Hawks see off Nets in Game 6
Print Edition
THE top-seeded Atlanta Hawks romped past the Brooklyn Nets 111-87 on Friday to punch their ticket to the second round of the NBA playoffs.
The Hawks used a strong start to the second half in New York to turn a slim lead at the interval into a blow-out, completing a 4-2 triumph over the Nets in their best-of-7 Eastern Conference first-round series.
“We believe,” Atlanta forward DeMarre Carroll said. “And we believe that when we are playing the right way, as you’ve seen tonight, we can beat anybody.”
Paul Millsap had 25 points, nine rebounds and six assists, Kyle Korver drained six three-pointers and scored 20 points to go with eight rebounds and Jeff Teague handed out 13 assists for Atlanta, which will face the Washington Wizards in the second round.
Atlanta will host Game 1 against a Wizards team that swept the Toronto Raptors in four games to advance.
The Hawks won three of their four regular-season games against Washington.
Atlanta stretched its six-point halftime lead to as many as 26 with a 23-3 scoring run to start the third quarter.
