ATLANTA — Jamal Crawford and the Atlanta Hawks used one of their best shooting nights of the season to end a four-game losing streak and beat the struggling New Jersey Nets 119-89 on Wednesday night.
Crawford scored 29 points and Joe Johnson added 20 while sitting out the fourth quarter.
The Hawks, coming off their worst offensive performance of the season, set a season high by making 13 3-pointers, including 10 in the first half. They made 57.3 percent of their shots from the field.
The Nets missed their first 11 shots and never led while falling to 1-17 in road games. They have lost 13 of their last 14 overall.

Guard Chris Quinn, acquired by the Nets from Miami on Tuesday, entered the game with 7 minutes remaining and had three points and an assist.
The Hawks avoided their first five-game skid in two years. They recovered from their worst offensive game of the season after being held to season lows in points and field-goal percentage (35.2) in Monday's 92-75 loss to Miami.
