You don’t hold a team to 91 points on 37% shooting in this supercharged scoring NBA w/o stellar defense. The #Nuggets put on a clinic in contesting shots in their win over the Clippers, contesting 41. Also, 👀 Jamal Murray’s defense in space in a couple clips. Simply splendid. pic.twitter.com/Z0WmldMHxj – 1:57 AM

My question to Kawhi was: “Do you think there’s any chance that you will be able to play on both games of a back-to-back at any point this season?”
Kawhi: “Yeah, for sure. Trying to establish games with me hitting those high 30 min. marks… (cont.’d)” – 1:41 AM

Postgame, Kawhi said that he would like to at some point play both ends of a back-to-back toward a goal of “trying to establish games with me hitting those high 30-minute marks.” Didn’t sound, to me anyway, like tomorrow would be that first B2B. – 1:34 AM

After tonight, Clippers are 1-5 against the five teams above them in the West.
And they’re 2-5 against the teams ranked in the 7-10 Play-In range.
They have yet to play #2 Grizzlies this season, the only West team to sweep them last season. – 1:25 AM

It is easy to sum this game up to the Clippers letting go of the rope quickly and things getting bad fast, but I think this has more to do with Denver punching first and not relenting than the Clippers folding.

Denver leads Clippers 66-32 at halftime.

I think the KCP stagger is my new favorite solution to Denver’s bench issues. He unlocks Bones, Brown and Cancar with his shooting and he has enough individual creations to get a shot when Denver needs him to.
It means no Braun, but I think this might be their best rotation. – 10:51 PM

Denver’s physicality on the perimeter tonight on defense has been very good. They are containing well and keeping everyone in front of them which is forcing the Clippers to play side to side instead of getting downhill. – 10:11 PM
