After Action Report
The Nuggets squeaked past the Hawks 102-100. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. The Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
