Jeff Teague returned from a one-game layoff to record 22 points and six assists and lead visiting Atlanta to its season-high 10th straight win.
DeMarre Carroll also scored 22 points and Paul Millsap added 18 and 10 rebounds for the Hawks, who have also won 10 in a row on the road. Starters Al Horford and Kyle Korver were given the night off to rest as Atlanta played its eighth game in 13 days.

Mike Scott snapped a tie midway through the second quarter with a 3-pointer and added a dunk moments later to spark a 12-0 run for the Hawks. Teague was good from long range in the closing moments of the first half and Millsap had a steal and dunk at the buzzer to put Atlanta up 57-45 at halftime.
Millsap had two free throws and a 3-pointer in a 7-0 burst midway through the third and the margin was 15 entering the fourth. Atlanta went the first three-plus minutes of the final period without a point as Boston crawled to within 89-80, but Millsap threw down a dunk on a feed from Teague and the lead was never single digits again.
