Will Barton added 22 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists while Nikola Jokic contributed 8 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists for the Denver Nuggets in the losing effort. The Denver Nuggets lack of leadership both on the floor and the bench, to be a serious contender. Hence losses to lowly teams like the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers. Coach Michael Malone needs to play Michael Porter Jr. because the team needs to play offense and defense anyways. So as might develop the young player because they need a killer for situations like in this game. Trading Malik Beasley and Juancho Hernangomez is hitting the Denver Nuggets back. That's the weak move by the team and now the chemistry is not so good at it and Paul Millsap plays inconsistent. Anyways the Cleveland Cavaliers improve their record to 18-45 while the Denver Nuggets fall to 42-21 on the season.
