In 37 minutes of play, Millsap finished with 26 points on (9-20) shooting from the field with 6 rebounds and 5 assist. Kyle Korver provided the spark off the bench that the Hawks needed to walk away with a victory. Korver finished the night with 22 points.

The Detroit Pistons defeated the Hawks earlier this season on December 2nd (121-85) but the Pistons didn’t have that same magic on the court Friday December 30th.
