Denver’s charge toward the postseason is on.
The Nuggets (41-18) dispatched the Los Angeles Clippers 123-96 on Sunday at the Pepsi Center with a well-rounded, democratic performance featuring big games from Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap and cruised to another home win.
The victory improved the Nuggets’ home record to 26-4 and bumped them to just one game behind conference-leading Golden State. Their record at the Pepsi Center remained the best in the NBA.
Jokic and Millsap combined for 43 points and 32 rebounds in a dominant performance inside that saw the Nuggets win the rebounding battle 56-38.
