After Action Report
In Denver, the Cavaliers survived the Nuggets 124-122. Cavaliers' starting five clicked while the Nuggets looked disjointed. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
