After Action Report

The Nuggets knocked off the Hawks 129-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
