After Action Report
The Hawks demolished the Nuggets 119-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
