After Action Report
The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 131-98. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
