The Atlanta Hawks are back to a .500 record after taking a home loss on Friday evening to the Brooklyn Nets by a score of 113-105.
It was a tight game the whole way until Brooklyn ramped up their defensive execution in the fourth quarter, in part by putting Kevin Durant on Trae Young, and the Hawks started turning the ball over and stopped making shots.
Atlanta took a 91-89 lead into the fourth quarter but managed just six made fields goals on 22 attempts, while turning the ball over five times in the final frame. They scored but three points in the final 3:35 of the game, eventually finding themselves down multiple possessions with little time to recover.
