In a 20 second sequence in Game 4 of the Atlanta Hawks-Brooklyn Nets first-round series, Deron Williams scored more points than he had in his previous two games combined.
The Brooklyn Nets point guard nailed back-to-back threes midway through the fourth quarter, changing the game and giving his team a lead over Atlanta.
Take a look at video of Williams’ sweet stroke below:
After scoring just five points combined in Games 2 and 3, Williams caught fire in Game 4. He scored 13 of the team’s first 19 points in the fourth quarter, helping his team turn an eight-point deficit into a five-point lead with seven minutes left.
Williams was dominant throughout the game, topping 30 points in a contest for just the second time this year.
He also had arguably the best play of the game with his incredible crossover on DeMarre Carroll.
