After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Nuggets survived the Cavaliers 104-103. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
