After Action Report
The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Clippers 136-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Clippers are in a full-on tailspin. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Clippers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
