Millsap’s 23 points help Hawks hold off Kings 103-97
The Miami Heat (6-4) will try to get back to their winning ways at the AmericanAirlines Arena when they host the improving Sacramento Kings (4-8) at 7:30 pm.
Cousins has already missed four games this season due to an Achilles injury, and the results weren’t pretty for Sacramento. “The rest just came within the flow. I just thought he had a good overall game on both ends of the court”. “We have to trust each other more and to understand that it’s not ‘I have to make the big play, ‘ it’s we have to make this big play”. “He’s got an ability to anticipate really well-knows what’s coming, knows where to put it. The fact that he’s doing it as long as he has speaks to the competitor in him, as well”. Al Horford added 17 points of his own, but the story of night was undoubtedly the play of Dennis Schroder. “It was not one of our better defensive performances of the season, but there was a few better execution of a few of the things we’ve been working on offensively”.
Paul Millsap scored 23 points, including a running one-hander with 15.7 seconds remaining as the Atlanta Hawks held off the Sacramento Kings 103-97 Wednesday night.
Teddy’s NFL Season can only be described as epic, entering Week 11 with a 35-14 (71%) record since the start of the August after yet ANOTHER flawless 4-0 sweep last week.
Erik Spoelstra, the Heat coach, said: “Obviously, they were missing a major piece of what they do”.
Their star center has been having issues with head coach George Karl.
“Once we started getting good possessions on offense, then we got stops because we were able to set our defense and make it tough on them”. Cousins is averaging 27.5 points and 11.1 rebounds per game.
“Something I’ve always said and always talk about, ‘If I’m picking the teams, I’m always going to pick the team with guys on my team that play hard and they give everything, ‘” Holiday said. Cousins and Anthony Davis are two of the better passing bigs in the game. “He’s back to proving that”. When Sacramento opted for the same tactic in the third quarter, Whiteside made all four free throws and the Kings backed off. But Atlanta pulled out the win with a 22-18 fourth quarter burst. Losses look the same in the standings, however.
Both power rotations were turned upside down, the Kings’ before the game, the Heat’s only minutes in.
Kings forward Rudy Gay strained his left shoulder in the third quarter and did not return. Gay was hurt driving to the basket when Winslow took a swipe at the ball.
