ATLANTA (AP) – Russell Westbrook let out an emphatic scream at the top of the key, surely believing his fourth-quarter outburst would carry the Oklahoma City Thunder to another victory.

Not so fast.

Jeff Teague brought the Atlanta Hawks back, just when it looked as though they had let one slip away.

Teague scored 25 points and made all the big shots down the stretch, sending the Hawks to a 106-100 victory that snapped Oklahoma City’s four-game winning streak Monday night.

“We know he’s capable of getting really hot,” Teague said of Westbrook. “We just tried to do our best to make it tough for him, make him try to make tough 2s, and at the other end just try to be aggressive.”
