The Atlanta Hawks were looking to build upon Monday’s win over the Golden State Warriors as they entered play against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday evening. It would make for an interesting match-up, as both teams have very similar offensive formulas. They both struggle to make perimeter shots — at least as currently constructed — but tend to dominate on the interior. Atlanta entered play fourth in the league in points in the paint (per game) with Brooklyn not far back, landing fifth in the category.
Additionally, both teams rely on offensive rebounds and second chance points to generate some efficiency.
