Game 5 Reset: Atlanta Hawks Grades & Reactions vs. Brooklyn Nets
Home is where the wins are. The Hawks effectively used the well-deserved home court advantage, and amidst all the pressure, were able to break the 2-2 deadlock with an uplifting 107 to 97 victory.
From the game’s opening tip, the Hawks emphasized the attack and ended up building a 16 point margin. The shooting improved and for the first time all series, all five starters made quality impacts on the game’s outcome.
The Nets never led in the entire game, even when the fickle fourth quarter rolled its ugly head around. Pushed to their limits once again, the poise of the starters assured there be no collapse. A few cash ins at the charity stripe and all was well in Philips Arena.
