After Action Report
The Clippers snuck past the Nuggets 112-108. Ugly basketball, but the Clippers did just enough. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Clippers' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
