Hawks hope to snap road skid in Washington
Basketball Betting Lines
04/10/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The third seed in the Eastern Conference is still up for
grabs and the Atlanta Hawks seized control of it on Friday. Tonight, the Hawks
hope to move closer to securing that goal when they visit the hapless
Washington Wizards.
Jamal Crawford finished with 25 points to lead a balanced attack last night,
as Atlanta got back on track with a 107-101 victory over the Toronto Raptors.
Josh Smith had 17 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks for the Hawks, who had
dropped their last two but used a 27-of-30 performance from the foul line
Friday to take the win. It was Atlanta's 50th victory of the season, a
milestone the team hadn't reached since 1997-98.
The win also put the Hawks into sole possession of third place in the Eastern
Conference, a game ahead of Boston, which lost to Washington on Friday.
Atlanta also holds the tiebreaker over Boston by virtue of sweeping the season
series.
"It feels good," Smith said. "When we first started out, the goal was to win
50-plus games. Some people laughed, it really didn't matter. We knew that we
had the talent in order to make 50-plus wins."
Joe Johnson added 18 points and seven assists in the win, while Al Horford had
15 rebounds to go with 12 points. The Hawks had 45 points in the second
quarter.
Playing on the road hasn't been kind to Atlanta recently, however. The Hawks
have dropped six straight away from Dixie but Washington may be the tonic for
that. Atlanta has won eight straight over the Wiz and are shooting to sweep
the season series for a second straight year tonight.
The Wizards, meanwhile, played spoiler in Beantown last night when Andray
Blatche poured in 31 points and came down with 11 rebounds as Washington
snapped a six-game skid against Boston with a 106-96 triumph at TD Garden.
Shaun Livingston added 25 points and seven assists for Washington, which was
swept in three games last season by Boston and was in danger of a four-game
whitewash this season, but the Wizards dominated the playoff-bound Celtics on
Friday.
"We pulled it out, we hung on," Wizards coach Flip Saunders said. "We kept it
interesting, kept the people in their seats a little. But like I said a young
team, we play extremely well for a lot of that game at both ends."
Nick Young scored 19 and JaVale McGee added 14 points and 11 boards for the
Wizards, who won for the fourth time in six contests since a 16-game losing
streak.
