After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Nuggets shocked the Clippers 135-119. The breakneck pace played right into Nuggets' hands. The Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
