THE Atlanta Hawks won in Utah for the first time in 17 years, beating the undermanned Jazz 105 to 100 in yesterday's NBA action.
Joe Johnson led Atlanta with 28 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter and a 3-pointer with 2:28 left that put the Hawks ahead to stay.
Josh Smith added 18 for Atlanta, which moved back within two games of Southeast Division-leading Orlando.
The Jazz lost for just the third time in 20 games and missed the opportunity to go equal top of the Northwest Division.
Playing without Deron Williams and Andrei Kirilenko, Utah stayed close until the final minute, but allowed the Hawks to shoot 54 percent.
Mavericks 91, Pacers 82
In Dallas, Brendan Haywood tied a career high with 20 rebounds and Dallas improved to 4-0 with him as their starting center, beating Indiana.
Haywood, who came from Washington in a trade this month, scored 13 points and added three blocks to anchor a defense that was struggling. The Mavericks have held all five opponents since the trade to less than 100 points after the previous eight broke that mark.
Dirk Nowitzki's 23 points led Dallas, who opened a 3-1/2 game gap atop the Southwest Division.
T.J. Ford led the Pacers with 14 points.
Clippers 98, Bobcats 94
In Los Angeles, Rasual Butler scored 20 points to lead Los Angeles over Charlotte.
Chris Kaman had 18 points and 13 rebounds for the Clippers, who have won consecutive games after starting 0-5 under interim coach Kim Hughes.
Drew Gooden and Travis Outlaw both made their debuts for the Clippers after joining them from Washington and Houston respectively before last Thursday's deadline.
Gerald Wallace had 32 points and 12 rebounds for the Bobcats.
Wizards 101, Bulls 95
In Washington, Andray Blatche scored 25 points and had 11 rebounds to lead Washington over Chicago.
Blatche, averaging 25 points in the four games since the trades of Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler, helped Washington to its first three-game home winning streak since 2007-08. He also made all nine of his free throws.
Early in the third quarter, the Wizards scored 14 straight to take a 62-58 lead, holding Chicago scoreless for 6 minutes, 10 seconds.
Derrick Rose scored 22 points to lead the Bulls, who lost their first game in five.
Bucks 83, Knicks 67
In New York, Milwaukee made it three straight wins, beating punchless New York.
Andrew Bogut had 24 points and 20 rebounds in his third career 20-20 game. The Australian overwhelmed the Knicks' smaller front line, shooting. 12 of 15 from the field in his first 20-20 game this season.
John Salmons scored 15 points for the Bucks, who forced the Knicks into their lowest score of the season and completed a three-game sweep of the series.
Tracy McGrady scored 15 points in his second game with the Knicks, but shot only 5 of 14. He wasn't alone in struggling, as the team hit just 33.8 percent from the field in its season-high seventh straight loss.
