After Action Report
The Clippers pulled away from the Nuggets 113-97. Clippers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Clippers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Clippers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
