After Action Report

The Nuggets outlasted the Hawks 120-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
