In two games in Atlanta, the Nets’ Bojan Bogdanovic shot a combined 5-of-17. Now, that performance by the Nets wing was not the sole reason the Nets came home trailing the Hawks, 0-2, in the first-round series.
On Saturday, Bogdanovic shot 7-of-13, scored 19 points — the most by a rookie in the playoffs to that point this postseason — and the Nets came out of the game having closed the gap to 2-1 in the series. Again, Bogdanovic was not the sole reason the Nets won, 91-83, in Game 3 at Barclays Center.
But he was a big reason.
