The Nets (23-15), who are in the midst of their longest winning streak since a 14-game run late in the 2005-06 season, are 9-1 since P.J. Carlesimo took over after Avery Johnson was fired on Dec. 27, with the team 14-14. Brooklyn is averaging 102.9 points under Carlesimo after averaging 94.5 in its first 28 games.
Tuesday's 113-106 win over Toronto marked the sixth time the Nets topped the century mark under Carlesimo, something they did seven times with Johnson at the helm. Brook Lopez had a game-high 22 points while Deron Williams and Johnson each added 21.
Meanwhile, the Hawks (21-16) have won 10 of 12 in the series but have struggled of late, losing six of seven overall. They may have hit rock bottom in a 97-58 loss at Chicago on Monday.
Atlanta scored a franchise-low 20 points in the first half, and only Jeff Teague's layup with 7.9 seconds left prevented the final total from being the team's lowest ever. Mike Scott led the Hawks with 10 off the bench as no starter scored in double figures.
