Nets let another one slip away, fall to Hawks in heartbreaking fashion

The Brooklyn Nets blew a 17-point lead and failed to hold on late, falling 124-121 to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night in Georgia. Brooklyn led for nearly 47 minutes before surrendering their first deficit with just 1:26 remaining in the fourth quarter. The loss dropped head coach Jordi Fernández's squad to a 2-7 record on the season.

Despite the defeat, Day’Ron Sharpe recorded his first career triple-double with 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 13 assists. Mikel Brown Jr. added 18 points, including three clutch fourth-quarter three-pointers, while Nolan Traoré contributed 15 first-half points. However, turnovers proved costly as Brooklyn surrendered the lead late and failed to score after trailing.
