In probably their most important game of the season to date, the Atlanta Hawks had modest control of the game versus the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday evening until the final minutes of the fourth quarter. Brooklyn had a late surge to get the game down to a three-point margin but Atlanta finally put the game away as Trae Young scored nine points in the final 91 seconds of play to secure the home court victory by a score of 122-115.
The win put Atlanta a full game ahead of Brooklyn and Charlotte in eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings with eight days left on the NBA schedule.
