It was almost poetic.
Here were the Nets, who trailed by as many as 18 in Sunday’s loss to the Hawks in Atlanta, figuring out how to close games now that their superstars are gone — only for a superstar on the other end to put the nail in the coffin.
After Cam Johnson nailed a three to tie the game at 127 apiece, Hawks star Trae Young drove the lane, pump faked and threw up a floater that left his hands just in time and swished through the net at the buzzer to lift the Hawks to a 129-127 victory in Atlanta.
