LOS ANGELES – It wasn’t how the Denver Nuggets were accustomed to winning last year, but it didn’t matter.
It was a win, and they’ll take it. After last year’s glaring 15-26 road record, Wednesday’s 107-98 win over the Los Angeles Clippers will serve as a welcome start to a season with so much potential.
Gary Harris’ fading jumper gave the Nuggets a 99-95 lead with 44 seconds left before he and Paul Millsap put it out of reach from the free-throw line. Franchise centerpiece Nikola Jokic had a game-high 21 points to go along with eight rebounds and five assists.
