Brooklyn Nets Down Atlanta Hawks In Summer League Opener

Nets vs Hawks 7-7-17 Score

With Brooklyn Nets head coach Kenny Atkinson making the unconventional decision to coach this year’s Las Vegas Summer League Nets roster himself, spectators of the Nets vs Hawks game got treated to a noticeable amount of effort from the Brooklyn-representing squad to impress Atkinson in the 75-72 Nets victory. Even Archie Goodwin, arguably the Nets’ best performer of the night, admitted in a postgame interview, “[Atkinson and Nets general manager Sean Marks] told me to just be a dog out there defensively.”
