The Brooklyn Nets faced an 0-2 series deficit against the Atlanta Hawks, essentially making Saturday's Game 3 at home a must-win, and the Nets dug deep for a decisive 18-0 run in the second half that carried them to a 91-83 win.
With many fans still making their way into the arena, the Nets started strong, closing the first quarter on a 9-0 run to seize a 31-16 lead. They borrowed a page from Atlanta's book with good ball movement, but both teams still shot below 40 percent in the first half.
The Hawks fought back to claim a 62-58 lead late in the third quarter, but that's when the hosts reeled off their impressive 18-0 run, holding the Hawks without a field goal for more than eight minutes.
