ATLANTA (AP)—Antoine Walker was so off-target that about the only shot he made was the one he was trying to miss intentionally.
Walker made the first of two free throws with 1.1 seconds left to pull Atlanta within two points of New Jersey, but had to miss the second to give the Hawks a chance to tie it off an offensive rebound. But the ball went in and the Nets held off the Hawks on Monday 85-84 to snap a four-game losing streak.
“You can’t miss a free throw too intentionally,” Walker said. “If you do, it’s a violation. You have to miss it a certain way. I tried to make it kick short off the rim, but it went in.”
