After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets demolished the Cavaliers 133-99. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
