Apart from Danilo Gallinari - who finished with 19 points on 6-of-13 shooting - the rest of the starters combined for all but 19 points in a game when the team needed all the help it could get. JaMychal Green and Lou Williams were the only players besides Gallinari to end up in double-digit numbers, scoring 13 and 24 points respectively.

The Clippers are known for high production despite not having big names on their roster, but ever since Tobias Harris' trade deadline steal by the Clippers, they are really finding it hard to shoot well and score at regular intervals.

Not able to control the pace and looking out of sorts for the most part of the ball game, LA couldn't capitalize one bit on Denver's 22 turnovers, and they need to improve massively on that front as they prepare to host the Dallas Mavericks next.
