Danilo Gallinari breaks franchise record with 10 3′s as Hawks overwhelm Celtics
A franchise record 10 3′s by Danilo Gallinari and franchise record 23 3′s overall led the Hawks (14-18) to a 127-112 win vs. the Celtics (15-17) Wednesday at State Farm Arena. Next up, the Hawks will play in Oklahoma City Friday. Below are some takeaways from the win: 1. Entering the game, the Hawks were looking to rebound from some clunky, let-down performances after losing in demoralizing fashion to Cleveland Tuesday night and getting demolished in Boston on Friday. NBA players will tell you every win is important, but the Hawks certainly needed a boost before going into their final few game...

Pistons run out of gas, can't stop Pelicans' Williamson in 128-118 loss in New Orleans
After a gutsy bounce-back performance against the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night, expecting the Pistons to still have some juice left on the second night of a back-to-back was a little wishful thinking. Actually, they did. But only for three quarters. The Pistons hung in for most of the game, but they fell short in the final period, and the New Orleans Pelicans pulled away for a 128-118 victory on Wednesday night at Smoothie King Center. Without leading scorer Jerami Grant, who sat out to rest for the first time this season, the Pistons had to find other sources for offense, and they got it. J...

Warriors overcome tough shooting night in 111-107 win over Pacers
With gauze protruding through his left nostril, Stephen Curry dribbled through his legs, behind his back, inside and out before finding just enough space to split three defenders and finish with a left-handed layup to tie the game midway through the third quarter. It took that kind of effort on nearly every possession for Curry and the Warriors in Wednesday evening’s 111-107 win over the Indiana Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The Pacers’ defense blitzed and bumped Golden State’s shooters and barricaded the rim. At the end of the second quarter, Curry wiggled free for a driv...

Sources: Kings waive forward Glenn Robinson III before contract guarantee date
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Glenn Robinson III had a feeling his days in Sacramento were numbered. The Kings made it official Wednesday, parting ways with the veteran small forward.

Robinson thanked the Kings organization and his supporters on Twitter. “T...

Austin Rivers knows he could be traded after being cut from Knicks rotation
NEW YORK — Austin Rivers understands his time in New York could be over. With the Feb. 8 trade for Derrick Rose completely cutting Rivers out of the rotation, the backup guard said he’s heard rumors about his relocation. “There’s been stuff about me being moved to other places,” Rivers said. “With all this kind of up in the air right now, my thing is as long as I’m a Knick, just to be professional. “I don’t know what can happen today or tomorrow or next week or the week after that. Every day that I’m here I’m always going to be all in.” It was a much different vibe and outlook from Rivers earl...

Bruce Brown’s rise with Nets is no surprise
Bruce Brown’s rise among the Nets ranks, much like the team’s rise to the top of the NBA’s power rankings, should come as no surprise. The only surprise is how long it took for Brown to get his flowers. Brown was the biggest steal of the Nets’ offseason. It was GM Sean Marks’ shrewdest move in packaging a depreciating asset in Dzanan Musa and a 2021 second-round pick for a legitimate starter and impact player. Brown is now playing starter minutes on a championship team while Musa is playing in the Turkish league. That’s the difference between an impact player and a developmental piece. And tha...

Despite having left the organization on bad terms, that did not mean he did not love Houston as a city.
