Clippers' first Blake-less game goes just fine

LOS ANGELES >> The road the Clippers have to travel without Blake Griffin is a difficult one. The storm clouds have formed, the hazards are on the path and a wrong move can mean disaster.

The margins for error, they’ve shrunk considerably

These are the moments when you’re concentration needs to be at its highest point. No texting. No radio. Hands at 10 and 2; eyes straight ahead. And, then, just drive.

In their first trip through a game without Griffin, the Clippers successfully navigated through the Denver Nuggets, beating them 119-102 thanks to big night from the players who normally share the court with Griffin.
