Guard Nate Robinson had 20 points off the bench and guard Ty Lawson had 10 points and 14 assists for the Nuggets, who ended a three-game losing streak. Denver led by 18 in the first half but had to withstand a strong second-half surge by the Clippers. Forward Blake Griffin had 32 points and 12 rebounds, and guard Chris Paul had 17 points and 15 assists for the Clippers, who produced a furious sequence at the end the game. Trailing by four, Griffin hit a free throw and deliberately missed the second. The Clippers got the rebound but missed two 3-point attempts in the final 7.9 seconds to end the game. Denver was outscored 31-12 in the third quarter but turned things around to start the fourth. Trailing 74-71, the Nuggets went on a 13-3 run to take a seven-point lead. Things then got chippy. Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried was called for a flagrant 1 foul on center DeAndre Jordan. Jordan's retaliation drew a technical and Clippers coach Doc Rivers also was hit with a technical. Jordan then committed a flagrant 1 foul on Denver center Jusuf Nurkic, and the Nuggets rookie hit two free throws and a jumper to give Denver a 90-81 lead. Faried was hit with a technical after he committed a loose-ball foul, and the Clippers rallied to tie it at 93-93 on two free throws by Griffin. Consecutive threes by Chandler and forward Danilo Gallinari and a layup by center Timofey Mozgov gave the Nuggets a 107-100 lead with 1:08 left. Los Angeles hit eight of its first 10 shots in the third quarter to wipe out a 16-point deficit. The Nuggets, who missed their first 10 shots of the period, finally scored on a 3-pointer by Gallinari with 6:02 left in the quarter to make it 62-59. Guard Matt Barnes hit a layup and then had a steal and layup to give the Clippers a 63-62 lead, their first since early in the game. The Clippers' lead increased to 71-64 on guard J.J. Redick's 3-pointer and a Griffin free throw. Robinson had 12 points in the first half as the Nuggets led 59-43 at the break. Courtesy of: kspr.com
