After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers blew the doors off the Nuggets 135-95. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Nuggets. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
