After Action Report
The Nuggets blew the doors off the Hawks 110-85. The better team simply showed up tonight. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
