The Nuggets downed the Clippers 118-105. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Clippers. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Clippers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it
