What happened in the second half?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
As the Hawks battle for a playoff spot, one of the teams they needed to beat to keep out of the race was the New Jersey Nets.
They couldn’t do it.
The Nets now lead the Hawks by a half game for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East.
In case you missed it, the Hawks had 70 points at halftime. Things were looking good when the Hawks went into the locker room. The problems started when they came out.
The Nets were waiting for them. The Hawks looked flat in the third period. It ended up with the Nets outscoring the Hawks 65-47 in the second half to notch the victory.
I guess the old saying is true. You know…the one about “wanting it more.”
I guess the Nets wanted it more.
