Make it three-straight.
The Nets defeated the Hawks, 117-108, Wednesday night to increase their winning streak to three games. With the win, Brooklyn hits the six-game road trip with a 5-3 record while Atlanta falls to 4-4 on the short season.
“I just think we are improving on both ends. We’re understanding defensively how we want to play and offensively, I think we’re becoming more willing to get to second actions, trust and move it against a loaded defense as often as possible,” said Steve Nash after the Nets win Wednesday night. “We’re growing. We’re improving. We’re getting a feel for one another but it’s got to be a process we never let go of.
