38 points in Q1.
62 points the rest of the way. Tough one but keep learning from mistakes.

Great game John Collins. He played extremely well on offense. His defense was bad but his offense was elite.

I was hoping for another 1982-style stat, but as per the YES Network, the Nets came back from at least 19 down to win in March 2012 against... Travis Schlenk's Golden State Warriors! I'll take that as a good sign.

Oh, and 116 < 144. Net positive! Go Hawks!

Trae 3-14 from 3 in the last 2 games. Blew up his percentages for January, smh.
Half of them were terribad shot selections.

Could have won if guys weren't so tired. Strong start, just a lot of guys ran out of juice. Actually, Collins was the one guy that had his usual energy.

Nets had been favored to win by 9.
Tough game for us on a back to back. Collins was huge for us.
We missed far to many three pointers that turned into X amount of points for Brooklyn off rebounds?

Get some rest young Hawks!

Hamilton had to have had two of the funniest turnovers I've ever seen to the point I'm sure a 23 and Me result would show he's part of the Teague family tree. Good things come in threes when I saw that Adetokunbo fastball off the Beard's beard.

Fatigue decimated this team in the second half. Trae was brilliant in the first quarter but ends with 6 turnovers and 2-9 shooting from 3, including a stretch where he missed 7 straight (most being awful shots).

Collins may legitimately be the best player from the 2017 draft class, he’s definitely in the conversation. When you look at the averages and efficiency he dwarfs everyone else. Kyle Kuzma is being called a future star (lol), imagine if Collins was doing this for the lakers right now, the media wouldn’t stop talking about him.

Worst half of basketball from Trae all season. He was a joke in the second half and should have been benched. It's a shame because we came out really playing nice in the first half.
