In their last encounter with Milwaukee Bucks on March 30th, despite a valiant effort in the fourth quarter where they scored 39 points, ATL fell short with a final score of 113-122. This loss highlighted some defensive weaknesses as they allowed Milwaukee to shoot an impressive 70 percent from two-point range and score over half of their points in the paint. However, it wasn't all gloom for ATL; they managed to convert 40 percent of their three-point attempts and fought hard to draw fouls and capitalize on free throws with an accuracy rate of 83 percent.


Just days earlier on March 28th against Boston Celtics, ATL showed resilience by pushing through to overtime and securing a narrow win with a final score of 123-122. This game was marked by frequent lead changes – an astounding total of 41 – but ultimately showcased ATL's ability to clutch victory from close contests. Their offensive efforts were commendable as they shot nearly half from beyond the arc and dominated second-chance points with an impressive tally of 28.

Against Portland Trail Blazers on March 27th, ATL displayed both offensive prowess and defensive strength in their convincing win scoring at least twenty points each quarter leading up to a comfortable margin victory at State Farm Arena. The defense was particularly notable for its nine blocks and twelve steals contributing significantly towards limiting Portland's scoring opportunities.


Looking ahead at Denver Nuggets' formidable lineup, it is clear that Atlanta Hawks will need more than just determination; strategic adjustments are imperative especially in bolstering defense without compromising offensive output which has been quite potent recently.
