Brooklyn Nets beset by foul trouble, waste career-best night from Kevin Durant in costly loss to Atlanta Hawks

ATLANTA -- Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant scored a career-high 55 points that included a career-high eight 3-pointers on Saturday night -- but those weren't the numbers he was focused on after a disappointing 122-115 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

Durant was frustrated that his team was "undisciplined" defensively and couldn't get over the fact that they allowed the Hawks to go to the free throw line 49 times compared to just 19 attempts for the Nets.

"We're fouling early," Durant said. "We put them in the bonus early every quarter. 37-14 [difference in] free throw makes.
