In the wake of the holidays, the Denver Nuggets gave their fans something to cheer about with a 106-102 victory against the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Nuggets were gifted a late holiday gift today with news that in addition to Blake Griffin remaining sidelined after knee surgery, Chris Paul and J.J. Redick each sat out with hamstring injuries. The Clippers started Austin Rivers, Jamal Crawford, Luc Mbah a Moute, Wesley Johnson, and DeAndre Jordan, while the Nuggets came out with their normal five-man group.
