DENVER - Lou Williams scored 25 points and Boban Marjanovic added a season-high 18 as the Los Angeles Clippers overcame a 19-point deficit in the third quarter to beat the Denver Nuggets 122-120 on Tuesday night.
Austin Rivers added 17 points and Montrezl Harrell had 15 for the Clippers, whose bench outscored Denver's reserves 54-4 in the second half.
Gary Harris had 23 points to lead the Nuggets, who lost consecutive games at home for the first time this season. Paul Millsap had nine points and seven rebounds in 23:26 minutes of play in his return from a left wrist injury that had sidelined him for the last three months.
Millsap entered the game for the first time midway through the first quarter - his first action since tearing a left wrist ligament Nov. 19 against the Los Angeles Lakers. He muscled in a layup for his first points of the game and banked in a 3-pointer from 26 feet away to culminate a 17-4 burst over the last four minutes of the open period. (
