The Hawks trailed by as many as 23 points in the third quarter, but a strong performance from their bench and clutch shooting from key players allowed them to take control in the fourth quarter.
Atlanta's Trae Young led the team with 35 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter, while Dejounte Murray added 28 points and 9 assists.

Atlanta's bench outscored Brooklyn's 41-16 in the fourth quarter, with the Hawks scoring 12 of their 18 four-point plays during this time.

"We just believed in each other," Young said after the game. "We knew we could make a comeback, and we played with a lot of heart."
Atlanta's win marked their first in four games, and they improved their record to 35-30 on the season.
