Game Recap
CJ McCollum's 25 points and seven assists lifted Atlanta to a commanding 141–107 victory, as the Hawks capitalized on Brooklyn's defensive vulnerabilities to cash a second-half surge. The combined 248 points sailed 21.5 points clear of the 226.5 market total, rewarding an over position that DAGGER's live model ultimately captured after a missed pregame under call.
The first half stayed closer to expectations at 126 combined points, with Atlanta's 35 first-quarter points matching Brooklyn's early pace. A 66-point second quarter—the game's highest-scoring frame—tipped the scales decisively in the Hawks' favor. McCollum was instrumental in that stretch, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 21 points and Jalen Johnson chipped in 18 with 11 rebounds. Brooklyn's Nic Claxton (16 points, 5 rebounds) and Malachi Smith (15 points) kept the Nets afloat early, but the collapse deepened in the second half. The third quarter dipped to 57 combined points, yet Atlanta's 43-point fourth quarter—fueled by McCollum and company—put the game firmly out of reach. Nolan Traore's 13 points and four assists couldn't stem the tide for a Brooklyn team that has allowed 113.3 per game over its last ten outings, a vulnerability the Hawks exploited relentlessly. Atlanta's superior offensive efficiency (122.3 per game recently) proved the decisive factor in a rout that exceeded market expectations by nearly two full possessions per team.
