I was bored and wanted to watch some games. I watched both nuggets games. I watched their feed too.
The announcers were blown away by Sextons development between games. I was too to be honest.
I thought that the first Denver game was one of the best of the season at the time. Looking back Sexton and Garland played pretty well, but Sexton had way more "wtf" moments and Garland also was better later in the season.
Sexton took it to a new level of efficiency, decisionmaking and defense believe it or not between those games.
It's more obvious in the 2nd game he is playing within the offense and picking his spots rather than forcing it. Very good in the 2nd one at capitalizing off turnovers and just getting up the floor quicker.
I'd say the Cavs really lucked out in the first game that they missed so many 3s. The 2nd game was a legit win with good execution and with several spans of good defense if not good defense the whole game.
Sexton in the first game looks like a guy with potential. In the 2nd one he looks like a guy who will hurt you if you let off him for second. Looks like an NBA player.
Also, Sexton needed the ball in his hands less to do more in the 2nd Denver game.
Also Cedi needs to tighten his handle.
