Hawks vs. Nuggets
The NBA regular season is in full swing, and the Nuggets' clash with the Hawks is in the spotlight. The Nuggets, with the same record as the Timberwolves, sit firmly in the second place in the West, and Murray returned from injury and made his debut, with momentum. It is worth mentioning that during Murray's previous absence, Jokic also showed the spirit of the defending champion in the process of leading the Nuggets, and gave many league powerhouses a blow. And this time to accept the challenge of the Hawks at home and usher in the return of Murray, they are bound to deal a heavy blow to the opponent.
The Hawks, who sit in 10th place in the East so far, lost their last game and are clearly eager to turn things around. But unfortunately, Trae Young, the team's star player, still did not return to the game. At the same time, Murray, who played the commander of the court, failed to continue to show his explosive power in the specific competition. Therefore, after four quarters of regular time between the two sides, the Nuggets won by 32 points with a total score of 142-110 and returned to the first place in the West.
Hawks vs. Nuggets
At the beginning of the game, the two teams launched a fierce confrontation, you come and go, like a dragon fighting tiger, the scene is stalemate. In the second half of the first quarter, the Nuggets went down like a tiger, and a wave of 10-0 offensive surging like a tide, playing a score of 33-26 and instantly establishing a lead. Entering the second quarter, the Nuggets' rotation lineup was also in hot shape, blossoming more points, and gradually widening the point difference. The Hawks, despite their struggles, were unable to stop the Nuggets' offensive pace, allowing the Nuggets to continue to play a 36-30 lead.
The Hawks were still powerless on the defensive end, and the Nuggets took advantage of the victory to chase after them, widening the margin to more than 20 points. Pope and Porter were hot on the outside, like marksmen, frequently hitting key shots, and did not give the opponent the slightest chance to counterattack. By the fourth quarter, the Hawks were powerless and the margin was huge. The Nuggets basically sent a bench lineup for practice, and in the end, the Nuggets defeated the Hawks with a score of 142-110, and the Hawks suffered an embarrassing two-game losing streak.
