After Mike Budenholzer called a timeout with 3:28 to go in the first quarter of Sunday's NBA All-Star Game in Madison Square Garden, the Eastern Conference/Hawks coach sent out a lineup that was overwhelming Atlanta as reserves Al Horford, Kyle Korver, Paul Millsap and Jeff Teague all took the floor.
The East's leaders proceeded to score 13 straight points, including back-to-back 3-pointers from Korver. Then in the third quarter they were at it again, scoring 20 of the team's 22 points.
Those points proved pivotal as the East, down as many as 20, went into the fourth quarter tied. But with the Hawks on the bench, the East fell 163-158 behind 41 points from MVP Russell Westbrook.
KYLE KORVER
One night after bowing out in the first round of the Three-Point Shootout, Korver wasted little time atoning for that effort. After his consecutive 3s, Korver hit another before missing and he would finish with 21 points off seven treys, one shy of equaling the record eight that Carmelo Anthony hit last season. Korver also added a pair of assist and a rebound. All in a all, it was a very strong debut for the 11-year veteran.
AL HORFORD
The three-time All-Star filled his stat line and had plus/minus of +11, the most of any reserve and Horford trailed only the West's LaMarcus Aldridge (+17) in that department. Horford was 4 of 6 from the field --tying the eight points he had in the 2010 game -- along with seven rebounds and two assists.
JEFF TEAGUE
In a game devoid of defense for three quarters, Teague drove through traffic for an easy layup. The All-Star Game rookie scored six first-half points, but turned it on in the third quarter during that Hawks-fueled run with eight points. He totaled 14 on 6 of 9 shooting and also added two assists, two steals and a rebound.
