After Action Report
The Clippers buried the Nuggets 132-79. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
