The Atlanta Hawks suffered defeat to the Nets on Thursday night in the first game of a two game road stint in Brooklyn. This would be the first game after waiving Patty Mills and converting Trent Forrest to a standard NBA contract.
The first quarter was, by far, the ugliest of the game. The Hawks allowed five three-pointers in the first five minutes of play. Offensively, it was evident this team was missing their one-man army. The Nets immediately set off to an 18-4 lead.
Amidst the chaos, a serviceable example of the dysfunctionalty can be seen on this fastbreak.
