After Action Report
The Nuggets buried the Hawks 117-95. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
