The Nets led 104-97 with 5:19 remaining but could not stop the Hawks, shooting 0-for-9 from the field during the decisive stretch. Head coach Jordi Fernandez noted the team played the right way but struggled to get stops when it mattered most.
This loss highlights the team's worst clutch record (5-19) in the league this season. Despite the frustration, the staff remains focused on development as they prepare to face the Dallas Mavericks.
