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.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.

  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nuggets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
