Game of the Week: Nuggets vs. Clippers 11/27/92


It's an early season tussle at the LA Sports Arena from the 1992-93 season, the last year the Nuggets would wear those awesome rainbow unis.

This front-end of a home-and-home went down to the wire, with the Nuggets pulling out the victory 109-106.  I'll let you watch the ending to see how that final score came about.

But while the ending is crazy, I suggest you check out the whole video. There's a lot of good highlights in here, including impressive throwdowns by Lil' Robert Pack and a young LaPhonso Ellis -just three weeks into his NBA career- and some nifty passes by Mark Jackson.

For Denver, Chris Jackson (he wouldn't become Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf for another year) and Marcus Liberty co-lead the team with 19 points. LaPhonso Ellis had 16 points and 11 rebounds. For the Clippers, Ron Harper lead with 20 points and 4 steals, while Mark Jackson had 17 along with 8 assists. The full boxscore can be found HERE.

Footage is from KWGN, with Al Albert (Marv's brother) and Walter Davis on the call.
