Kenny Atkinson and the Brooklyn Nets faced off against the Atlanta Hawks in a one-sided affair in which Atkinson saw his former team batter his new team in the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets had very little riding on this game, thus making what happened after the game perhaps the most significant moment of the night.
After the buzzer sounded and the Nets headed into the locker room, the entire Hawks bench hung around to exchange some words and hugs for their former assistant coach. The video was featured on Sportscenter’s "Why We Love the Game" segment.
