Cavs are sensational this season, but 2023 champions in 2024 still can beat anyone at home! Right?

Great offense in 1st quarter, but playing without defense against an elite opponent causes 40 points...

38-40 1st quarter vibes to the all-star game circus.

So, in the middle of the 2nd quarter Denver lead when suddenly Cavs have 16-0 run in just 90 seconds!? 16-0 in a minute and half!

I haven't seen the broadcast yet, but don't coaches call a timeout to make a change to stop things like that? Just wondering. If coach didn't call a timeout, why not? If he did call a timeout, maybe he should ask someone else what change might work. Just thinking and wondering

The only reaction I can remember from Malone is his double facepalm caught on camera about 15 seconds after that fatal sequence started (in the first 15 seconds of that 16-0 blitzkrieg run Detroit scored 2 threes and shot 2 free throws due 2 technical fouls for the Nuggets).
