Heading into Monday’s game, Kris Humphries had played 20+ minutes in a game only once since the beginning of November. Luckily for Atlanta, Humphries - a consummate veteran - takes pride in his work ethic and his ability to stay prepared. For a Hawks team that’s sought consistency this season, one constant throughout is Humphries’ uncanny ability to stay engaged and ready for action.
In a game that saw the Hawks without Dwight Howard and Mike Muscala from the tip, Humphries took advantage of his opportunity. He scored 14 points and grabbed seven rebounds in 24 minutes of action.
