After Action Report

The Nuggets buried the Clippers 129-109. The Clippers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
