Atlanta Hawks: Rapid Reactions to Thrilling 106-98 Triumph vs. Nuggets
Hand up, I was as nervous as anyone when Denver used a 7-0 run to pull to within 10 at 101-91. But the Atlanta Hawks showed grit and resilience to put this one away in the final minutes to snag their sixth victory of the season.
Oh, by the way, would you believe me if I said Huerter led the Hawks in minutes? (36). I think we may have an adequate replacement for Taurean Prince during his injury-caused-absence.
I’m not even going to let Collins’ ejection with 2.6 seconds left in regulation spoil this one.
The Atlanta Hawks were robbed of a reunion with one of their stretch-run greats in Paul Millsap, who broke his toe in the Denver Nuggets last game against the Hornets.
Millsap, the former Atlanta Hawk who joined Denver in free agency two summers ago, was on the sideline for his former team’s victory over his current team.
