The Atlanta Hawks (13 - 6) defeated the Denver Nuggets (9 - 11) 96 - 84 on Sunday at Philips Arena in Atlanta. The Nuggets had trouble scoring the ball in this one, shooting only 36 percent from the field and a meager 17 percent from the three - point line. The Hawks on the other hand shot 41 percent from the floor and 37 percent beyond the arc. Despite out - rebounding the Hawks 52 - 43, the Nuggets were n't able to overcome their shooting woes and suffered their third straight loss. Atlanta secured their sixth straight win behind Paul Millsap's big game. He went 6 - for - 13 from the field and 4 - for - 5 from the three - point line to score a team - leading 23 points. He also got to the free throw line 10 times, converting on seven of those attempts. He only recorded two rebounds though, which were a season - low for the forward. Kyle Korver was another key piece in this victory. He scored 15 points (6 - 12 FG, 3 - 7 3Pt) and contributed five rebounds in 33 minutes. It was a nice bounce back game for him after scoring only seven points Friday against the Nets. Both DeMarre Carroll and Al Horford pitched in 11 points, while also combining for 17 rebounds. Jeff Teague really struggled with his shot (4 - 13 FG, 1 - 4 3Pt) but still added nine points and a team - high of seven assists. He had combined for 41 points in the previous two games, so he cooled off a bit Sunday. The Nuggets received most of their offensive production from Wilson Chandler, who got off a season - high of 22 shots. He finished the game going 12 - for - 22 from the field and 4 - for - 12 from beyond the arc to score 29 points. He also recorded 10 rebounds, giving him his second double - double in the last three games. He's been on a roll of late, scoring a combined 67 points in the last three games despite only averaging 14 points on the year. Timofey Mozgov notched a double - double of his own, as he finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds. It was his sixth of the season. The only other Denver player to reach double figures in points was Arron Afflalo, who contributed an inefficient 10 points (4 - 14 FG, 2 - 7 3Pt, 0 - 2 FT). In an overall poor team - effort offensively Sunday, Ty Lawson had arguably the worst night of all, going only 1 - for - 10 from the field and 0 - for - 5 from the three - point line. He had four points, but did chip in 10 assists. The Hawks will travel to Indiana on Monday to play the Pacers, while the Nuggets will go on the road to Toronto to play the Raptors on Monday as well.
