The Brooklyn Nets are struggling to close games this season, holding the worst clutch win percentage in the NBA at 5-19. Coach Jordi Fernandez noted the team's effort despite a 115-104 loss to the Atlanta Hawks where they blew a seven-point lead in the final minutes.
After leading 104-97 with five minutes remaining, Brooklyn went 0-for-9 from the field and allowed an 18-0 run. Fernandez emphasized the need to learn from these miscues as the team prepares to face the Dallas Mavericks.
