After Action Report

In a track meet, the Nuggets snuck past the Clippers 134-130 in overtime. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

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.
  • Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
