After Action Report

The Hawks survived the Nuggets 97-96. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Hawks' stars took over and bent the game to their will; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Hawks. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
