3. Jeff Teague 02/01/2016 vs. Dallas Mavericks

It was a clear black night, a clear white moon, Teague was on the court, trying to consume. The Mavericks did not have an answer for Jeff Teague, in a game that the Hawks won 112-97. He scored 32 points, had five rebounds, eight assists, and one steal for one of his more impressive outings of the season. He also shot 12-for-15 from the field and 5-for-6 from three-point range, to help the Hawks improve to 28-22 on the season.

Jeff was able to lead all scorers and run circles around a hapless and helpless group of Maverick defenders. He had his crossover dribble working all night, freezing and fooling his opponents, before getting to where he wanted on the floor. He also held Dallas starting point guard Deron Williams scoreless, who had 0 points on 0-for-5 shooting. Jeff had some exhilarating moments as an Atlanta Hawk, and this was a game where he did not disappoint.
