After Action Report
The Cavaliers pulled away from the Nuggets 119-102. Cavaliers torched the Nuggets on the offensive end. The Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Cavaliers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
