After Action Report
The Nuggets squeaked past the Clippers 102-97. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Clippers. Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
