Nets head down to Mexico on high note
Use strong second half for ‘bounce back’ win over Hawks in Atlanta
This “must-win” mentality is paying dividends for the resilient Brooklyn Nets.
For the second time in their last three games, the Nets entered a contest with a sense of desperation and came out the other side with a much-needed victory.
On Monday night, head coach Kenny Atkinson’s squad rebounded from Saturday’s brutal home loss to Atlanta at Barclays Center by running away from the Hawks in the second half en route to a 110-90 triumph in front of 12,056 fans at Philips Arena.
“It was just a good bounce back,” Atkinson said after his squad blew past the Hawks with a 17-0 run to open the third quarter.
