After Action Report
The Clippers snuck past the Nuggets 102-97. Every possession went the Clippers way. The Clippers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
