The Clippers have seen dividends from a change in coach Tyronn Lue’s rotation. Denver “has owned us,” Lue acknowledged before tipoff, and his team is now 2-8 against the Nuggets since 2021. But the Clippers’ struggles against the league’s upper crust isn’t limited to this Mile High matchup. He coached the Clippers in 2021 to their deepest postseason run in franchise history after a ho-hum 21-17 record against winning teams. Denver forward Aaron Gordon, whom Lue also described as owning the Clippers before tipoff, finished with 17 points, while Jamal Murray scored 24.
