Preview: Denver Nuggets end road trip against LA Clippers
During the dog days of an NBA regular season, a win is a win, regardless of opponent or situation.

Nikola Joki\u0107 and Austin Rivers each had 22 points, while Denver’s defense did just enough down the stretch to escape with the road victory. Now the Nuggets (20-18) will end their brief road trip with another matchup against the LA Clippers.
