Salmons scores 32 points in big win

John Salmons continues to win over Bucks fans -- on Monday he scored 32 points in yet another big win, knocking off the visiting Hawks 98-95.

Salmons made 12-of-19 FGs, 3-of-6 threes, and 5-of-5 FTs, with three rebounds and one steal in nearly 42 minutes. Milwaukee has surged into sixth place in the East, which is where they will likely stay -- they're 3.0 games up on Miami, and 5.5 games behind Atlanta.

Salmons has been simply brilliant since being traded to the Bucks, averaging 19.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.4 3-pointers while shooting 86.7 percent from the line in 16 contests. Given the way he's playing (not to mention the Bucks), I wouldn't be surprised if he kept this up the rest of the way.

The Bulls surged in the second half last season after trading for John Salmons. The Bucks are 14-2 since trading for Salmons last month. Can't wait to see what kind of offers Milwaukee gets for the guy next February.
