After Action Report

In a track meet, the Nuggets held off the Clippers 129-123. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nuggets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed.
