ATLANTA - With their season on the verge of slipping away, the Atlanta Hawks arent going for style points, theyre just glad to string together a couple of wins. Kyle Korver scored 12 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter to help Atlanta beat the Milwaukee Bucks 102-97 Thursday night for the Hawks first back-to-back victories in nearly six weeks. The Hawks (28-35) expanded their lead over the surging Knicks (26-40) for the No. 8 and final playoff spot in the East to 3 1/2 games. Their victory over the team with the worst record in the NBA followed Mondays 104-102 victory over Utah, the team with the worst record in the Western Conference. Like the Bucks (13-52), the Hawks entered the game having lost 14 of 16, and their first home game after a six-game road trip had an odd feel. "The last two havent been pretty, but theyre wins and its two in a row so were going to try to build on that," said Korver, who was 4 for 4 from the foul line and 3 for 4 from the field in the final period, including 2 for 3 on 3-pointers. "The first game back after a (long) road trip is notoriously a trap game, and I think we fell for it a bit in the first half and didnt come out with the right energy and focus, at least I didnt." Korvers backcourt mate, Jeff Teague, scored 22 points with eight in a final period that saw 12 lead changes and four ties. The Hawks took the lead for good when Korvers 3-pointer gave them a 90-89 edge with 2:15 left. That came moments after Korver missed from long distance, and reserve centre Elton Brand grabbed the rebound and fired it back to the sharpshooter. That play more than any ruined the Atlanta homecoming of Bucks coach Larry Drew, who was the Hawks head coach from 2010-13. He was not asked to return for the final season of his contract, although Atlanta never officially fired him. "If we come up with that rebound were not in that position," Drew said. "You cant leave a guy like that that open. Or even put him in that position, because Kyle is, if not the best shooter, hes one of the top three in our league." Korvers 3 triggered a 9-0 run that was punctuated by Teagues thunderous dunk with 27 second remaining for a 96-89 lead. Ersan Ilyasova had 22 points and 10 rebounds for Milwaukee, and guard Brandon Knight added 20 points. Every Atlanta starter, even centre Pero Antic, made at least one 3-pointer. The Hawks were 13 for 29 from beyond the arc. Milwaukee had just eight turnovers and a modest 43-41 rebounding edge, but went 3 for 19 on 3-point attempts. Trailing 53-47 at halftime, the Hawks took a 68-67 lead by closing the third quarter with a 9-0 run during which they made four straight shots. Milwaukee shot 4 for 21 in the period, and scored one point over the final 4:08 of a 14-point quarter. "Our defence picked us up and allowed us to get back in the game," Atlanta coach Mike Budenholzer said. "We keep talking about being better defensively, and at some point weve got to carry it over to the court." Both teams found energy in the final quarter, when the Hawks outscored the Bucks 34-30. Teague, who pitched in eight assists but also committed seven turnovers, was happy with the win because, he said, "Nobody is bad in the NBA. On any given night, anybody can beat anybody." Budenholzer was more mindful of Atlantas opponent. He did not consider his team to be back on track. "No; not really. I think were going to have to play a whole lot better than this going forward," Budenholzer said. "Wins are important ... but I dont think anybody thinks were settled." NOTES: Hawks centre Al Horford, who has been out since tearing his right pectoral muscle Dec. 26 in an overtime win at Cleveland, said he will not return to play this seven even if Atlanta makes the playoffs. He returned after suffering a similar injury to his left pectoral in 2011-12. "No. I think it would be hard. This injury, honestly, was a little more severe than the other one," he explained in his first meeting with reporters since the injury. "And its my right side, shooting arm, and I need to feel 100 per cent confident with it, so I think its going to be a little bit slower." Air Max 270 Light Pink Air Max 270 Black And Red .

Ted Ligety, Mikaela Shiffrin, Bode Miller and Tim Jitloff underlined the squads enormous potential on the Rettenbach glacier in Austria.ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. - Ted Bishop spent Tuesday trying to salvage whatever was left of his legacy as the 38th president of the PGA of America.That he was even talking about a legacy is part of what got him into this mess.Can anyone think of the legacy left by any of the 37 presidents who preceded him? And for those who are not deeply vested in the golf industry, does anyone even remember who was last president of the PGA of America?The PGA of America has the most important role in golf, just not the most glamorous. It has 27,000 men and women who rightfully claim to be recognized experts in teaching and growing the game. It runs the PGA Championship once a year, the Ryder Cup every four years. Celebrity is found on the PGA Tour, which split from the PGA of America nearly 50 years ago behind Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.Bishop was more about celebrity. This is one PGA president people will remember, just not the way he wanted.Of all the presidents I dealt with, he was more into competing to win, said Davis Love III, part of eight Ryder Cup teams as a player, assistant and a captain. His mission was not to grow the Ryder Cup. It was to win. And I love that about him. Weve talked so much in the last year about whats going on with the Ryder Cups before and after. His heart is in the right place.And then he paused before adding wistfully, Just maybe not his comments.Those comments directed at Ian Poulter — on Twitter he called him a Lil Girl and in a Facebook post that he sounded like a little girl squealing during recess — marked an unceremonious end to 23 months of Bishop bringing too much attention to himself.The potential for that was there even before he began his two-year term. Bishop is exceptional as a public speaker, which makes it easy to be seduced by the spotlight.I think I abused my platform, a contrite Bishop said Tuesday on Golf Channel. I had lived on the edge for two years with a lot of quotes.He was the first to oppose the new rule that bans the anchored stroke used for long putters, but he didnt stop there. In a series of interviews and emails with Golf World magazine in April, he took on R&A and chief executive Peter Dawson for not accepting input. And then he poked the R&A by showing the evidence of not being inclusive was their unwillingness to accept women as members.The R&A voted to accept female members in September.Bishop also floated the idea of taking the PGA Championship overseaas, even mentioning as a possibility Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, which was clamouring for a British Open.ddddddddddddRoyal Portrush is now on the Open rotation.He also took a risk by appointing Tom Watson as the Ryder Cup captain, even though Watson had not been at a Ryder Cup since he last was captain in 1993. The move backfired when Watson made a series of curious decisions with his picks and his lineups, and then the choice was exposed when Phil Mickelson — with Watson in the room — talked in a press conference about how America had strayed from its winning formula of inclusiveness.And when the Americans lost, and Watson was criticized, Bishop took it personally. Thats why he couldnt resist firing back at Poulter, who in his recently published book mentioned Watsons shortcomings. Poulter also called out Nick Faldo for referring to Sergio Garcia as useless in 2008 when Faldo was captain and Europe lost for the only time in the last 15 years.I guess there had been a lot of emotions that had been building up in me since the Ryder Cup, Bishop said. This is absolutely no excuse. Ive got to know my position as president of the PGA of America. I cant be a fan of golf. I cant be Ted Bishop and have personal opinions on the subject. But obviously, thats what happened.I overreacted emotionally and Im embarrassed, and I apologize.Bishop blamed no one but himself. He didnt spare the PGA of America officers in the 24-hour news cycle that led to what he calls his impeachment. Bishop said he wanted to apologize, and instead he signed off a statement that only mentioned he had removed the inappropriate posts. He said Dottie Pepper, an independent director for the PGA and no stranger to controversy, urged him to get out in front of the story with an apology.This is one time Bishop decided to toe the line, and it cost him.Bishop was on the verge of choking up at the end of his Golf Channel appearance.Ive been involved for all 38 years of my career in trying to do things for women in golf, said Bishop, the father of two girls. And I think when I wake up at 2:30, 3:30 in the morning, and I cant sleep, its because I look at the things that I feel like Ive done in my career — for my girls, for women — and I think these things, theyre flushed down the toilet. Thats going to be my legacy. Thats it. Thats the situation I created for myself.He was right about one thing. He has no one to blame but himself. ' ' '
