There was a time this season when no lead was safe at Barclays Center. That was true again Wednesday, only this time it was the Brooklyn Nets that roared back from a big deficit.
The Nets pulled off the largest come-from-behind victory of the Brooklyn era, erasing a 19-point second-quarter deficit and rolling to a 116-100 win over the Atlanta Hawks.
The comeback was the franchise’s largest since the New Jersey Nets came back from a 76-57 deficit with 4:35 remaining in the third quarter to defeat the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif.
