Nets 120, Hawks 115

How the game was won: The Nets got 35 points from Deron Williams to defeat the Hawks in overtime in Game 4 Monday night at Barclays Center and even the best-of-seven playoff series 2-2. DeMarre Carroll and Jeff Teague each had 20 points for the Hawks.

Turning point: The Nets started the fourth quarter on an 11-3 run, including three 3-pointers. An Alan Anderson long-range basket with 9:16 remaining tied the game at 85-85 after the Hawks had led by as many as 12 points in the third quarter.

Number: 35. Points for Nets point guard Deron Williams, who had a combined 18 points in the first three games of the series. His circus 3-pointer as the shot clock expired gave the Nets a 102-101 lead with 1:53 left.

Next: The series returns to Atlanta for Game 5 Wednesday night.
