Brooklyn vs Atlanta in biggest game of the season

Hawks host Nets in crucial Eastern Conference matchup

Image

The Atlanta Hawks and Brooklyn Nets will meet on Saturday evening with quite a bit on the line. With both teams tied at 40-37, the winner of this game will vault above the other in the standings, obviously. On top of that, whoever loses this game is locked into the Play-In tournament, with no chance of making the the top-6 (or falling below the No. 10 seed and missing the Play-In).

The Nets will obviously present a huge challenge, as despite their record they can be one of the most potent offensive teams in the NBA. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are unstoppable typically, leaving a minimal offensive load for the cast around them. Matching up with Brooklyn will be a difficult task for the Hawks as it is for any team.

Huge win. Possibly saved the season with this one.

Doing it without Collins is really impressive.

8th seed( for the moment) feels so much better than 10.

Outstanding win!
Trae lead us to victory.

Kevin Durant scored 55 points but it wasn't enough.

What a great win!
This 4th quarter was so stressful, with suddenly no field goal for about 5min, Trae not scoring or passing, Bogi with a stupid fast turnaround shot... then this Bogi 3pts refused by the refs (was not trusting Scott decisions at this point) while the clock should have been with 1s left if it had not restart... thanks, they got back to playing well just in time and understand they had to play on Irving and his 5 fouls.

The great thing: some weeks ago, this kind of game would have been a L, now it's a W

What is crazy is on any given night you can not say who the 2nd or 3rd best point producers will be. On any given night it can be Bogi, Hurter, Capela, Hunter or Gallo. I can see the negatives about that but also the positives. Who will the other team key on? Also the bench often outscores the other teams bench/
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D
