The Nets increased their lead for the final guaranteed playoff spot in the Eastern Conference by beating the Hawks on Friday night.
— Mikal Bridges remembers when he couldn't even score 30 points in a game.the scoring that seemed lost when they traded Kevin Durant in the deal that brought Bridges to Brooklyn.
Dorrian Finney-Smith added 19 points in his best game with the Nets, who led by only four at halftime before outscoring the Hawks 42-24 in the third quarter to open a 101-79 lead. Brooklyn moved two games ahead of idle Miami for the No. 6 spot with five games to play. "Even though we were losing, we felt like we were coming together as a team," Finney-Smith said."We haven't been in that many battles together, but we're still learning each and other and we're figuring it out."
Dejounte Murray scored 21 points for the Hawks, who had a tough time with New York traffic and perhaps left their legs on the bus. Trae Young had 10 points and six assists, going 3 for 12 and missing all five 3-pointers.
