After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers outlasted the Nuggets 111-105. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
