CLEVELAND — The Denver Nuggets secured one of their biggest wins of the season Saturday night, using hot shooting and clutch play on both ends of the floor to win at Cleveland 126-117 on the second night of a back-to-back set.
Here are seven takeaways from Denver’s fourth consecutive road win:
1. Where’s Joker? After breaking a streak of 20 consecutive games in double figures Friday night in Memphis, Nikola Jokic again finished with nine points against the Cavaliers. Coach Michael Malone was adamant before the game that, even with Paul Millsap back, he wants the Nuggets’ offense to run through Jokic and for him to take more shots.
