Atlanta suffered its third straight NBA loss on Friday.
Clint Capela’s Hawks lost 120-116 to the Brooklyn Nets, who have won six of their last seven games.
Clint Capela has little to be ashamed of at the end of this match. The Genevan pivot closed this meeting with 15 points and 11 rebounds by signing his 15th double-double of the season, the seventh in the last seven appearances.
The combined absences of Dejounte Murray, John Collins and De’Andre Hunter (injured) were felt in the Hawks home, although Trae Young (33 points, 9 assists) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (31 points) made the difference. Atlanta now has just 50% wins (13-13) this fiscal 2022/23.
Brooklyn, which was playing its seventh straight game at home, is on its side 15 wins from 12 losses. The Nets could count on Kevin Durant (34 points) and Kyrie Irving (33 points, 11 rebounds) to force the decision against the Hawks.
