Hawks-Nets Preview

Posted Mar 17 2013 12:29PM

Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Johnson looks set to return for another meeting with his former team.

The Atlanta Hawks just avenged two recent losses and are looking to do the same to Brooklyn.

These teams are in contention for home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, and the Nets can take a key step towards that goal Sunday night if they hand the visiting Hawks a sixth straight road defeat.

Johnson sat out Tuesday's 108-98 home win over New Orleans with a nagging bruised left heel. He returned to practice Thursday and should start Sunday.

Coach P.J. Carlesimo gave his team Wednesday and Friday off with four days between games. The Nets (38-27) leave immediately after this contest to begin an eight-game trip Monday in Detroit.

"The four days are really big not just for Joe but for all our guys," Carlesimo said.

The Nets are in fourth place in the Eastern Conference, one game behind Atlantic Division-leading New York. The Hawks (36-29) are tied for fifth with Chicago and Boston, two games behind Brooklyn.

Johnson is averaging only 13.7 points on 33.3 percent shooting against the Hawks this season, with the Nets taking two of three meetings. The most recent one was Brooklyn's 93-80 road victory last Saturday, as Atlanta matched its fourth-lowest point total of the season.

"We're going to see a totally different Atlanta game I'm sure, I'm afraid, Sunday night than we saw down in Atlanta," Carlesimo said.

The Hawks have won consecutive home games after a three-game slide. They were without Josh Smith and Jeff Teague in Wednesday's 96-92 win over the Lakers and both returned with different results in Friday's 107-94 victory over Phoenix.

Smith had 17 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists after being out with a sprained knee, just missing his fourth career triple-double.

"All I can do is distribute the ball and hopefully they knock the basket down," Smith said. "It's OK. I'll take the win over the triple-double any day."

Teague made 2 of 10 shots for eight points and four assists in 23 minutes off the bench. Former Nets guard Devin Harris has totaled 32 points over two straight starts in place of him.

"We're monitoring it very close," coach Larry Drew said Friday. "I had in my mind kind of the number of minutes I did want to play him (Teague) so I decided to go with Devin."

Atlanta avenged earlier defeats this month to Los Angeles and Phoenix, as they try to gain a season series split with Brooklyn.

How healthy Teague is could help determine this outcome. He had seven points and no assists last weekend against the Nets after averaging 24.5 points and 10.5 assists in two January meetings.

Brooklyn point guard Deron Williams has averaged 24.0 points and 13.0 assists while turning in consecutive double-doubles.

"He's managing the game very well," Carlesimo said. "He's also being a lot more vocal at practices, at timeouts and before and after games. It's a good thing."

Williams has had trouble at times defending Teague, whose career-high 28 points keyed the Hawks' 109-95 victory over the Nets on Jan. 16. Harris is averaging 17.5 points in two 2012-13 starts versus the Nets.

Hawks pull away, keep Nets out of 1st-place tie

NEW YORK (AP) With so much focus on the Nets' division chase, it was easy to forget the Hawks are involved in their own race.

They want home-court advantage in the playoffs and perhaps sent a message to the Nets: Don't worry too much about catching that team ahead of you. Better keep an eye on the one right behind.

Al Horford had 22 points and 11 rebounds, and the Hawks dominated the fourth quarter to beat Brooklyn 105-93 on Sunday night, keeping the Nets from tying for first place in the Atlantic Division.

The Hawks earned a split of the season series, preventing the Nets from clinching a potentially important tiebreaker between teams batting for position in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks moved into sole possession of fifth place and pulled within a game of the Nets for fourth, breaking away from a three-way tie with Chicago and Boston.

"Huge, huge win," Horford said. "Now we're a game behind Brooklyn, so it was a big win for us. We're trying to be in the best possible position for the playoffs. Just a week ago we were in the seventh spot, almost in eighth and now I feel like we're starting to play like a better team. We're close to the fourth spot. Realistically we'd like to go up to the third spot."

Josh Smith added 21 points and seven boards for the Hawks, who won their third straight by outscoring the Nets 34-20 in the final period. Neither team led by more than six points over the first three quarters and the game was tied with under 9 minutes to play before Atlanta broke it open with a 19-6 run.

Reggie Evans had a season-high 14 points and grabbed 22 rebounds for the Nets, who headed out for an eight-game road trip on a disappointing note. A victory would have moved them even with the slumping New York Knicks atop their division.

Deron Williams and former Hawks guard Joe Johnson each added 18 points.

"This was a huge game for us and they played like it was and we really didn't," Williams said. "It's a big missed opportunity, especially with the Knicks losing today."

Williams' basket tied it at 77 with 9:11 remaining in the game, but Jeff Teague had consecutive baskets before finding Ivan Johnson on the break for a three-point play that made it 84-77.

Mirza Teletovic made a 3-pointer, but Atlanta answered with a 12-3 spurt, ending it with eight straight points to push the lead to 96-83 on Horford's jumper with 4:24 to play.

"I think we did a really conscious effort of just pushing the basketball and getting out in the open court and making it easy on ourselves to get some easy baskets," Smith said. "We were kind of grinding them and grinding them, ran them a little bit, got them up and down. We were able to come up with some stops."

Teague came off the bench for the second straight game after missing his first game of the season Wednesday against the Lakers because of a sprained left ankle. He finished with 11 points and 15 assists.

The Nets' road trip, equaling the longest in team history in terms of games, starts Monday in Detroit. They may have another chance to forge the tie with the Knicks, who had a six-game lead in the division after beating the Nets on Dec. 19 but have lost four in a row.

New York plays at Utah on Monday.

The Nets, who lost for the second time in six games, will be making way for a lengthy run of the circus at Barclays Center. They don't play at home again until April 4, with the bulk of the trip a six-game stretch against Western Conference teams.

"The positive thing about it is just knowing that it's the NBA, you've got so many games, so you go win the next one, then you forget all about this one, you know?" Evans said. "But it makes the flight longer, you know what I'm saying? You think about it even more that we should've won the game."

Neither team led by more than four points in the first half. The Nets were ahead 24-21 after one quarter and led most of the second, but the Hawks took a 51-49 lead into halftime after DeShawn Stevenson made a desperation 3-pointer as the shot clock was set to expire with 9.8 seconds remaining before the break.

Notes: Atlanta used the same starting lineup for the second straight game after using a different one in each of the previous 10. The Hawks are the first team since Cleveland in 2010-11 to use a different starting group in each of 10 straight games. ... The game capped a busy week of basketball at Barclays, where the Nets beat New Orleans on Wednesday before Barclays hosted the Atlantic 10 tournament. ... Nets G C.J. Watson hosted nine Brooklyn-area middle school students who won his fourth annual black history essay contest. Watson and his Quiet Storm Foundation also honored the winners during a luncheon Saturday in New York.

Notebook: Hawks 105, Nets 93

Jake Appleman, for NBA.com
Posted Mon Mar 18, 2013 12:25 AM - Updated Mon Mar 18, 2013 12:27 AM

THE FACTS: Josh Smith (21 points, seven rebounds, five assists) and Al Horford (22 points, 11 rebounds) punished the Nets with versatile play, leading the Hawks to a 105-93 victory at Barclays Center. Reggie Evans scored a season-high 14 points and grabbed 22 rebounds in defeat, but no other Nets starter played particularly well. By winning, the Hawks split the season series and moved within one game of the Nets for the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race. The Nets begin a streak of eight consecutive road games on Monday in Detroit.

QUOTABLE: "When you start to look at the standings and the tiebreakers, it all comes into play at the end of the season. It was a big win for us as far as that goes. We are all fighting for position."

-- Hawks forward Kyle Korver

THE STAT: The Hawks hit 14 of their first 18 shots in the fourth quarter.

TURNING POINT: The Hawks' fourth quarter hot streak began with an alley-oop from John Jenkins to Dahntay Jones. On the ensuing Nets possession, Jeff Teague intercepted a poor pass from Keith Bogans. Teague converted the fast-break layup, and the Nets never led again.

QUOTABLE II: "We didn't defend. I don't think we defended for most of the game. We let our leads slip away in the first quarter and the third. We didn't defend Al or Josh very well in the second half."

-- Nets Interim coach P.J. Carlesimo

INSIDE THE ARENA: Actor Ethan Hawke and actress Mariska Hargitay attended the game.

ROOKIE WATCH: Jenkins (seven points, five rebounds) connected on a pair of big shots for the Hawks.

NOTABLE: Evans scored six of the Nets' first eight points en route to his big night. ... The Hawks monopolized the easy conversions, finishing plus-18 on points in the paint and plus-16 on fast-break points. ... Teague had seven assists in the fourth quarter.

UP NEXT: For the Hawks, Monday vs. Dallas, Wednesday vs. Milwaukee, Friday vs. Portland. For the Nets, Monday @ Detroit, Wednesday @ Dallas, Saturday @ L.A. Clippers.
