Hawks 114, Nets 111

How the game was won: Al Horford dunked after taking a pass from Kyle Korver, on a roll to the basket with 19.1 seconds left. The Hawks survived a pair of late shots by the Nets' Jarrett Jack and Bojan Bogdanovic before Jeff Teague got the rebounds and made two free throws with 2.7 seconds left. Horford led the Hawks with 24 points as they completed a season sweep of the Nets.

Turning point: The Nets went on a 16-3 fourth-quarter run to turn a double-digit deficit into a one-point lead on a Joe Johnson basket with 3:37 remaining. It was the Nets first lead of the game and set up the final dramatics.

Number: 1,719. Career 3-pointers for Kyle Korver, tying Dale Ellis for 11th in NBA history.

Next: The Hawks host the Hornets Friday night.
