DENVER (AP) — Donovan Mitchell scored 32 points, including two free throws with 0.9 seconds left after James Harden's tying 3-pointer, and the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied to beat the Denver Nuggets 119-117 on Monday night.

The Nuggets will still be without some firepower themselves, though, as two of their top forwards, Peyton Watson and Aaron Gordon, are still sidelined with their respective hamstring injuries. And with both out, their absence might leave Denver's rotation hobbled until closer to March once both are able to complete their rehab.

In a recent clip from the Nuggets vs. Cavaliers’ night, James Harden and Donovan Mitchell showed up making a vital shot in a clutch moment.
