Atlanta's new frontcourt tandem enabled them to separate from the Wizards with a 33 - point fourth quarter Thursday. Paul Millsap excelled in all facets, totaling 28 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. New center Dwight Howard made a strong first impression with 11 points and 19 boards. Tim Hardaway, Jr. and Thabo Sefolosha made up for a poor offensive showing from starters Kent Bazemore and Kyle Korver, combining for 34 points on 14 - for - 21 shooting. Sefolosha also racked up seven rebounds, five assists and five steals in a stellar performance over 22 minutes. Washington received a 22 - point contribution from their stalwart power forward in Markieff Morris, but the rest of the first unit could n't keep pace. John Wall managed a 12 - point, 10 - assist double - double, but the Wizards shot just 43 percent from the field and 30 percent from three - point range.
