After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers fended off the Nuggets 106-99. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. Fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
