After Action Report
The Nuggets stunned the Clippers 158-149 in double overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
