Paul Millsap nearly added the perfect ending to a great night. Having already scored 28 points and needing two more to eke out a win on the game’s final play, Millsap darted along the baseline around an Al Horford screen, caught the entry pass, and took one sharp step to his right – a crossover dribble that sent the help defender tumbling harmlessly aside.
Millsap rose and fired, but the shot rimmed out. Seconds later, Elijah Millsap, his younger brother by two years and a swingman on the Utah Jazz, hugged him on the court.
