Millsap ended the quarter with a bang, swishing a heave from beyond half-court at the buzzer for a 37-20 advantage.
The Hawks opened the third quarter with a 14-5 run, stretching it to 77-48 on Teague's 3-pointer with just under seven minutes left. The Cavaliers clawed within 12 in the fourth quarter but didn't get any closer as Atlanta coasted to the finish.
