After Action Report
The Nuggets outlasted the Cavaliers 106-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
