Hawks' Kyle Korver: Tallies preseason highs across stat sheet Thursday

Korver collected 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt), six assists, four rebounds and a block over 30 minutes in Thursday's 97-81 preseason victory over the Bulls.

Analysis:

The Hawks have to hope Korver can carry over his red-hot shooting into the regular season after he managed a 60 percent success rate (12-for-20) from the field over his last three exhibitions, at tally that also saw him drain nine of his 17 three-point attempts over that span. Thursday's performance produced preseason highs across the stat sheet for the 14-year veteran, who heads into the season looking to improve on the 9.2 points per game he averaged in 2015-16, his worst figure in that category during his four Hawks campaigns.
