Nets bid for back-to-back wins rims out
Lin Misfires on Potential Tying Shot as Brooklyn Flames Out in Atlanta
The Nets’ ongoing quest for their first back-to-back wins in nearly a year will continue despite the best efforts of Jeremy Lin.
Brooklyn’s $36 million point guard nearly helped the Nets erase a late deficit before they came up just short in a 105-100 loss to the Hawks in front of 11,391 fans at Atlanta’s Philips Arena.
Lin drained a 3-pointer with 13 seconds remaining in regulation to pull the league-worst Nets (11-52) within one point at 106-105.
