The Atlanta Hawks (10 - 6) defeated the Boston Celtics (4 - 11) 109 - 105 Tuesday at Philips Arena in Atlanta. The Celtics had a big first half, out - scoring the Hawks 66 - 50, but were unable to keep their momentum going into the third quarter, and allowed the Hawks to come all the way back and take the victory. Despite being out - rebounded 42 - 31, the Hawks were still able to force the Celtics into 23 turnovers, giving them enough of an advantage to grab a four - point victory. Kyle Korver was almost impossible to stop in this one. He shot a ridiculous 8 - for - 9 from the floor and 6 - for - 7 from beyond the arc to finish with a team - high of 24 points. Considering he's averaging 13 points on the year, it was a nice surprise for the Hawks to get some extra offensive production out of Korver. Paul Millsap played a big role in the win as well, as he recorded 19 points, six rebounds and seven assists. The seven assists were a season - high for Millsap, as he came into this game averaging just 3. Al Horford was the other starter for the Hawks to reach double - digit points. He finished with 16 points and six rebounds. Horford's scoring average is way down from the last two seasons, but this game offered a step in the right direction, and will hopefully give him some confidence for the future. Despite the loss, Jeff Green had a solid offensive outing. He shot 10 - for - 16 from the field and 1 - for - 3 from the three - point line to score 25 points in 35 minutes. Green has really struggled from the three - point line in the past two weeks, but has still been able to keep his season scoring average at 18 points per game. Jared Sullinger had an efficient game. He scored 22 points (9 - 16 FG, 4 - 7 3Pt) and grabbed nine rebounds in 29 minutes. After struggling against the Spurs on Sunday, it was a nice confidence builder for Sullinger. Rajon Rondo struggled with his shot all night and finished with only two points. He did all of the other things right though and contributed a ridiculous 19 assists and 12 rebounds. The 19 assists and 12 rebounds were both season - highs for Rondo. The Celtics' next game will at home against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, while the Hawks will travel to Miami to play the Heat on Wednesday.
