After Action Report
The Cavaliers fended off the Nuggets 113-104. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Nuggets lately; Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
