LOS ANGELES – Nuggets veteran Will Barton seized the visiting locker room at Staples Center on Friday night.
He spoke passionately about how the Clippers imposed their will on the Nuggets, embarrassing and humbling them in a matchup with playoff implications.
“Will had a good speech for us, about five minutes, just about how teams think we’re soft, and if they get into us, they can disorient anything we do,” said Monte Morris, recounting the sensitive scene. “Our offense was stagnant from jump. They wasn’t feeling us on defense. Going forward, these are the teams we have to beat to be elite.
