Hawks' trio headlines reserves for 2015 NBA All-Star Game
Three members of the Eastern Conference-leading Atlanta Hawks -- Al Horford, Paul Millsap and Jeff Teague -- headline the list of 14 players selected by the coaches as reserves for the 2015 NBA All-Star Game, the NBA announced Thursday.
Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors earned his first All-Star selection, joining teammate and starter Stephen Curry to give the Western Conference-leading Warriors two All-Stars for the first time since Chris Mullin and Tim Hardaway in 1993.
The Hawks' trio is joined in the East by Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat, the Chicago Bulls' Jimmy Butler and the Cleveland Cavaliers' Kyrie Irving.
Horford, Millsap and Teague comprise the first trio of All-Stars for the Hawks since John Drew, Eddie Johnson and Dan Roundfield in 1980.
Joining Thompson as reserves in the West are LaMarcus Aldridge (Portland Trail Blazers), Tim Duncan (San Antonio Spurs), Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder), James Harden (Houston Rockets) and Chris Paul (Los Angeles Clippers).
