Two words: The Manimal.
The Denver Nuggets defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 87-81 wednesday night, and how they did it might surprise some fans.
The Clippers, with DeAndre Jordan and their flashy dunk finishes, started the game with a a plethora of three-pointers and took an early 11-2 lead, but Denver would weather the storm as the game began to develop. Denver soon tied the game as a strange trend continued.
Denver fought back and took the lead with big dunks and by attacking the paint like many expect the Clippers to do.
Possession after possession the Nuggets drove in and passed to the paint, gathering offensive rebound after offensive rebound, and made the Clippers offense try to run faster and keep up with the low-post, yet fast paced offense Denver kept running.
