The Nets were at their best when it mattered most.

They twice executed to perfection on offense in crunch time during their 114-113 win over the Hawks on Wednesday night.

Trailing 110-109, they ran a flawless inbounds play as Spencer Dinwiddie dished to Mikal Bridges for a layup, putting them up 111-110 with 32.8 seconds left.

Trailing again 113-112 a few moments later after a Trae Young 3-pointer, head coach Jacque Vaughn opted not to call a timeout to avoid letting the Hawks set their defense.

Bridges subsequently drilled a go-ahead jumper with 5 seconds left.

Vaughn praised his team’s late-game performance afterward.

“I think our composure, if I could pick a word that kind of frames it for us,” Vaughn said. “Whether it was executing out of bounds underneath and we get a layup, whether that is getting a rebound, whether that is our defense being locked in to keeping the body in front of a body, whether that is Mikal flowing in transition where we don’t call the timeout and he gets to his spot and makes a shot. So across the board, a lot of growth and composure from this group. … Awesome.”

Vaughn deserves some credit himself, designing the inbounds play.

“That was a draw-up from the timeout that we had that they executed, which was great. And then — which is awesome — the practice the other day was about end-of-the-game execution, and for us to get in this position and be in it is pretty awesome. And I always explain to the guys why I do a draw-up, or why the decision-making is behind what I do.”

The Nets and Hawks have grown accustomed to razor-thin margins when facing each other.

Each of their past seven matchups have been decided by single digits, and the past four have been decided by two points or fewer.

“Always with these dudes,” Vaughn said. “Like, going back. Are you kidding me? Right? Really, I was telling myself, ‘We’re gonna get this one.’ I can literally remember saying to myself, ‘We’re going to get this one.’ ”

Cam Johnson has been red-hot his past seven games, averaging 16.6 points and 6.7 rebounds per game during that stretch on 51 percent shooting from the field and 43 percent from 3-point range.
