After Action Report
The Nuggets buried the Cavaliers 121-97. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
