“Denver’s road struggles reared their unsightly head Wednesday against the Clippers.
Here are three takeaways from Denver’s 111-102 loss Wednesday in Los Angeles:
**1. Nikola Jokic is truly one of one.** Who else could have a 22-point, 15-rebound and 10-assist triple-double considered a bad game? The shot wasn’t falling for the two-time Most Valuable Player, who finished an uncharacteristic 9 of 32 from the field. Despite the unusually high number of attempts, Denver’s center earned just a couple of free throws. He also went 2 of 7 from 3. A 0-for-9 shooting stretch in the second quarter highlighted the rare off night for Jokic, who also finished with a team-high four turnovers. Despite the tough night, the Nuggets still won his 37-plus minutes of playing time by one point.”
