ATLANTA — The Nets have the NBA’s toughest schedule the rest of the regular season. They can’t afford any stumbles if they want to make the postseason.
The Nets barely staved off a headfirst plunge on Saturday, coming from behind in the fourth quarter for a 114-112 escape against the lottery-bound Hawks at State Farm Arena.
Spencer Dinwiddie had a team-high 23 points and played stellar defense to force Trae Young to give the ball up on the final play.
