Cavaliers vs Nuggets: Denver, Championship Contenders






Can a team with no superstar make it to the finals ? Well the Denver Nuggets are definitely trying to become the first team in the world to win a championship without a single AllStar. After beating the Cavaliers last night, 111-103 the Nuggets have extended their winning streak to 9 games. As amazing as superstar Kyrie Irving is, Denver's defense was overpowering. Kyrie Irving played well led his team with 26 points but, got into foul trouble and sat out most of the 3rd. The Nuggets on the other hand took advantage. They had 8 players in double figures and Danilo Gallinari led the way with 19 points. In addition, they had 62 points in the paint and beat the Cavs 19-5 in fast break points. Denver also had 46 rebounds compared to Cleveland's 38. Denver got out in transition and stayed aggressive. I think they are well on their way to being top contenders for the championship.
