The Brooklyn Nets will need their running shoes Saturday night when they visit the second-fastest team in the NBA in the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena.
Brooklyn (34-33) has righted the ship with two straight wins following three ugly losses last week and will be looking to close out a three-game season sweep of Atlanta (22-44). The Nets have won their last three games against the Hawks in Atlanta dating back to the 2016-17 season.
The Hawks are in a rebuilding mode and are 3-5 since the All-Star break last month. They’ve dropped their last two decisions.
