The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Brooklyn Nets, 129.127, at StateFarm Arena on Sunday.

The Hawks (31-30) have gone undefeated since the departure of Nate McMillan as head coach, but they had to work hard in this one to get past the Nets (34-26), a win that moved Atlanta to 17-12 at home, while the Nets fell to 16-15 on the road. Atlanta looked better in the early going and dominated the first quarter, racing out to a 37-29 score in the first 12 minutes, but the Nets showed they wouldn’t go down without a fight when they won the second quarter by a 28-27 score. Brooklyn also won the third quarter by a 37-33 score and was quite close to completing the comeback in the final 12 minutes, but Atlanta held on. Even though the Nets won the final quarter by a 33-32 score, the Hawks won in the final play of the game when Trae Young nailed the game-winning shot, a 12-foot jumpshot that gave the Hawks the lead with 0.1 seconds left in the game.
