MVP: Chris Paul had 5 assists in the first four minutes of the game and continued to cruise, finishing the night with 15 points, 10 assists, 3 steals, and 0 turnovers in a tidy 28 minutes of playing time.
That was … better control of the glass: Considering the Clippers have won the only two games this season in which they held a rebounding advantage, it looked promising when the team held a lead on rebounds going into the half. That lead was not sustained, but overall, there was a visibly improved effort to control the glass on the night, with the most noticeable sign of that effort shown in the Clips holding the Nuggets to only 8 offensive rebounds on the night.
