After Action Report

In a track meet, the Nuggets stunned the Clippers 123-110. Nuggets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
