Johnson, Nets throttle Hawks in London
Print Edition
The Brooklyn Nets should think about making another franchise move — to London.
The Nets improved to 3-0 in regular-season NBA games in the British capital with a 127-110 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday.
Joe Johnson, who spent seven years with the Hawks, led the way for the Nets. The Brooklyn guard scored 26 of his game-high 29 points in the first half, and nailed two buzzer-beating 3-pointers.
“We just exploited mismatches. I was just feeding off these guys,” Johnson said. “We had a lot of ball movement and took a lot of open shots.”
Three years ago, the then-New Jersey Nets played two regular-season games at the same O2 Arena. They beat the Raptors in both those games.
Last year, the New York Knicks beat the Detroit Pistons in the third regular-season game to be played in London.
Although the crowd seemed to save its loudest cheers for off-the-court action, both teams finished with five players scoring in double digits.
Andray Blatche added 20 points and 14 rebounds for the Nets, while Paul Pierce contributed 18 points, Alan Anderson 15 and Kevin Garnett 12.
“The ball was moving, guys were looking for each other and finding each other,” Nets coach Jason Kidd said. “Joe has been off the charts. Not just last few games but the whole season.”
In other games, it was: Thunder 104, Rockets 92; and Pacers 117, Knicks 89;
In Houston, Oklahoma City surged in the third quarter to overcome a double-digit deficit and beat Houston, closing within half a game of the NBA Northwest Division lead.
Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant scored 36 points.
