It's not rocket science seeing when Atlanta is doing what they do Jeff Teague is right in the middle of it. His team-high 26 points and eight helpers and staying "Aggressive" all game long helped the Hawks overcome big games from Beal and Pierce. Not to mention both Paul Milsap's 19 points (16 pts 1st half) and Al Horford's double-double of 18 points and ten boards helped the Hawks and Teague's cause immensely.
Washington had a chance late with the score 104-101 Atlanta as Paul Pierce got a clean look from about 25 feet and missed one finally. Nene and Marcin Gorat who were huge in game 3 was not in game 4 combining for 15 points and fifteen boards as Gortat was saddled with foul trouble throughout.
Dennis Schroder again was huge for Atlanta netting another 18 points as he mirrors game three's point total. Hawks lead man Mike Budenholzer plan of using both Schroder and Teague at the same time gave two Hawks in the pick and roll who could get their own posing issues for the Wizards "D" down the stretch.
Hawks now get the pivotal game 5 in the new Omni dba Philip Arena on Wednesday Night May 13 back in A.T.L...
