Jeff Teague Scores 28: Paul Millsap adds a double-double: Hawks have 16 steals in win over Wizards

Coming into this game 6-5, losing this game would have put the Atlanta Hawks at .500. In the Eastern Conference though you can win about 45 percent of your games and almost to actually get in the playoffs, because of how bad the Eastern Conference is compared to the Western Conference. The Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday Night in spite giving up 102 points, had 16 steals in this game to lead themselves to a 107-102 over the Washington Wizards. Point guard Jeff Teague lead the way with 28 points and 3 assists. Paul Millsap added 17 points and 11 rebounds. Here are the stats for each team.

I loved the fact that the Hawks were playing some good on ball defense, and pecking away at the Wizards by coming up with 16 steals. Jeff Teague didn't shoot good from the field, but he got the job at the free throw line. Paul Millsap is an underrated power forward in the NBA, by me and many others. I'll be honest after only 12 games I feel that my predictions about the Atlanta Hawks were wrong. I'm leaning towards they will make the playoffs now. I thought they'd be bottom 5 in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks do have some good pieces on this team, but sometimes I don't know how good they are. I think it's disrespectful that you don't see Hawks games on TNT, ESPN or ABC much to hardly at all. Thank you for reading Pro Basketball Hoops Land.
