After Action Report
The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Hawks 116-95. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
