Hawks Snap Losing Skid, Top Sixers 127-106

ATLANTA (AP) — Paul Millsap scored 21 points, Jeff Teague added 18 and the Atlanta Hawks snapped a three-game skid with a 127-106 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.

The Hawks had lost 11 of 18 after starting the season 7-1, but they never trailed against the woeful Sixers, who dropped to 0-16 on the road, 1-26 overall.

Isaiah Canaan finished with a season-high 24 points and Jahlil Okafor had 19 for Philadelphia.

During their recent slump, the Hawks struggled with field-goal accuracy, particularly in the last three games, but they hit a season-high 61.5 percent behind Millsap's 7-for-8 performance.
