After Action Report

The Hawks buried the Nuggets 117-92. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; Hawks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
