After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers squeaked past the Nuggets 112-108. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
