Defense was in short supply in the Nets' 116-101 loss to the Hawks. Atlanta shot 60 percent from the floor in what turned into a game without suspense. Brook Lopez had 24 points but only five rebounds (tough to rebound when the opponents make everything). Devin Harris had 18 points and 13 assists, but the Nets simply could not the Hawks from putting the ball in the basket. This was the Nets' fifth straight loss. They get the Mavericks at Dallas on Thursday.
