A look at the top performers in the Hawks’ 101-90 win over the Bucks Friday:

Three key players

Jeff Teague: The Hawks point guard struggled with his shooting, six turnovers and foul trouble. However, when the Hawks needed him, Teague responded. He scored 12 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter, including a stretch of eight straight points.

Paul Millsap: The Hawks do-everything power forward had a double-double of 14 points and 13 rebounds. He also added three assists, three blocks and two steals.

Thabo Sefolosha: The Hawks reserve wing had 10 points, seven rebounds, three assists and a steal. His defense on Bucks wings Jabari Parker and Giannis Antetokounmpo earned him more playing time down the stretch.
