Regular Season Round 50: Houston R. - Atlanta H. 97-104
Date: December 20, 2014
Kyle Korver drilled a dagger 3-pointer in the middle of a critical late-game run to lift the Atlanta Hawks to a 104-97 win over the Houston Rockets on Saturday night at Toyota Center. Having blown what was a 16-point lead, the Hawks (19-7) snapped a 90-90 deadlock with a 7-0 run down the stretch. Korver followed a layup by forward Paul Millsap with his trey at the 1:29 mark of the fourth quarter as Atlanta snapped the Rockets' 19-game home winning streak against Eastern Conference opponents. Korver finished with a game-high 20 points and shot 4-for-8 from deep. Millsap and Hawks center Al Horford scored 14 points apiece and combined for 14 rebounds and eight assists. Atlanta has won 12 of 13 games, its lone loss coming at the buzzer against the Orlando Magic. Rockets center Dwight Howard (19 points, 11 rebounds) and guard James Harden (18 points, a season-high 14 assists) recorded double-doubles for the Rockets (19-7), who dropped consecutive games for just the second time this season. The Hawks carried over their scorching offensive performance from Wednesday night in Cleveland to the opening quarter against the Rockets, shooting a blistering 60.9 percent from the floor in building a 32-26 lead entering the second. Their offense was built on exceptional execution in the half court and transition prowess, with Atlanta scoring half of its points in the period in the paint, including six on fast breaks. The Rockets failed to stem the Hawks' tide in the second, as Atlanta built its lead to 16 points on a layup by guard Dennis Schroder with 4:37 remaining in the half. Houston flashed a response with a trio of 3-pointers that helped cut the deficit to 52-40 at the break before opening the third quarter with nine consecutive points to stagger the Hawks. But after Atlanta resumed scoring with ease, the Rockets needed a measure of controversy to finally fully engage themselves in the game. A questionable technical foul on Harden led to a free throw from Hawks guard Shelvin Mack that built the Atlanta lead to 70-61 with 2:58 left in the period. Houston closed the period with a 13-4 run, including three consecutive 3s, pulling even at 74-74 to open the fourth. Courtesy of: wptz.com
