SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Jeff Teague scored 24 points to lead the Atlanta Hawks to a 91-84 victory over the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night.

The Hawks moved to 1 ? games behind the Miami Heat for the No. 4 spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Jazz fell two games behind the Houston Rockets for the eighth and final spot in the West.

Teague added six assists, while Paul Millsap finished with 18 points and nine rebounds.

Gordon Hayward led the Jazz with 22 points and Derrick Favors chipped in 16.

The Hawks held the Jazz to just 15 points in the third quarter, a season-low for the period. Tim Hardaway Jr. scored six straight to close the quarter and give the Hawks a 66-57 lead.

The Jazz cut the lead to three in the fourth thanks to nine points from Hayward, but Utah couldn’t get stops down the stretch as Teague made play after play.

The Jazz jumped out to a 35-22 lead early in the second quarter, highlighted by a four-point play by Joe Ingles, but the flow of the game changed immediately afterward.

Utah closed the first quarter on a 8-2 run, but the Hawks rallied with a 19-3 spurt to take a 41-38 lead, including a fast-break alley-oop from Dennis Schroder to Al Horford.

PLEASANT MEMORIES

Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer praised former Hawk Shelvin Mack before the game. He said Mack has a high-level basketball IQ, gets after it defensively, understands team concepts and joked that Mack knows the offense better than himself. “He’s a great addition for Utah and helped us out the last couple years,” Budenholzer said. The coach and president of basketball operations, however, quieted when asked why he traded Mack at the deadline. “Uh, It’s probably better, I would just say I’m happy for Shelvin,” Budenholzer said.

FAMILIAR FACES

Jazz coach Quin Snyder was an assistant under Budenholzer during the 2013-14 season. Atlanta’s Millsap, Kyle Korver and Kris Humphries all played multiple seasons for the Jazz. Burke and Hardaway both played on the Michigan team that advanced to the 2013 NCAA Tournament final.
