The Denver Nuggets traveled back to California for the third time in four games but finally lost one to the Los Angeles Clippers, 109-103. Coach Michael Malone was cagey with his game plan in preparation for opening night against the Clippers next week. Denver’s starters played the first twelve minutes of the game together, then made way for 36 minutes of bench play from the Nuggets. Paul Millsap had three blocks and Nikola Jokic had three assists, but other than Will Barton’s 11 points in the quarter nobody else really stood out in a mostly-passive and uncomfortable time with the starting unit.
