After Action Report

The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Hawks 126-105. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Hawks. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nuggets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
