The fortunes of the Hawks and Nuggets seemed to reverse on Friday night in the first and fourth quarters. After making six of their first seven 3s in the first quarter, the Hawks couldn’t buy a bucket in the fourth quarter.
Meanwhile, the rim opened up for the Nuggets and the Hawks couldn’t stop them. They fell 134-133 at State Farm Arena.
