A rather pedestrian effort from James (27 points, 4 assists) took a backseat as the Nuggets crushed the Cavs 122-100. Allen Iverson dropped in 37 to lead Denver, and J.R. Smith contributed 29 points (7-8 from behind the arc) to bolster the offense off the bench.
King James leads Melo in NBA Finals appearances, but Anthony’s Nuggets have won 7 of 9 meetings between the two teams since the friends and rivals joined the league in 2003.
