ATLANTA (AP) – There’s nothing to indicate the Atlanta Hawks will have any trouble with the Brooklyn Nets in the opening round of the NBA playoffs.
The Hawks won all four regular-season meetings by an average of 17 points. They finished a whopping 22 games ahead of the Nets in the Eastern Conference standings.
But top-seeded Atlanta knows from experience that a No. 8 seed can cause problems.
A year ago, the Hawks were in that same position when they took on the Indiana Pacers. Atlanta won twice in Indianapolis, had a chance to wrap up the series at home, and wound up losing in a seven-game thriller.
Now, the Hawks have a target on their backs after setting a franchise record for wins and earning their first No. 1 seed since 1994.
