After Action Report
The Hawks shocked the Nuggets 123-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
