The Nuggets buried the Hawks 117-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Nuggets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
