After Action Report

The Hawks buried the Nuggets 119-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
