The Atlanta Hawks built up a seemingly insurmountable lead in the first half, quieting a Nuggets’ offense that was hitting on all cylinder’s over their last handful of games. At least until the fourth quarter.
Sound familiar?
Unfortunately for the Nuggets, Wilson Chandler, Jamal Murray and Juancho Hernangomez couldn’t quite match the late-game heroics of Tom Brady, James White and Julian Edelman from last weekend, as the Atlanta Hawks held off a furious rally by the Nuggets, coming away with a 117-106 victory and hand Denver a tough loss to start their three-game, east coast road trip.
