After Action Report

The Nuggets took care of the Hawks 108-93. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nuggets. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
