After Action Report
The Hawks held off the Nuggets 103-95. The Hawks' lockdown unit choked off Nuggets' offense. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
