Paul Millsap was quite occupied on Monday in Madison Square Garden as he did all he could do to contain Carmelo Anthony.
Anthony somewhat had his way with 25 points (albeit on 25 shots), along with nine rebounds and seven assists. Millsap recorded 19 points, four rebounds (including a critical offensive rebound late in the fourth quarter that helped seal the game) and three steals. It was good enough to help the Atlanta Hawks come up with a hard-fought 91-85 victory while sending the New York Knicks to their fifth consecutive loss.
After the contest, Millsap decided to talk some trash about the win:
Road kill!!! Good win tonight!!! #ATLHawks

Well that’s not nice, but he’s entitled to share his thoughts after a solid win on the road.
After averaging 17.9 points on 46.1 percent shooting last year, Millsap has struggled out of the gates this season, averaging 13.4 points on just 38.7 percent shooting.
