The Nets have their longest winning streak in five seasons and the second-longest in the NBA. And they got it in style, with an emphatic 144-127 rout of Atlanta with new co-owner Joe Tsai cheering on from his suite, enjoying every minute.
The Nets (13-18) ran the Hawks ragged, scoring the second-most points in franchise history and their most ever in a home game. They shot a scalding 55.7 percent overall and 16-of-40 from 3-point range. And by the time it was over, they’d won their fifth straight for the first time since 2014-15.
