Denver Stiffs, SB Nation’s Denver Nuggets blog, certainly got caught up in the excitement of Nuggets’ big victory in Cleveland Thursday, calling the 118-116 overtime victory an “Instant Classic.”
LeBron And Melo Put On A Show To Remember
Having watched every single Nuggets/Cavaliers game during the Carmelo Anthony/LeBron James Era, this was hands down the best of the bunch. We as NBA fans were privileged to witness an exceptional duel between two great teams led by their two great super stars. And we as Nuggets fans were even more privileged to witness a remarkable Nuggets victory.
Simply put, Melo and LeBron were spectacular tonight. While the Nuggets and Cavaliers have had some good contests over the years with these two in the league, rarely do both players play so exceptionally well against each other.
As impressive as Anthony’s line of 40 points, six assists and seven rebounds was, James night invoked comparisons to one of the all-time greats.
LeBron’s 43/13/15 game can be matched only by a performance by “Pistol” Pete Maravich...in 1974!
