LONDON -- The Brooklyn Nets should think about making another franchise move -- to London. Vapormax Flyknit Herre Norge . The Nets improved to 3-0 in regular-season NBA games in the British capital with a 127-110 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. Joe Johnson, who spent seven years with the Hawks, led the way for the Nets at the O2 Arena. The Brooklyn guard scored 26 of his game-high 29 points in the first half, and nailed two buzzer-beating 3-pointers. "We just exploited mismatches. I was just feeding off these guys," Johnson said. "We had a lot of ball movement and took a lot of open shots." Three years ago, the then-New Jersey Nets played two regular-season games at the same O2 Arena, located on the banks of the River Thames and the venue used for the gold medal basketball game at the 2012 London Olympics. They beat the Raptors in both those games. Last year, the New York Knicks beat the Detroit Pistons in the third regular-season game to be played in London. Although the crowd seemed to save its loudest cheers for off-the-court action, both teams finished the game with five players scoring in double digits. Andray Blatche added 20 points and 14 rebounds for the Nets, while Paul Pierce contributed 18 points, Alan Anderson 15 and Kevin Garnett 12. "The ball was moving, guys were looking for each other and finding each other," Nets coach Jason Kidd said. "Joe has been off the charts. Not just last few games but the whole season." Mike Scott and Shelvin Mack, both coming off the bench, led the Hawks with 17 points each. Jeff Teague scored 16 points, Paul Millsap had 13 and Pero Antic 11. The Hawks stayed close for the first quarter, but the Nets started to pull away in the second. Anderson started an 8-0 run early in the quarter, with Pierce contributing two layups and Blatche finishing it off with a putback to make it 39-30. "Their size and their length was a problem in a lot of different ways, and rebounding was just one of them," Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. Johnson ended the half with a 3-pointer at the buzzer to make it 65-53. And the Nets pulled further away in the third quarter, with Johnson again finishing it off with a buzzer-beating 3 to make it 99-74. Although his scoring numbers dropped in the second half, Johnson has now scored 20 or more points in four straight games. "Weve got the best seat in the house," Garnett said of watching Johnson put up big numbers. "When youre so used to being in that situation yourself, its great to have a guy who can just take over the game." On the other end, Hawks guard Kyle Korver extended his NBA record to 108 straight games with a 3-pointer. Korver was off-target in the first three quarters and finally sank his eighth attempt from beyond the arc with just over 8 minutes to go, making it 111-81. That was his only basket of the night. "To give him an opportunity to continue something thats very unique and special is important," Budenholzer said. "At some point the streak will come to an end, but it wasnt tonight." Both teams play again on Monday. The Nets visit the New York Knicks while the Hawks host Miami. Besides the game, the fans oftentimes cheered wildly for the entertainment between quarters and timeouts, and for one famous guest. During a break in the third quarter, the face of Beatles great Paul McCartney flashed up on the big screen. As the crowd roared, several kids nearby jumped into the frame to make themselves seen. McCartney, sitting behind the Nets bench, then squirmed his way through the youngsters to gets his face back up on the giant monitor as "Hey Jude" blared inside the venue.

The only contest the Irish have dropped so far is a tight 75-74 loss to Providence back in November. Notre Dame is coming off a 93-67 win over Mount St. Marys. Surprisingly, these two storied programs have only met twice on the court in their all-time series. Florida State owns the 2-0 series lead, which includes a narrow 76-74 victory over the Irish in Tallahassee last season. UCF had a nightmare of a time trying to contain Florida State last Saturday as the Seminoles exploded offensively. FSU connected on 62.1 percent of its shots in the game (41-of-66 from the floor) en route to the 23-point victory. Montay Brandon was stellar in leading the team, netting 23 points with six rebounds to top each category on his squad. Aaron Thomas added 22 points with four assists.

Mount St. Marys didnt stand much of a chance against a very offense-driven Notre Dame squad on Tuesday night. The visitors connected on just 36.8 percent of their shots from the floor in the game, which wasnt nearly enough to keep pace with the Irish. Notre Dame netted 59 percent of their tries from the floor, including 8-of-14 from 3-point range. Zach Auguste, Jerian Grant and Steve Vasturia all netted 19 points to pace the team in the win, while Demetrius Jackson chipped in with 15 points. Auguste grabbed a team-high eight boards in the teams fifth straight victory.

Auguste checks in with 14.1 ppg, Pat Connaughton adds in 13.1 ppg and Jackson contributes 12.8 ppg for the Irish, who are netting 85.1 ppg as a whole.
