After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Nuggets 126-101. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
