The Brooklyn Nets look to keep the pressure on the top-seeded Atlanta Hawks when the two teams meet Monday night for Game 4 of their first round series. The Nets currently trail in the series, 2-1, but are coming off a comeback 91-83 victory in Game 3 and could make things interesting by earning another win at the Barclays Center.

Brooklyn used a huge 18-0 run in the second half to rally and beat Atlanta on Saturday night, turning the tide in a series that had been going the Hawks’ way. Now the Nets have a chance to tie things up in Game 4, which would surely notch up the urgency for an Atlanta team that won 60 games during the regular season.
The Nets actually didn't play well offensively in their big win, shooting 39 percent from the floor with 15 turnovers. The team held the Hawks to 36 percent shooting, however, and finally found a way to neutralize Kyle Korver, who went 0-of-5 from three-point range after a solid start to the series.
Three players recorded double-doubles for Brooklyn, on the other hand, led by Brook Lopez with 22 points and 13 rebounds. Thaddeus Young (18 points, 11 rebounds) and former Hawks star Joe Johnson (16 points, 10 rebounds) also played well.
Point guard seems to be the Nets' biggest issue, despite the presence of former All-Star Deron Williams. The 30-year-old has averaged six points per game on 27 percent shooting in the series, and probably deserves to get benched in favor of Jarrett Jack at this point.
