Atlanta Hawks vs Brooklyn Nets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 29, 2025

The market total sat at 228.5, and this matchup threatened to sail over that number from the opening tip. Atlanta's opening salvo of 34 points in the first quarter set a frenetic pace, and Brooklyn answered with 27, combining for 61 in Q1 alone—well above a pro-rata target. The second quarter cooled things slightly to 54 combined points, but the halves remained eerily balanced: 115 combined in the first half left the over/under conversation very much alive heading into the break.

The third quarter proved decisive. Brooklyn leaned into Michael Porter Jr.'s dominance—he finished with 32 points and 9 rebounds—as the Nets outscored Atlanta 32–30 in that frame. Combined, the teams posted 62 points in Q3, the highest-scoring quarter of the night. But Atlanta's depth proved the difference down the stretch. Jalen Johnson added 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker (18 points) and Luke Kennard (17 points) provided secondary scoring that kept the Hawks competitive even as Brooklyn's Cam Thomas and Nic Claxton (18 points, 11 rebounds) fought to keep the Nets close.

The fourth quarter compressed the pace sharply: only 52 combined points fell in that final stanza. Atlanta's 117–112 victory left the combined total at 229, just barely clearing the 228.5 market total. The game delivered an over, but only by the slimmest margin, finishing within a single possession of the number.
