Hawks' Paul Millsap: Keys OT victory with clutch shooting

Millsap collected 21 points (4-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 12-12 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, four blocks and two steals over 41 minutes in Monday's 109-104 overtime victory over the Trail Blazers.

Analysis:

The veteran forward's contested floater at the buzzer sent the game into overtime, and his two free throws with five seconds remaining in the extra period gave the Hawks some much-needed breathing room at 107-104. It was Millsap's third straight game of over 20 points, and fourth in the last five contests overall. Outside of a nine-point effort in a blowout loss to the Heat to start February, the 11-year veteran is enjoying another solid month, averaging 18.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.3 steals across 33.6 minutes.
