Hawks vs. Nets, NBA playoffs 2015: Time, TV schedule and online streaming

The Hawks took care of business at home in a close Game 5 and now have the chance to wrap up the series with a win in Brooklyn. Few thought the matchup would be so balanced, but there hasn't been much difference between the squads that finished with the best and eighth-best records in the East so far. The Hawks have outscored the Nets by a combined nine points in five games, which means we'll probably have another close one on Friday.

Al Horford had his best game of the series to put his team in control and will be counted on again to lead the way. The Hawks need him to be assertive on offense and hit enough mid-range jumpers to get Brook Lopez out of the paint. If that happens, Jeff Teague and Dennis Schroeder will be able to drive and kick to the Hawks' shooters. When the three-pointers are falling, Atlanta is a different team.

Of course, the Nets know that and have been doing a great job of switching screens to not let Kyle Korver get free often. Lopez has anchored their interior defense, while their streaky, but talented individual scorers have taken turns carrying the offense. Five different players have led Brooklyn in scoring in five games, so the Hawks can't just decide to key in on someone to slow them down.

The Hawks will surely come out looking for blood to seal a matchup against the Wizards in the second round. If the past is any indication, however, the Nets won't be pushed around. If they extend it to a Game 7, anything could happen.
