Denver Nuggets Team Report - December 3

(Basketball News) - The Denver Nuggets found themselves on the losing end of a 92-73 decision to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Pepsi Center.

James and Anthony, the first and third picks, respectively, of the 2003 NBA Draft, finished 1-2 in the Rookie of the Year voting last season. James took home the honor.

Anthony posted 14 points for the Nuggets, who watched a two-game winning streak come to an end. Andre Miller chipped in 10 in the loss.

The game was never close and the Cavaliers were in control from the start.

Denver finally made some noise and actually outscored the visitors 25-20 in the third quarter, but it did not matter. The Cavs’ lead was simply too big — at one point they led by as many as 25 — and they cruised the rest of the contest to the easy victory.

Marcus Camby grabbed 10 rebounds in 31 minutes and has reached the double digit mark in four straight outings.

The Nuggets return to action on Saturday when they host Shaquille O’Neal and the Miami Heat.
