Few expected trouble when the Cleveland Cavaliers faced a banged-up Denver Nuggets team. Still, the game twisted into something tense by the end. The Cavaliers escaped in a narrow 113-108 win.

Donovan Mitchell led the charge with 33 points, six rebounds, and five assists. He had help as Darius Garland added 18 points and eight assists.

Without Nikola Jokic, plus Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun, Cameron Johnson, and Jonas Valanciunas, the Nuggets leaned hard on Jamal Murray, who poured in 34 points and dished out seven assists.

Without Jokic, even a strong push by Denver ends short, highlighting just how much the Nuggets miss their star center.
