After Action Report

The Clippers squeaked past the Nuggets 118-115. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
