After Action Report

The Nuggets pulled away from the Hawks 99-86. Nuggets' starting five clicked while the Hawks looked disjointed. Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Hawks are in a full-on tailspin. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
