After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers outlasted the Nuggets 115-105. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Clippers' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
