WASHINGTON -- Like all NBA coaches in this lockout-shortened season of three-games-in-three-nights stretches, the Atlanta Hawks Larry Drew knows hes going to need to give his top players a chance to catch their breath now and then. Facing the no-lead-is-safe Washington Wizards, those types of decisions become a little easier. After Drew sat Joe Johnson and Josh Smith in the fourth quarter Saturday night, that pair of forwards went back in the game and carried Atlanta all the way back from what had been a 16-point deficit. Johnson scored nine of his 16 points in the last period, including a go-ahead 3-pointer in the final minute, and the Hawks beat the Wizards 95-92 for their third consecutive victory. "I was kind of straddling the fence on whether to put those guys back in the game ... but made the decision down the stretch to come back with Joe and Josh," Drew explained, "and it worked out for us." Did it ever. Atlanta, which beat New Jersey 93-84 on Friday night, now can try to make it 3 for 3 when it heads home to face the Utah Jazz on Sunday. Smith added 20 points and nine rebounds, and the Hawks shut down the Wizards late, limiting the hosts to 14 points on 5-for-17 shooting (29 per cent) in the fourth quarter. "It slipped away from us," said Wizards point guard John Wall, who shot 1 for 10 and had eight points and three assists. "They gave me my shots. I just missed them." Including a 3-point try at the buzzer, the second game in a row that Wall couldnt come through late in a game Washington let get away. The Wizards led by 22 points Thursday night before losing by two to the Indiana Pacers -- a team, like the Hawks, headed for the playoffs. "We fought for 3 1/2 quarters, and to lose two games like this -- I really feel like we just gave it away," Washington guard Roger Mason Jr. said. Nene led the Wizards with 21 points and 11 rebounds for his 80th career double-double, and Jordan Crawford scored 20 points. "We already knew they blew a 22-point lead. That lets you know youre never out of the game," Johnson said. Washington led 73-57 on Crawfords jumper with a little more than 2 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter. By the time 1 1/2 minutes were gone in the fourth, Atlanta was within 78-74. When Smith hit a jumper from the top of the key with 3:13 remaining, the score was 90-all. And Johnsons 3 with just under 47 seconds to go made it 93-92, Atlantas first lead since the first quarter. Washingtons next possession ended with Crawford dribbling off plenty of valuable seconds before missing a jumper with 24.9 seconds left. Atlanta guard Kirk Hinrich grabbed the rebound and eventually Johnson went to the line and made both shots for a three-point lead. "I know some guys were tired, some guys were a little banged up, and we were basically playing catch-up the whole game, and in that fourth quarter we were able to get over the hump," Drew said. "We dont panic, and thats a sure sign of a veteran team." The Hawks, of course, have something to play for -- and something to prepare for: the post-season. As was noted in marker on the board in the visitors locker room Saturday, they entered the day sixth in the Eastern Conference at 28-20. The Wizards, on the other hand, are assured of a spot in the draft lottery, and its only a matter of exactly how good a spot. They came into the game 11-35, and the only NBA team with a worse record was Charlotte. One indication of how much games mean right now to these two teams: Before the game, the projector screen in Atlantas space was showing video of the Wizards playing the Pacers the other night, while the TVs in the Wizards locker room were showing the Louisville-Florida matchup in the NCAA tournament. And yet the Wizards came out on court ready to play. The Hawks? Well, they seemed to sort of sleepwalk through the start. But they were ready when it mattered most. "We just kept grinding. We didnt hang our heads," Smith said. "We find ways to win close games, and tonight was one of the times we displayed that." NOTES: Wizards coach Randy Wittman complained about a foul called on Trevor Booker when he and Smith chased what Wittman called a "50-50 ball" with about a minute left. "Just blows my mind. That fouls not called in the first 30 seconds of the game, let alone the last minute," Wittman said. ... Washington was scheduled to fly to Boston after the loss, because they play at the Celtics on Sunday, before returning home to face Detroit on Monday. ... At halftime, former players including Tom McMillen, Bobby Dandridge and Stan Love -- father of Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star Kevin Love -- were among those honoured by the Bullets & Wizards Alumni Association. After the game, Love chatted with Wall in Washingtons locker room and snapped a photo of the group of reporters waiting to talk to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft. Cordarrelle Patterson Vikings Jersey .m. Houston, TX (Sports Network) - The Houston Dynamo will aim to break out of a five-game winless streak when they host rivals FC Dallas in Major League Soccer action at Robertson Stadium on Saturday. Adrian Peterson Vikings Jersey . Johnsons second goal of the game and fourth this season came just one minute after Dallas completed a comeback from a 2-0 deficit when Michel drilled a corner kick from the right side into the upper left roof of the Seattle net to tie it. http://www.authenticvikingsonline.com/authentic-teddy-bridge water-vikings-jersey/ . Troy Bodies power-play goal at 19:01 of the first period gave Toronto (12-8-1) a 1-0 lead. Bryan Lerg tied it for Lake Erie (11-9-1) with a power-play goal in the second period. Calvin Pickard turned back 30 shots for the Monsters, while Marlies goalie Christopher Gibson stopped 21. Brian Robison Jersey . Zimmermann (7-1) allowed nine hits and two runs in 7 2/3 innings, struck out five and walked none. Harper left the game in the fifth after hitting the scoreboard wall face-first while tracking a ball hit by A.J. Ellis over his left shoulder. He never looked at the wall and when he finally turned, he was on top of it. Jarius Wright Jersey . Mike Zigomanis, Joe Colborne and Jerry DAmigo also scored in the opening period as Toronto (23-15-5) jumped out to an early 5-1 lead. Will Acton added a goal in the third period. DAmigos goal was a short-handed score. New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - Shelvin Mack hit the shots when he needed to. Erving Walker didnt. And just like that, the Butler Bulldogs are back in the Final Four. Mack buried a three-pointer for the lead, made two free throws for some distance and Butler held on for a 74-71 victory over Florida in an overtime thriller Saturday in the Southeast Regional Final. Runners-up last year, the eighth-seeded Bulldogs (27-9) are making another improbable run through the NCAA Tournament. Despite trailing Florida by 11 points with nine minutes left in regulation, they moved on to meet either Kansas or VCU in Houston next weekend -- the first non-BCS affiliated school to make back-to-back Final Fours in 20 years. We played resiliently, said Butler head coach Brad Stevens. Im incredibly proud. Walker missed a three-pointer at the end of regulation with a chance to win the game for second-seeded Florida (29-8), then missed a long three at the end of overtime with a chance to tie it. After making the national championship game last year as a No. 5 seed, then losing to Duke, perhaps it shouldnt be surprising that the Bulldogs are one win from doing it again. We knew they were a great team, said Florida forward Chandler Parsons. Mack scored 27 to lead Butler, none more important than the three-pointer he knocked down for a 72-70 lead with 1:21 remaining in overtime. The shot came just moments after Walker, the teams leading scorer, hit a three at the other end to put Florida ahead by one. That was Walkers only made field goal of the game, however, and he finished with just eight points. He made 1-of-2 free throws to pull the Gators within 72-71. Mack then missed a long three-point try, hitting only the backboard from the left side after letting the clock run down to 34 seconds. But Florida didnt take advantage of the opportunity. Needing only two points for the lead, Kenny Boynton fired up a three-pointer from several feet beyond the arc on the left side. Butler forward Matt Howard jumped on it, and the Bulldogs won possession on a jump ball. Mack hit two free throws at the other end to make it 74-71 with 10.6 seconds left. The final Florida possession ended with Walker throwing up another long three-point try from well beyond the top of the arc. It missed and Butlers Ronald Nored got the rebound, throwing it across midcourt from under the basket.dddddddddddd Kenny Boynton tracked it down for Florida, but it was too late. Howard added 14 points and Khyle Marshall scored 10 for Butler, which has won 13 games in a row -- including tournament victories over Old Dominion, top- seeded Pittsburgh and fourth-seeded Wisconsin. The Bulldogs are 9-1 in their last 10 tournament games. Vernon Macklin scored 25 points to lead Florida, Boynton had 17 and Alex Tyus added 14 with a game-high 10 rebounds. Walker ended 1-for-10 from the field, including 1-for-7 on three-pointers. The end of regulation was also frantic as Butler used an extended 17-6 run to tie the game. Mack finished it off with back-to-back buckets, hitting a side-step floater in the lane and then driving for a layup that was barely contested by Florida, knotting the score at 57-57 with 3:03 left. Florida scored the next three points, capped by Macklins left-handed drive from the right baseline. Mack followed with two free throws to get Butler within 60-59 with 1:34 left. The Bulldogs locked down on defense, forcing Walker to throw up a shot as the clock wound down. He missed, and Howard hit 1-of-2 at the line to tie the game at 60-60 with 30 seconds remaining. At the other end, Walker held the ball as the clock ticked down, then made his move with about four seconds left. He dribbled right, pulled up and let go a three-point try that rolled off the back rim, sending the game to overtime. Florida head coach Billy Donovan said he liked the look Walker got at the end of regulation, even though his junior guard was 0-for-7 from the field before the shot. Hes made big shots for us before, said Donovan. Mack scored the first eight points of the game for Butler on a back-to-back threes and a jumper and finished 8-for-20 from the field, including 4-of-13 from three-point range. I just tried to stay aggressive, he said. Florida led by as many as 10 points in the first half, but Butler used a 7-0 run to get back into it and pulled within 33-32 heading into the locker room. GAME NOTES:UNLV was the last non-BCS school to make consecutive Final Fours in 1990-91...Florida, which knocked off UC-Santa Barbara, UCLA and Jimmer Fredette and BYU to reach the Elite Eight, was trying to make the Final Four for the fourth time under Donovan. cheap nfl jerseys cheap soccer jerseys ' ' '
