SALT LAKE CITY -- Kyle Korver and Paul Millsap made themselves right at home in their return to Utah. Just when Atlanta seemed almost incapable of winning a road game, Korver and Millsap broke the hearts of the fans that cheered them for years to finally help the Hawks break through. Korver scored 26 points and Millsap added 23 against their former team as the Hawks outlasted the Utah Jazz 112-110 on Monday night to snap a six-game losing streak. Millsap said there were times were he almost felt like he wasnt playing on the road "I played in this gym for seven years. I felt real comfortable," he said after helping the Hawks end a 10-game road losing streak. Most of the Atlanta starting lineup spent significant time playing for the Jazz. DeMarre Carroll (2011-13), Korver (2007-10) and Millsap (2006-13) all received warm applause when they were introduced before the game. "It was like a reunion, a family reunion. I saw a lot of familiar faces," Millsap said. But familiarity didnt make it a cakewalk. Korver made all four of his 3-point attempts in his old stomping grounds but never felt totally safe. The Hawks blew a 17-point lead and it was like re-run Korver had seen dozens of times. "I was a part of so many games when the Jazz were down at halftime, just like tonight, and then came roaring back. The crowd gets behind them," Korver said. Jeff Teague had 14 points and the Hawks used a late 16-4 run to salvage a win at the end of a gloomy six-game road trip. The Jazz led 96-93 after Trey Burkes 3-pointer, but Korver started an 8-0 run with a 3-pointer and then a contested jumper to beat the shot clock. Trey Burke made a layup before Millsap countered with two free throws and Korver added two of his own to seemingly put the game out of reach. Trailing 109-100 with 26 seconds left, the Jazz made it interesting with 10 points in the last 16 seconds. "In the second half, we made a significant change but it was a little too late and they made some big shots down the stretch," said Burke, who scored 21 of his 23 points in the second half. Marvin Williams had 18 for the Jazz, who have lost six of their last seven. Carroll had 11 points as the trio of former Jazz-players-turned-Hawks combined for 15 of the Hawks 16 points in the game-clinching run. The Hawks led by 17 points in the first half before the Jazz rallied in the third quarter. Utah outscored Atlanta 36-19 in the period and capped an 18-7 run with Haywards rebound dunk just before the buzzer for an 80-78 edge. "We didnt respond to their pressure and it turned into a heck of a game," Atlanta coach Mike Budenholzer said. Millsap missed five games with a badly bruised knee and then struggled a bit in his first two games back in limited minutes. He regained his All-Star form against his former team, which decided to go with a youth movement and let him sign with the Hawks in the off-season. Millsap was 7 of 14 from the field and had eight rebounds to help the Hawks, who had a tough time matching up with the Jazz inside. Utah outrebounded Atlanta 45-34. The Hawks, desperately trying to hang on to the eighth and final Eastern Conference playoff spot, finally started to see things click in Los Angeles on Saturday before losing 109-108 to the Clippers. "We felt like we needed this big-time. We felt like we fought hard in the previous game and just came up short. I hope this will a good momentum boost going forward. Teague, who missed a key free throw against the Clippers, missed two down the stretch again but made four to help Atlanta avoid its 15th loss in the last 16 games. The Hawks are 3 1/2 games in front of the Knicks in the race for the playoffs. The Jazz just finished their own nightmare of an extended road trip, losing five of their six games before outlasting Philadelphia 104-92 in the finale. The Hawks allowed an average of 113 points on better than 50-per cent shooting, including 44 per cent from 3-point range. But the Hawks made 13 of 29 from beyond the arc to get the win, which is their fourth straight at Utah after dropping their previous 15. "The Jazz have so much tradition and its like one big family here. Once youre part of the Jazz, you never leave all the way," Korver said.

Bayern seemed distracted by its new Oktoberfest-inspired brown and white strip in the first half but stepped up its performance after Mario Mandzukic opened the scoring in the 51st minute. Franck Ribery pounced on a rebound to secure the win in the 64th. Former Bayern midfielder Luiz Gustavo was sent off for the second time in his third game for new club Wolfsburg, which lost 3-1 at Bayer Leverkusen. Kevin-Prince Boatengs first goal for Schalke was enough for a 1-0 win at Mainz. The former AC Milan midfielder ran at the home sides defence, feigned to shoot, and then unleashed a fine effort past Mainz goalkeeper Heinz Mueller in off the far post. Eintracht Frankfurt won 3-0 at 10-man Werder Bremen, and Augsburg came from behind to beat Freiburg 2-1. Borussia Dortmund aimed to maintain its winning start with victory over Hamburger SV at home later. Bayern midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger remained on the substitutes bench after failing to fully recover from the ankle injury that forced him out of Germanys recent World Cup qualifiers. Philipp Lahm lined up in midfield and Rafinha took Lahms normal position at right back. The home side might have scored in the seventh when Thomas Mueller hit the side netting from a difficult angle after hed rounded the goalkeeper. But Hannover grew into the game as Bayerns passing went astray, and Didier Ya Konan almost put the visitors ahead when his deflected shot struck the post before halftime. Arjen Robben was involved in both goals. The Dutch winger sent Toni Kroos through on the left to cross for Mandzukic to score with a simple finish. Ron-Robert Zieler savved Robbens effort from a tight angle after hed combined on the left with Ribery, only for the Frenchman to tuck away the rebound which fell kindly between two Hannover defenders.dddddddddddd. It was another day to forget for Luiz Gustavo, who was sent off in the 85th for a second yellow card, five minutes after earning the first for protesting a referees decision. Leverkusen captain Simon Rolfes sprung the offside trap with a brilliant ball over the top for Sidney Sam to slot past Diego Benaglio in off the far post in the 24th. On his 34th birthday, Ivica Olic equalized with a volley in the 39th, before Luiz Gustavos long-range effort crashed back off the crossbar. Stefan Kiessling restored Leverkusens lead with a header from a free kick in the 65th, and then wrapped up the win with a wonderful strike in injury time. Vaclav Kadlec got Frankfurt off the mark in the 14th when he got ahead of his marker to convert Bastian Oczipkas cross from close range. Cedrick Makiadi struck the post as Bremen sought a response, before Franco di Santo was sent off in the 26th for catching Oczipka badly in the head with his boot. It got worse for Bremen in the 34th when Kadlec -- an off-season signing from Sparta Prague -- headed in his second. Aaron Hunt earned a dubious-looking penalty but the Bremen captain had his spot kick saved by Kevin Trapp, and an own goal from Sebastian Proedl in the 77th completed a miserable afternoon for the home side. Tobias Werners last-minute winner gave Augsburg three successive Bundesliga victories for the first time. Half-time substitute Admir Mehmedi scored seconds after going on for Freiburg, but Halil Altintop equalized in the 61st and Werner emerged to become the hero. ' ' '
