Player of the Game

[ATL Boy]

Great comeback on MLK day, hard fought win.

Josh Smith (7)
Al Horford (6)
Zaza Pachulia (2)
Kyle Korver (2)
Devin Harris (2)
Jeff Teague (1)

Notes: Al Horford was a beast tonight, he did what he want against the outmatched Minnesota bigs: Horford finished with a season high 28 points on 12-20 shooting and completed the double double with 10 rebounds, his 5th straight game with double digit rebounds, good to see Al playing like this;
Jannero Pargo was Lou Williams 2.0 in the 4th quarter: We signed him to a 10 day contract this morning and he payed dividends for us today: He had 16 points (14 in the 4th) on 6-11 shooting and 4-6 shooting from 3, when we were down in the 4th quarter he shot us back in it. Jannero is not afraid to take the big shot;
Jeff Teague had an underwhelming game scoring wise only scoring 9 points on 2-7 shooting but he's on this list because of his assists: he had 10 dimes in this one, I don't mind if Teague has a bad shooting night (especially if he only shoots 7 times), with him I wanna see assists and he's gone a great job distributing the past few games: getting double digit assists in 3 straight games;
Kyle Korver along with Al Horford helped get us back in the game in that 3rd quarter, he shot 5-8 from the field and 3-6 from 3 point land to record 14 points. He's hit a 3 in 35 straight games, the longest active streak in the NBA (Steph Curry is 2nd with 28)

Didn't realize Teague had so many games in a row with double-digit assists.

Great game by AL. Playing the way a big man should. He recovered from a poor shooting 1st quarter to put up some big time numbers. Carrying the load like an All-Star should.

Michael Scott earned him some extra playing time this week.

Korver has made me a believer. He's not nearly as one-dimensional as I used to think he was.

KUDOS to Larry Drew for some creative lineup tinkering in the 2nd half. He's gonna make some other team real happy next season.
