Joe Johnson leads Brooklyn Nets to win

A strong second half helped the Brooklyn Nets to a 91-86 win over the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA.

Paul Millsap and Jeff Teague led a dominant second quarter for the visitors, ensuring that they led by six points at the break.

However, Joe Johnson got the Nets back into the game against his former team, matching his season high of 23 points.

The hosts were without Deron Williams through injury, but Alan Anderson came in in his place to score 14.

The result leaves Brooklyn unbeaten in 2014, while the teams will meet again next Thursday.
