Hawks' Paul Millsap: Scores team-high 17 in Saturday's win

Millsap scored 17 points (6-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT) while adding four rebounds, four assists and a steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 104-72 win over the 76ers.

Analysis:

The Hawks controlled the game almost from the opening tipoff, and as a result no Atlanta player saw more than 28 minutes on the court as Mike Budenholzer gave his second unit plenty of run. Millsap was still productive despite the slightly reduced workload though, and he continues to carry the scoring load in the Hawks' new frontcourt alongside Dwight Howard. Millsap will go head to head with DeMarcus Cousins in the Hawks' next game, at home Monday against the Kings.
