Jefferson Debut & Nets Defense Tested | Atlanta Hawks News

Brooklyn Nets return to Summer League action tonight against the Atlanta Hawks in Las Vegas, with rookie forward Joshua Jefferson set for his pro debut after sitting out the opener. The Hawks, fresh off a balanced, seven-player double-figure scoring win, present a tougher offensive challenge than last night’s defensive-minded Knicks game. Brooklyn’s defense held New York to just 65 points in their opener — they’ll need that same intensity to contain Atlanta’s multiple scorers. With minutes likely managed for development, players like Egor Demin and Mikel Brown Jr. can build on early performances. If the Nets stay disciplined and consistent for 40 minutes, they’re poised to start their Vegas run 2-0. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
