The Denver Nuggets were convincingly defeated 149-135 by the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday on their home floor. Since their loss to the Washington Wizards on Dec. 7th, the Nuggets had won five of six games. But they have now dropped their past two games.
“We are not even close to where we’re supposed to be,” said Nikola Jokic after Friday’s loss. “I think how bad we’ve played, we’re in a good spot.”
Jokic has also been more visibly frustrated on the floor than he has typically behaved.
“We need to start thinking what I can do for this team to help, not what the team can do to help me… We should point (the thumb not the finger).”
