After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets demolished the Clippers 113-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
