Not himself of late, Jamal Murray got a lecture from Nuggets coach Michael Malone about being more aggressive and not passing up open shots. With the Cavs still hanging around in the fourth, Murray made three 3-pointers in a 65-second span to push Denver's lead to 21. "With the exception of Murray, we took some steps in the right direction," Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. They made their first 12 shots, opened a 22-point lead in the second half and then let Murray close out the Cavs. Cavaliers: F Taurean Prince missed his second straight game with a sprained left ankle.
