Hawks' Paul Millsap: Scores team-high 22 in Sunday's OT win
Millsap scored 22 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 11-11 FT) while adding nine rebounds, two assists and a steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 126-125 overtime win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis:
The Hawks considered sitting Millsap on Sunday to rest his sore knee, but they apparently made the right call in letting him play as he not only scored four points in the extra frame, he drew the foul that caused LeBron James to foul out of the game with 1:52 left on the clock. Atlanta is now one game up on Milwaukee for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, leaving them with tough decisions over their last two regular-season contests whether to sit Millsap.
