After Action Report
The Nuggets held off the Cavaliers 99-92. Nuggets torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
