After Action Report

The Clippers handled the Nuggets 101-87. Ugly basketball, but the Clippers did just enough. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Nuggets stayed locked in. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
