NEW YORK — Sometimes it’s about finding a way to win.
The Nets aren’t in it for style points — at least not yet. They want to keep piling more wins than losses. That’s the name of the game.
Friday’s 120-116 victory over the Atlanta Hawks wasn’t pretty. The Nets were without starting center Nic Claxton (right hamstring tightness) and reserve forward Yuta Watanabe (right hamstring strain). Ben Simmons played on a minutes restriction in his first game back after missing four straight with a calf strain, and the Hawks entered the night a desperate team, losers of six of their last nine games.
