THE Atlanta Hawks responded to a Washington challenge to beat the Wizards 94-82 yesterday, notching a third straight NBA win.
Joe Johnson scored 24 points and Jamal Crawford added 22 for Atlanta, which led by 22 points late in the first half, but saw Washington draw within two points in the fourth quarter.
Despite 25 points from Antawn Jamison, the Wizards lost their third straight as the team tries to play through problems related to Gilbert Arenas' suspension.
Pacers 122, Suns 114
In Indianapolis, the hosts came from 24 points down in the first half to beat Phoenix.
Danny Granger scored 33 points and Mike Dunleavy added a season-high 30 for the Pacers, who were down by 23 points against Toronto on Monday before rallying for a victory.
Amare Stoudemire scored 21 points for the Suns.
Celtics 111, Nets 87
In East Rutherford, New Jersey, Boston had a predictably easy win in a meeting of the best and worst teams in the Atlantic Division.
Paul Pierce scored 24 points in 28 minutes, while Ray Allen added 15 points or the Celtics, who were untroubled despite playing without All-Star Kevin Garnett (right knee) and reserve Rasheed Wallace (sore left foot).
Boston made 10 of its first 11 shots and barely slowed up from there, building a 36-point lead during its highest-scoring first half of the season (73) and cruising to its 11th straight victory over the Nets.
Yi Jianlian scored 19 points for New Jersey, which lost its sixth straight.
Knicks 93, 76ers 92
