Al Horford and Paul Millsap each scored 18 points, Kyle Korver added 14 and the Atlanta Hawks used a blistering third quarter to rout the Indiana Pacers, 104-75, on Sunday in Atlanta.

The Hawks, who have won five of six to move into a virtual tie for fifth in the Eastern Conference, went on a 20-0 run and made seven three-pointers in the third period, the last coming by reserve forward Kris Humphries to make it a 34-point lead. Atlanta has won five of its last six.

Indiana rookie Myles Turner, who scored a team-high 19 points, was the only starter for either team to play in the fourth quarter. All-Star starting forward Paul George finished with just seven points for the Pacers, almost 19 below his team-leading average, on three-for-15 shooting.
