Hawks 96, Nets 91

Paul Millsap scored 19 points, helping the Atlanta Hawks stave off a late rally and beat the Brooklyn Nets 96-91 and take a 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference first-round series.

All Star forward Millsap had his best game since injuring his right shoulder two weeks ago in a win over the Nets.

Games Three and Four are on Saturday and Monday at Brooklyn.
