After Action Report

In Denver, the Nuggets shocked the Clippers 112-109. Nuggets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Nuggets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
