After Action Report
The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Hawks 115-85. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
