Hawks 99, Nets 92

ATLANTA

Kyle Korver scored 21 points, including five 3-pointers, and top-seeded Atlanta held off Brooklyn in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoff series. The Hawks led nearly the entire game and pushed the margin as high as 16 points, but the Nets kept coming back. Finally, Jeff Teague dropped in a floater coming off the left wing, giving Atlanta a 95-89 lead. Joe Johnson missed a 3-pointer from the corner for Brooklyn, and Teague made a pair of free throws with just under a minute remaining to essentially seal it. Teague and DeMarre Carroll scored 17 points apiece. Eighth-seeded Brooklyn finished 22 games behind the Hawks and slipped into the playoffs on the final day. But, with Johnson and Brook Lopez each scoring 17 points, they didn’t look overmatched by a team that won the season series 4-0 and earned a No. 1 seed.
