The Denver Nuggets defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 103-100 after surrendering another double-digit lead. They controlled this game until midway through the 3rd quarter in which the Clippers gained a 26-5 run, conquering Denver’s 17 point lead and creating a 5 point lead of their own. To Denver’s credit, they did not quit once Los Angeles obtained the momentum. Jokic and Rivers hit very clutch shots late in the game, and great isolation defense by Davon Reed sealed it as time expired.
Although will Barton struggled from three, only hitting 2-9 attempts, he did present a calming presence towards the latter half of the game.
