After Action Report
The Nuggets outlasted the Cavaliers 117-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
