Bazemore scored a team-high 23 points (8-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with six rebounds and three steals over 27 minutes in Monday’s 109-94 loss to the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers did an excellent job shutting down Paul Millsap, which opened up an opportunity for Bazemore to do what he does best: shoot. It was the first time Bazemore hit five three-pointers in 2016 as he’ll carry a bit of a hot streak into the playoffs. He’s been streaky throughout the season, but could be an X-factor for Atlanta on its quest to return to the Eastern Conference Finals.
