After Action Report

In Denver, the Clippers buried the Nuggets 115-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Clippers; Clippers' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
