After Action Report
The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 116-93. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
