After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets took care of the Cavaliers 109-99. Nuggets torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
