Forgive us, Cavs fans. The dregs of January are here, and unexpected commitments forced us to miss the live thread. Personally, I picked the absolute worst weekend to travel to the higher latitudes. It’s about -15 wind chill where I’m at in Michigan. The Cavaliers also suffered from the January chills, as they were dismantled by the red hot Nuggets in the first half, getting outscored 70-46 before Cleveland outscored Denver by two in the last half.
Cleveland was led by a surprising performance by Ante Zizic and his 23 points. Ante spaced the floor well on his pick/and roll execution with Cameron Payne (three assists) and Collin Sexton (seven assists) and finished well around the basket and got to the line.
