Hawks seek recovery against struggling Nets

The Atlanta Hawks aim to recover from a poor performance against the Los Angeles Clippers as they face the Brooklyn Nets. The Hawks lost 121-98, struggling particularly in the third quarter, where they were outscored 35-8. Atlanta has a record of 32-35, having won 10 of their last 18 games. In contrast, the Nets have lost 10 of their last 11 games, including a close 115-113 defeat to the Boston Celtics. Brooklyn will be without leading scorer Cam Thomas due to a hamstring injury. Nic Claxton returns to the lineup, and Maxwell Lewis, acquired from the Lakers, scored a career-high 15 points in a recent game.
