Paul Millsap had five points and five rebounds as the Hawks forward participated in his fourth straight NBA All-Star Game Sunday night.

Millsap was 2 of 4 from the floor, including 1 of 3 from 3-point range. He added three assists and a steal in his 13 minutes for the East.

The West won the game, 192-182, in New Orleans. The Pelicans’ Anthony Davis led all scorers with 52 points for the West.

Millsap was named an Eastern Conference reserve and was the Hawks lone representative for the exhibition. In his four appearances, all with the Hawks, Millsap has totaled 19 points, 17 rebounds, seven assists and three steals.

The All-Star break continues for the Hawks until they returned to practice on Wednesday. Millsap does not have to report back until Thursday as a participant in the All-Star Game. The Hawks host the Heat on Friday to open the second-half of the season.
