Blake Griffin (#32) going up for a dunk.

This game was close at the half, being 54-51 Nuggets, but a stretch in the third quarter brought the score to 86-67 Nuggets. The final score was 112-91 Nuggets.

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Denver Nuggets (January 29, 2012)

The #2 (Nuggets) and #3 (Clippers) teams in the west played against each-other. It was a close game for the whole time. I'm guessing one of these teams will eventually get past the Thunder (1st in the west)! If they do, they'll probably have to beat the Thunder at least once. I hope you like hearing stats and the final score of this game. The Clippers won 109-105!

Here are the finalists for player of the game:

Chris Paul: 25 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 1 block

Nene: 18 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block

Chauncey Billups: 32 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists

Danilo Gallinari: 17 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists

It was very close between CP3 and Nene, but player of the game goes to Chris Paul.
