Hawks lose steam in second half in potentially decisive tiebreaker loss

The Atlanta Hawks dropped their second straight game against the Brooklyn Nets after suffering a 114-102 defeat at Barclays Center on Saturday afternoon.

Saddiq Bey led the Hawks with 23 points with Dejounte Murray adding 20 points. For the Nets, Mikal Bridges scored a game-high 38 points with Cam Johnson adding 23 to the Brooklyn cause.

This was an important game for the Atlanta Hawks heading into this contest. Having just lost against the Nets on Thursday, another defeat to the same team would bring them to within two games of the final Play-In spot with All-Star guard Trae Young still sidelined for a number of weeks still to come.
