The Atlanta Hawks were on the road in New York again on Friday evening, this time taking on the Brooklyn Nets. The Hawks were unable to pick up the win in this one, dropping the game 120-116 to the Nets, and giving them a three-game losing streak. Atlanta was in the game until the end, but could not slow down the star power on the other side ultimately.
Brooklyn got out to a hot start behind Kevin Durant in the first quarter, with the superstar forward scoring 18 points in the opening period. Trae Young did his best to match, with 14 of Atlanta’s 30 first quarter points.
