The last time the Atlanta Hawks met the Brooklyn Nets, they eliminated them from the first round of the playoffs.
The stakes clearly aren't that high this time, so coach Mike Budenholzer could give a starter the night off Wednesday when the Hawks go for a fifth straight win and try to continue their recent success over the winless Nets.
Atlanta (4-1) set a franchise record with 60 wins and finished with the best record in the Eastern Conference last season before ousting Brooklyn in six games to open the playoffs. The Hawks were eventually swept by Cleveland in the East finals, so a mere four-game winning streak early this season doesn't have them particularly excited.
