The Atlanta Hawks (58 - 19) throttled the Phoenix Suns (39 - 39), 96 - 69, Tuesday at the Philips Arena to set a new franchise record for wins in a season. After looking a little sluggish in late March, the Hawks have opened April with two blowout victories. The Hawks dominated the glass even without Paul Millsap, out - rebounding the Suns by 17. The Suns struggled across the board on offense with a paltry 31.% field goal percentage. All of Phoenix's starters were held to single digit points and the only Phoenix player to score in double figures was Gerald Green with 15 off the bench. Atlanta completed its first season sweep of Phoenix since the 1991 - 92 season. Phoenix's already dim playoff hopes may have been extinguished Tuesday with a blowout loss. The Suns' starters combined for just 38 points, low - lighted by P.J Tucker's five points on 2 - of - 10 shooting. On the injury front, it was reported earlier Tuesday that point guard Brandon Knight would likely miss the remainder of the season as he continues to be hampered by lingering ankle injuries. The Suns will finish off their back - to - back set Wednesday in Dallas. Atlanta looked dominant throughout Tuesday's contest, holding Phoenix to under 20 points in three quarters and just 26 points in the second half. Mike Muscala got the start for Paul Millsap, who was sidelined with a shoulder injury. Muscala took advantage of the added playing time by putting up 16 points, seven rebounds, and four steals and finished with a plus - 28 +/ - rating. Dennis Schroder returned from a two game absence, but he was capped to just 15 minutes on the floor. The Hawks will head to Brooklyn to take on the Nets on Wednesday, their second matchup in under a week.
