Atlanta Hawks lead man Mike Budenholzer a longtime Spurs Assistant knew his team had to come out crisp and fast from the jump. They didn't and paid dearly for it as the "Champs" in "Fight for Larry" Mode playing "Spur Wars" gives the Highlight Factory some Low Light Sunday Business!

Spurs leading 59-41 at the break pushed that lead to upwards of 25 points 68-43 with just under nine minutes remaining in the 3rd. Atlanta made a little run but still trailed after three frames 83-65. The Spurs were led by after three by Kawhi Leonard's 17 points and Tiaggo Splitter's 21 points...yes "Split" doing work!

The Spurs were never threatened winning going away 114-95. "Split" led the Spurs with a game-high 23 points and eight boards as he has come full circle. Leonard added 20 points , ten boards, and seven helpers with both Boris Diaw and Marco Belinelli combining for 30 points off he bench.

That Spurs "O" was in "Winning Time" Form as the Hawks shoot the winning formula of 5-% FG 50% 3 pt FG 80% FT but just trailed all game long "big" as those numbers at times can be misleading. Paul Milsap led with 22 points and seven boards with Dennis Schroder off the bench adding 18 points.

Spurs move to 44-25 the #6 seed just two games back of the #3 seed Rockets. The Hawks on their first three-game skid of the 2014-15 season is eight games up on the #2 Cavs but be careful Atlanta!
