Lather, rinse, repeat.
Unfortunately for the Denver Nuggets, that is exactly how one can describe the team’s recent play, especially against non-playoff teams across the league. On Saturday, it was no different as Denver fell 104-102 on the road to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Nuggets (42-21) used the long ball to jump out to a fast start in the first quarter. Although the scoring dried up late in the quarter, seven 3-pointers helped Denver build a 33-23 advantage after one. After their offense cooled off in the second quarter, the Nuggets held a 61-58 lead at the halftime break.
