ATLANTA, Dec. 13 (UPI) -- Maurice Evans had 22 points and nine rebounds Sunday, leading the Atlanta Hawks to a 130-107 win over the New Jersey Nets.

Atlanta got points from all 11 players who dressed. Marvin Williams did not play because of an upset stomach.

A 31-21 second period gave Atlanta a 62-50 halftime lead, which grew to 101-82 heading into the final 12 minutes.

Joe Johnson scored 21 with 10 assists and four steals, while five others scored in double figures for the Hawks, who have won four in a row.

Devin Harris paced New Jersey with 23 points and nine assists.

Brook Lopez scored 19 with 12 rebounds, and Terrence Williams added 18 points and seven rebounds for the Nets, who have lost 22 of their 24 contests this season.

The Nets shot 50.6 percent from the field.
