BOSTON -- When shots werent falling for Atlanta during a woeful start to the second quarter, the Hawks started going inside to Paul Millsap and never stopped. Millsap had season highs with 34 points and 15 rebounds as the Hawks rallied from an 18-point deficit for a 92-91 win over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday afternoon. Jeff Teague scored 16 points and Kyle Korver added 14 for Atlanta. "At the beginning of the game it wasnt really what they were doing. Its what we didnt do. We didnt execute well. We didnt share the basketball like we normally do," said Millsap, who had his best game for the Hawks since signing as a free agent in the off-season. "When we settled down, got stops and moved the basketball around, everybody got in a groove." The Hawks barely made one third of their shots, going 33 for 91, but Millsap was nearly unstoppable inside. He was 12 for 14 from the field and forced his way to the foul line, where he made 10 of 14 free throws. "We were able to find a way to win a game where we werent able to shoot well from the perimeter, from the basket, really from anywhere except for Paul Millsap," Atlanta coach Mike Budenholzer said. Boston pulled away on a 19-4 run to start the second quarter, but Atlanta closed the period on a 15-0 run and set up a back-and-forth finish. "We started off the game so terribly. We just couldnt find any kind of rhythm and they had us totally out of synch," said Korver, who extended his NBA record streak of games with a 3-pointer to 101. "We were dead in the water there for a little while. We just felt like we couldnt get anything going. We got a little momentum and were able to carry that over to the second half." Boston had two shots to win after Shelvin Mack missed a layup in the final minute, but couldnt convert. Jordan Crawford missed with about eight seconds remaining and Boston ended up with the rebound and called time out. Crawford tried again at the buzzer but his shot bounced off the backboard. "I felt like it was a good opportunity. Jordan lives for that," Boston coach Brad Stevens said. "I think hell probably beat himself up over it, but thats OK. We play again on Thursday." Kelly Olynyk scored a career-high 21 points and Kris Humphries had 18 points and 10 rebounds as Bostons reserves scored 56 -- more than half of the teams total. None of Bostons starters scored in double figures. Brandon Bass was closest with nine points and Jared Sullinger pulled down 10 rebounds. The lead went back-and-forth down the stretch until Atlanta clinched it in the final minutes. After Millsap put the Hawks up 90-89, Crawford answered with a long jumper that beat the shot clock and put Boston back up 91-90 with 1:36 left. It was the last field goal of the game. Teague drew a foul with 1:30 left and made both shots and the Hawks held on for the win. The Celtics led 23-20 after the first and opened second on a 19-4 run for a 42-24 lead. Atlanta responded by scoring the last 15 points of the period and then opened the third quarter with a 10-4 run and took a 54-48 lead on a layup by Teague. Olynyk started Boston on a 9-0 run with a 3-pointer, then Crawford converted a three-point play and added a 3-pointer to put the Celtics up 57-54. Korvers streak appeared to be in jeopardy through the third period after he missed his first five attempts from beyond-the-arc. His sixth was good, though, and he drew a foul for a four-point play that pulled the Hawks within 83-76 with 6:10 remaining. "The whole section up there was reminding me I hadnt hit one," Korver said. "I was trying to make shots to make shots, not just to keep the streak going."

Packed park. New managers Coors Field debut. Francis wanted this day to be memorable. So, he made sure it was.Its been a busy and interesting first month of the season for the Toronto Blue Jays. As of Monday, the club is sitting fourth in the American League East with a 13-15 record, and they are currently 4 1/2 games behind the first place New York Yankees. The first 28 games have had plenty of noteworthy happenings, which well take a closer look at now. The Good: Jose Bautista - The Jays right-fielder has shown no signs of slowing down following his monstrous 2010 season. Hes already clubbed nine home runs this year and leads the majors in walks with 30 and on-base percentage (.530). Hes also leading the American League with a .357 average. Ricky Romero – The 26-year-old left-hander has a 2-3 record in six starts, but has pitched better than those totals indicate. In a four-game stretch when he pitched this year, the Jays scored a total of four runs, but run support aside, hes been the staff ace. He has totaled 41 strikeouts in 39.1 innings and has a 3.00 ERA. The Running Game – After being the 28th ranked team in the majors with a total of 58 stolen bases in 2010, manager John Farrell has the team running a lot more often. Through the first 28 games of the season, the Jays are tied for second in the majors for the most stolen bases with 33 - three of which came from Rajai Davis on Sunday. The Bad: Brett Cecil – After leading the team in wins in 2010 with 155, a lot was expected from the 24-year-old, but he couldnt find the lost velocity on his fastball late in the spring and those struggles continued into the regular season where he gave up 16 earned runs over a four-start (21 innings) period before being sent down.dddddddddddd Cecils struggles have continued in Triple-A where hes posted a 1-1 record with a 10.64 ERA. Aaron Hill – Hill, who was coming of a 2010 season that saw him club 26 home runs, while only hitting .205 was looking to get back to his 2009 numbers, only to find his 2011 season appearing to be a continuation of 2010. Before being sidelined with a hamstring injury, Hill was homer-less in 16 games with a .232 average, a .265 on-base percentage and a minute .290 slugging percentage. Travis Snider – Despite being on a five-game hitting streak, the Jays sent Snider down late in April, citing his need to change his swing to what it was a year ago. The 23-year-old played in 25 games, but only hit one home run and posted a .184 average. How long Snider remains down will be determined by how quickly he can respond to the changes the team needs him to make.
