After Action Report
In Denver, the Cavaliers outlasted the Nuggets 132-122. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
