The Atlanta Nets and Hawks took part in an offensive festival and the Brooklyn team had the final say to win 145-141 on Wednesday.

The two teams left their respective defense in the locker room for this meeting which totaled 286 points. The tone was set in the first quarter, when the Hawks were in control 41-38 after just 12 minutes of play.

The Nets took off late in the final quarter to hand the Hawks a first loss this season in their fourth game.

Kevin Durant has shown once again that he is fully recovered after missing the entire last campaign. He finished with 33 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists to be the Nets’ most productive player.

His teammate Kyrie Irving had 25 points, while Jarrett Allen had a brace with 15 points and 13 rebounds for Steve Nash’s squad.

In the Hawks, Trae Young stood out with 30 points and 11 rebounds, while John Collins also amassed 30 points with 10 rebounds on his side.

The Heat do it again at the Bucks

The Miami Heat once again had the best of the Milwaukee Bucks as the NBA finalists won 119-108.

The Florida troops had eliminated the Bucks in the Orlando bubble. Milwaukee does not have the expected start to the season with a third loss in their first five games.

It’s hard to fault Giannis Antetokounmpo for anything, as the Bucks star scored a hat-trick with 26 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. He was the only one to get 20 points in his team, while Donte DiVincenzo followed with 15.

The Heat completely dominated the fourth quarter with a harvest of 31 points against 17.

Bam Adebayo stood out with 22 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists, while Tyler Herro had 21 points and 15 rebounds.

The Heat were deprived of the services of Jimmy Butler who is annoyed by an ankle injury.
