Intro:

Coach and player reaction after Deron Williams scored 35 points as the Brooklyn Nets' beat the Atlanta Hawks 120-115 in overtime on Monday night (27th April) to level their play-off series 2-2.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Deron Williams, Brooklyn Nets guard

"It feels good, it feels great to get the win, that's the most important thing. This was a team win all the way, we fought, we scrapped, we battled, we were down ten going into the fourth and there was never any let up, never any give up."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Al Horford, Atlanta Hawks centre/forward (on Deron Williams):

"Not surprising at all we understand, and we know that Deron's capable of doing that and you can only contain that type of player for so long. He had three not so great games and he came out tonight and he was the difference."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Lionel Hollins, Brooklyn Nets head coach:

"It's very satisfying. The kid (Deron Williams) has overcome a lot of adversity. He's had a lot of adversity with the injuries and with the negativity around his name. For him to come out showed a lot of character, to put on a performance like that especially when we need it, because without that performance I don't know that we get out of here with a win, but I'll take it and I'm excited about it and I'm excited about how the team rallied around him as well. And that's what this is about, and I thought it was a huge, huge step in unity for our ball club."
