Brooklyn Nets: Player grades from scoreapalooza against Hawks

1 of 6

The Brooklyn Nets set a Barclays Center scoring mark in their 144-127 victory over the Atlanta Hawks, the club’s most points in a regulation game since 1982.

The Brooklyn Nets turned up the offensive volume Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks, with the team’s highest-scoring game since moving to the borough in 2012 and the franchise’s highest total in a regulation game in more than 36 years.

The Nets ran the Hawks out of the arena in a 144-127 win that turned into a blowout in the second half after threatening to become one much earlier.

The 144 points exceeded the Nets’ previous high total since the move, which had been 143 points in a Jan. 20, 2017, road victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. Their previous highest total at Barclays Center had been 131 points in a win over the Philadelphia 76ers on March 15, 2016.

More from Nothin' But Nets

The franchise record for a regulation game was set in a 147-132 victory over the Detroit Pistons at Pontiac, Mich., on April 17, 1982.

The Nets had their two highest-scoring halves of the season — scoring 72 in each Sunday — to top their previous high of 71 in the second half against Philadelphia on Nov. 4. Brooklyn had a 70-point first half in their win Friday over the Washington Wizards.

Eight players scored in double-figures for the Nets — a season-high — as they shot better than 50 percent (55.7 percent on 49-of-88 shooting) for the third straight game and fourth time this season.

They are averaging 122.8 points per game over their current five-game winning streak.

All 11 players who were dressed saw action Sunday. Treveon Graham was on the active list, but did not dress as he continues to recover from the left hamstring strain he sustained on Oct. 19.

The inactives included two-way contract holders Theo Pinson and Alan Williams, who were both the the Long Island Nets of the NBA G League, while rookie Dzanan Musa was on assignment to Long Island.

Allen Crabbe (sore right knee) and Caris LeVert (subtalar dislocation of right foot) were also inactive. Crabbe has missed Brooklyn’s last two games, while LeVert has now been out for 17 games.

The Nets (13-18) will make their first national television appearance of the season on Tuesday when they host the Los Angeles Lakers (18-12) in a game that will be aired on NBA TV.
