The Denver Nuggets lost their first game since acquiring Chauncey Billups from the Detroit Pistons for Allen Iverson.  Cleveland shot the ball very well at 57% as a team.  The Cavaliers really busted the game open midway through the fourth quarter when the two guards, Maurice Williams and Daniel Gibson shined.

The game started to get chippy down the stretch and Kenyon Martin ended up getting tossed from the game for throwing elbows twice within a few minutes of each other.  Lebron almost finished with a triple-double but ended up 2 rebounds shy from his first this year.  The final score ended to be 108-99 with Mo Williams being the high man on the Cavs with 24 points.  On a side note, Ben Wallace ended up leaving the game with apparently a minor knee injury that was suffered when he went up for a slam in the fourth quarter.
