Portland, OR (SportsNetwork.com) - Paul Millsap scored 27 points to lead Atlanta to yet another impressive road win. The Hawks had seven players in double figures in their 115-107 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday. Atlanta had been climbing the Eastern Conference standings with a tremendous run starting in late November, and it moved into first place with Toronto losing in Golden State on Friday. Since losing to the Raptors on Nov. 26 to fall to 7-6, the Hawks have won 18 of 20 games, including seven straight on the road against the West. Their six straight road wins overall are the most since 2011. Jeff Teague tallied 22 points and six assists, Kyle Korver made four 3- pointers en route to 14 points and Al Horford and Thabo Sefolosha netted 13 apiece. A lot of different guys played well, said Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer. Thabo coming off the bench was great. Portland got 30 points and 12 rebounds from LaMarcus Aldridge in its first game since Dec. 30. Damian Lillard posted 16 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. I think we could have played better, but you have to credit Atlanta for playing a very efficient game on both ends of the court, Portland coach Terry Stotts said. Four different Hawks scored during a 10-0 run that gave the visitors a 62-51 lead early in the third quarter. Teague polished off a 9-0 burst later in the period, and the spread was 20. Lillard put Portland on his back after that, potting a deep 3 to jumpstart a 14-2 finish to the quarter. He also hit a stepback from 16 feet and beat the buzzer with an off-balance 3 to draw the hosts back within 83-75 after three. But the Hawks didnt succumb to the pressure, answering Portlands flurry with one of their own. An 8-2 run had the lead back to 13 points. It hovered between 15 and eight over the next seven minutes before the Blazers made things interesting with a late push. Trailing 106-91, Lillard hit a layup, Wesley Matthews scored six points in 26 seconds and Aldridge got a tip-in to go. Teague quieted the crowd with a pair of difficult running bank shots. Horford and DeMarre Carroll both missed two straight free throws, but Sefolosha potted four straight to help Atlanta hold on. Earlier, Portland opened the game with eight straight points but Atlanta answered with a prolonged 18-9 run to climb in front. It never trailed the rest of the way.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Tony Stewart does not consider the Daytona 500 a disaster, despite the engine problems that spoiled his return to racing from a broken right leg. The three-time NASCAR champion wound up 35th in the season-opening race, but he logged enough laps during Speedweeks that he feels good going into the upcoming stretch of seven consecutive races. Stewart missed the final 15 races last year after breaking his leg in two places during a sprint car crash in Iowa. His first time back in a race car was Feb. 14, the day before he competed -- and was crashed out of -- the exhibition Sprint Unlimited. He also raced in the Budweiser Duel before the 500, giving him 672 miles of racing in three events. Stewart goes to Sundays race at Phoenix International Raceway "a lot more confident than I was before we got to Daytona." "I think having all the races that we ran, and actually getting in a crash, while not a great thing, allowed me to sort of test my leg and it felt good," Stewart said in a Stewart-Haas Racing team release. "There have been some little things that have felt a little different, but for the most part, its felt like an old pair of tennis shoes that youre just comfortable with. I think the whole time in Daytona exceeded my expectations of what I hoped it would be like." But the 500 itself was a letdown for SHR. Stewart had the engine issue and Danica Patrick was involved in a crash and finished 40th. It left only Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch, the two newcomers to the organization, in contention for a solid finish and both had difficulties at the endd.dddddddddddd Busch wound up 21st and Harvick was involved in the final accident of the race and finished a team-best 13th. Stewart said Sundays race at Phoenix will be a better indicator of where the team is than Daytona, one of only four restrictor-plate races on the schedule. "Daytona and Talladega have always just been two different forms of racing," Stewart said, referring to the necessary teamwork and drafting. "What happens at Phoenix and the races after that has to be done on your own. You cant help each other at Phoenix. You just have to go race." He likes his chances at Phoenix, where he has one win, eight top-fives and 12 top-10s in 23 career starts. Hes completed all but 14 of 7,257 laps on the 1-mile oval. But PIR is also the place that pushed Stewart into becoming a full-time race car driver in 1993. Still working eight-hour days at $5-an-hour at a machine shop in Columbus, Ind., Stewart headed West to run USAC Silver Crown season-opening Copper World Classic. He qualified second to Davey Hamilton, then led 31 of 50 laps before finishing second to Mike Bliss. Stewart earned $3,500 that day -- a payout that convinced him running the Silver Crown, Sprint and Midget races across the nation that year sounded a lot better than returning to the machine shop. He never looked back, learning how to adapt in every kind of car he drove out of "fear that Im going to have to get a real job if Im not successful. "To think that it all kind of started at Phoenix, I guess you could say its the place where my career came full-circle," he said. ' ' '
