After Action Report
The Cavaliers demolished the Nuggets 126-78. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
