After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Nuggets blew the doors off the Clippers 121-95. The Clippers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; the Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
