After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets snuck past the Hawks 120-118. The breakneck pace played right into Nuggets' hands. The Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
