NBA PLAYOFFS Millsap scores 19, Hawks hold off Nets Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Apr. 23, 2015 at 2:00 AM By The Associated Press Posted Apr. 23, 2015 at 2:00 AM » Social News ATLANTA — Paul Millsap answered all those questions about his shoulder. Al Horford didn't let a dislocated finger slow him down. As for the Hawks, they've yet to show the form that carried them to the top of the Eastern Conference. No. 1-seeded Atlanta again survived a tougher-than-expected test from the Brooklyn Nets, holding on for a 96-91 victory and a 2-0 lead in their playoff series Wednesday night. "We're kind of playing on the edge right now," Horford said. Millsap, who missed five games near the end of the season with a sprained right shoulder, ditched a pad that he felt restricted his shooting motion. He responded by hitting 7 of 11 shots and finished with 19 points. Horford also looked fine, scoring 14 points while leading the Hawks with 13 rebounds and seven assists. He did it all with his right hand taped, after dislocating his pinky finger in Game 1. "Once the game started, I was good," Horford said. Kyle Korver chipped in with 17 points, knocking down three shots beyond the arc. But overall, the Hawks made only 39 percent from the field. "We feel fortunate that we made just enough plays, just enough stops," said Atlanta's Mike Budenholzer, recognized before the game for winning the NBA Coach of the Year award. Squandering an early 12-point lead, the Hawks spent much of the game struggling to put away the No. 8 seed. It went down to the wire. Deron Williams missed an open 15-foot jumper that would've tied it with about 10 seconds to go. Korver rebounded, was fouled and made two free throws to clinch Atlanta's win. The best-of-seven series shifts to Brooklyn for the next two contests. Game 3 is Saturday. Jarrett Jack led the Nets with 23 points off the bench, and Brook Lopez had 20. "All is not lost," Jack said. "Our confidence is high." SPURS 111, CLIPPERS 107 : At Los Angeles, Tim Duncan scored 28 points, Kawhi Leonard added 23 and the defending champion San Antonio Spurs beat the Los Angeles Clippers in overtime, tying their Western Conference playoff series at 1-1. The Spurs blew 10-point leads in the third and fourth quarters, and got into overtime on a pair of free throws by Patty Mills with 8 seconds left in regulation. Duncan scored four straight points in the extra session while playing with five fouls. His jumper snapped a 101-all tie, Mills followed with a fast-break driving layup off Leonard's long pass and Leonard scored on a layup for a 107-101 lead with 56 seconds left. Mills finished with 18 points off the bench and Boris Diaw had 12. Blake Griffin had his first career playoff triple-double of 29 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, but a couple of key late turnovers.
