After Action Report
The Nuggets fended off the Cavaliers 105-96. Nuggets' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Nuggets stayed locked in; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
