The streaking Hawks overcame Kevin Durant's career-high 55 points to hold off the Nets on Saturday night for their fifth consecutive win.
— Kevin Durant earned a new scoring record, though it was Danilo Gallinari and the Atlanta Hawks who celebrated with a postgame toast.
The Nets' second consecutive loss left them locked into the play-in tournament, eliminating their slim hopes of moving up to sixth in the conference. Only minutes before the game, Brooklyn's backcourt depth took another hit when starter Seth Curry was ruled out with a sore left ankle. The Nets also were without starting forward Bruce Brown, who Nash said has the flu.
