Why Hawks’ Jalen Johnson was feeling his shot in huge win over Nets

Jalen Johnson returned from a three-game injury absence to score a game-high 30 points, leading the Atlanta Hawks to a 124-121 comeback win over the Brooklyn Nets. Despite shooting 0-for-5 from three-point range, Johnson credited trusting his mid-range shot, attacking the rim, and relying on his teammates to generate scoring opportunities.

Atlanta overcame an early 17-point deficit after conceding 70 first-half points, tightening up defensively to limit Brooklyn to 51 in the second half. Aaron Wiggins provided 20 points off the bench, including 12 in the fourth quarter, while head coach Quin Snyder praised Johnson's off-ball movement and aggressive decision-making.
