ATLANTA (Ticker) - In the first matchup between three formerFlorida Gators, Al Horford and the Atlanta Hawks prevailed.

Horford had nine points, 10 rebounds and four assists and ZazaPachulia scored 16 first-half points to lead the Hawks to a103-77 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in a preseason gameon Tuesday.


Atlanta's Horford, Minnesota's Corey Brewer and Chris Richardteamed with Chicago's Joakim Noah and Portland's Taurean Greento form the nucleus of a Gators team that won consecutive NCAAtitles in 2006 and 2007.


But with the back-to-back feat accomplished, the five moved ontothe next step - the NBA.


Horford, who was selected by the Hawks with the third pick inthe draft, has been solid this preseason, averaging 10.3 pointsand 8.5 rebounds coming into Tuesday's play.


He recorded his first double-double with 14 points and 11rebounds in Sunday's loss to Portland.


He put in another solid performance in this one, helping hisclub out to a commanding 60-42 halftime lead by collecting sixpoints, four rebounds and three assists before adding threepoints and six rebounds and one assist in the second half.

Pachulia led six players in double figures with 16 points forAtlanta, which has won four of five preseason games.

The Timberwolves came out strong to start the second half,engineering a 22-10 run to cut their deficit to six with 3:56remaining in the third quarter on 10 points from Al Jefferson,six from Rashad McCants and six from Craig Smith.


But it was too little, too late.


Atlanta held Minnesota without a field goal for more than nineminutes in the fourth quarter, embarking on a 21-0 run for acommanding 101-70 lead in the final minutes.


Jefferson had 20 points and 15 rebounds, and Brewer - theTimberwolves' seventh overall selection - scored two points in15 minutes. Richard, a second-round pick, had two points in 10minutes for Minnesota.


Atlanta prevailed despite again playing shorthanded at pointguard. Tyronn Lue (right knee) and Salim Stoudamire (hamstring)have missed the entire preseason and starting point guardSpeedy Claxton (knees) was rested for the third straight game.

The 29-year-old Claxton, who had surgery on his left knee in theoffseason, is presently not practicing with the club.

Rookie point guard Acie Law IV sat for the second straight gamewith a sore wrist. An MRI was performed on the wrist Monday andthe results will be known on Wednesday. Atlanta swingman JoshChildress (bruised forearm) and center Lorenzen Wright (groin)also missed Tuesday's contest.


The Timberwolves played without forward Ryan Gomes (sprainedleft foot), guards Randy Foye (left knee tendinitis) andSebastian Telfair (sprained left ankle) and seven-year veteranMark Madsen (right shoulder surgery).

Re: NBA: MINNESOTA at ATLANTA

Gerald Green: a defensive beast. haha good to see him finally get his earned minutes, Wittman.</p>

 

Re: NBA: MINNESOTA at ATLANTA

Jefferson with 20-15...wow. We really need to bulk down on low post defense. That is something all of our big men need to do. I thought Shelden Williams was supposed to be a very good defender, so far, I've seen nothing from him.</p>
