The L.A. Clippers ended a 13-year road playoff drought and moved within one victory of the franchise's first series win in 30 years by beating the Denver Nuggets 100-86 Saturday night.
"It's a great feeling, but we can't get lackadaisical. We have to come out with some fight," forward Elton Brand said. "I don't know what else to say. When we get to the second round, it will be like, 'Welcome to the party.'"
Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony was stunned after the loss, staring at the back of his locker with a towel draped over his head.
"This right here really hurts, to lose on our home court the way we did," Anthony said.
