Brooklyn Nets @ Atlanta Hawks 3/9/19 Postgame Notes and Observations

The Nets didn’t put up their best showing against the Hawks yet somehow still found a way to snag the win. They missed threes and free throws a plenty but still did enough to secure the W. Here’s how it went down.

1st Quarter:

  • Atlanta go on a 6-0 run to start the game
  • First bucket of the game is a corner three for Kurucs
  • The offensive board from Allen leads to an easy layup for Crabbe
  • Feathery floater from Russell
  • Wonderful cross court pass from D’Lo to Harris leads to the three
  • The Russell three gives them their first lead of the contest
  • Carroll hits the floater
  • Nice pick and roll play to break down the Hawks offense
  • DeMarr3 Carroll
  • Bank shot for Spencer
  • Backs it up with the three pointer
  • Nets hold a 26-23 lead after one

2nd Quarter:

  • Russell is so sleek with the floater
