ATLANTA — Devin Harris scored 33 points, Vince Carter had 29 and the New Jersey Nets beat the Atlanta Hawks 119-107 tonight, completing the sweep of the two-day, home-and-home series.

The Nets lost three straight while Harris was out with a sprained left ankle. He returned Friday night to score 30 points in a 115-108 victory over the Hawks at New Jersey.

Harris, who made 13 of 14 free throws, has three straight games with at least 30 points. He set a career high with 38 points against Detroit on Nov. 7 before the injury.
