NBA 2018-19: 3 Talking points from Los Angeles Clippers vs Denver Nuggets

#2 The Clippers' flop show from long-range; Denver's domination on the boards

The Clippers' three-point percentage is the 2nd best in the league.

For a team that makes almost 40% of their shots from deep, the Clippers were quite miserable from distance as they started 0-14 from beyond the arc in the blowout loss. Before the final buzzer, they had managed to shoot 3-of-21 from long-range, bringing their conversion down to a dismal 14.3% on the night.

Veteran shooting guard Lou Williams had a nightmarish 6-of-15 showing from the field, making just one of his five three-point attempts. Moreover, adding insult to injury was rookie starter Shae-Gilgeous Alexander's 0-9 shooting night, as he finished with just 1 point in 30 minutes of on-court time.

The Clippers allowed 12 offensive boards to the league's best offensive rebounding team, as they got outrebounded 56-38 on the whole. The LA Clippers average 45+ rebounds per game this season, but were clearly dominated in the paint by the surging Nuggets in this game
