Atlanta Rallies to Beat Brooklyn, Claims Fourth Straight Victory

The Atlanta Hawks rallied to defeat the Brooklyn Nets 124-121 on November 7, extending their winning streak to four games. Atlanta, now 7-4, started slowly against the Nets, who had won twice, and trailed 37-27 after the first quarter.

Jalen Johnson led the Hawks with 30 points, seven rebounds and six assists, making 11 of 17 shots. Atlanta steadily cut into the deficit and entered the fourth quarter within three points, but had not led at any point in the game.

With 1:26 remaining and Atlanta down one, Mikel Brown Jr. fouled Nickeil Alexander-Walker. He made both free throws to put the Hawks in front, then scored on a running layup to make it 117-114. Atlanta held on for the win and is set to welcome the Los Angeles Lakers on November 9, 2026.
