ATLANTA (AP) — Paul Millsap scored 20 points and Al Horford added 19 to lead Eastern Conference-leading Atlanta to a 112-100 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night, extending the Hawks' franchise record with their 16th straight win. The Hawks took their first double-digit lead on Mike Scott's three-point play at the 9:31 mark of the second quarter, and their biggest advantage was 18 on a 3 by Millsap late in the second. Minnesota trimmed the lead to eight several times in the second half before pulling within six on Wiggins' turnaround jumper and Young's putback twice in the closing minutes. [...] DeMarre Carroll and Kyle Korver hit consecutive 3s to push lead back up to 12, and Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders called timeout with 2:08 remaining. Saunders had hoped that G Kevin Martin might be ready to return early Sunday morning, but the 11th-year guard missed his 33rd straight game while recovering from a broken wrist.
