Hits five threes Mills amassed 22 points (8-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 30 minutes during Thursday's 117-103 loss to the Wizards.
Impact Mills emerged from a miniature slump, as he hadn't shot over 50 percent from the field in nearly a month. Still hitting threes over that stretch, even his 37.8 clip marked a regression from his 41.9 percent average on the season. The only starter to exceed 12 points, Mills enters the All-Star break on a personal high note. He'll look to carry his momentum from Thursday into the Three-Point contest on Saturday.

Impact Mills came up big down the stretch, knocking down half of his three-point makes in the final 10 minutes of the contest. However, the barrage from deep was not enough to prevent Brooklyn from taking its fourth straight loss. Mills has scored over 20 points in three of his past four contests and is averaging 20.3 points, 3.3 assists, 2.5 boards and an impressive 4.5 three-pointers over that span.
