Part 2/6:

In Cleveland, Donovan Mitchell led his Cavaliers against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. The gameplay featured standout performances, particularly from Mitchell and Caris LeVert, who not only displayed skill but also earned a catchy new nickname: "Dirty Verie." LeVert's offensive prowess shone alongside Mitchell, as the Cavaliers adapted their strategy to outpace the Nuggets.

While Jokic recorded an impressive 27 points, 20 rebounds, and 11 assists for a historical 2020 triple-double—marking his 139th career triple-double and surpassing Magic Johnson's record for third most in NBA history—the Nuggets struggled with their defense. Despite scoring 76 points in the paint, they fell short against a determined Cavs team, losing the game by 12 points.
