After Action Report

In a track meet, the Clippers ran roughshod over the Nuggets 127-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Clippers. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • 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.
  • Clippers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
