After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Nuggets 114-111. Hawks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
