After Action Report
The Nuggets upended the Clippers 127-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell; the Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
