beinsports.com

The Brooklyn Nets pushed their NBA winning streak to 10 games in dramatic style on Wednesday, rallying in the second half then hanging on to edge the Hawks 108-107 in Atlanta.Kyrie Irving scored 15 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter and Kevin Durant added 26 points, 16 rebounds and eight assists for the Nets -- whose winning streak is their longest since the 2005-06 season and the longest in the league this season.The game was just one of the close ones around the league on Wednesday, with Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans beating the Minnesota Timberwolves 119-118 and the Chicago Bulls downing the Milwaukee Bucks 119-113 in overtime.The Sacramento Kings rallied from a 19-point deficit to beat the Denver Nuggets 127-126, while the reigning champion Golden State Warriors had to fight back to beat the Utah Jazz 112-107.In Atlanta, the absence of Hawks leading scorer Trae Young as well as Clint Capela and De'Andre Hunter didn't stop the hosts from taking a 63-56 halftime lead.But the Nets clawed their way back in the third period and Irving scored eight straight points with a layup and two three-pointers to push the Nets' lead to 93-82 early in the fourth.He then fed Yuta Watanabe for a floater that gave the Nets a 13-point lead with 8:40 remaining.The Hawks, led by Dejounte Murray's 24 points, responded and knotted the score at 104-104 with 1:48 to go.Durant made a pair of baskets sandwiched around one for Atlanta's John Collins and the Nets escaped with the win."Sounds pretty good," Durant said of the 10-game streak, noting the struggles the Nets have endured for a couple of years -- including this season's slow start, the sacking of coach Steve Nash and the anti-Semitism row that engulfed Irving."It's good
