ATLANTA, March 19,2009(AP) — Hawks coach Mike Woodson winced every time Dallas’ Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry pulled up for jumpers in the fourth quarter. “It just happened to go our way in the end,” Woodson said. “Our defense helped as well, especially when we had to have it down the stretch.” Joe Johnson scored 24 points, and reserve Flip Murray had 19 in the Atlanta Hawks’ seventh straight victory, 95-87 over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night. The Hawks moved four games ahead of the fifth-place Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference standings. Dallas has lost three of four to drop 1 1/2 behind seventh-place Utah in the Western Conference, but the Mavericks are still 3 1/2 ahead of Phoenix for the eighth and final playoff spot. Nowitzki scored 23 points and 12 rebounds, but he and Terry combined to go just 2-for-10 in the fourth quarter. The Mavs finished 6-for-31 on 3-point attempts, including a combined 0-for-8 in the final period from Terry and Jason Kidd. “I think we got off to a good start in the first quarter,” Kidd said. “We kind of forgot all of that in the second quarter, and that’s when the game shifted in the Hawks’ favor. From then on, it was an uphill battle. We were able to get some stops defensively, but we just couldn’t make any 3s when we needed to.” Dallas was without two starters, swingman Josh Howard, who has a sore left ankle, and forward Erick Dampier, who has a swollen left knee and missed his first game of the season. The Mavs also didn’t …

ATLANTA, April 22,2009(AP) Dwyane Wade didn’t call “bank.” No need. This was the playoffs, not HORSE. With 13 straight points to close the first half and an unlikely 3-pointer off the backboard in the waning minutes, Wade showed it’s hard to keep him down two games in a row. He scored 33 points in all, leading the Miami Heat to a 108-93 victory over the Atlanta Hawks that evened their playoff series at one game apiece Wednesday night. “This is where amazing happens,” Wade said. Amazing, indeed. Remember how bad Wade and his Miami teammates looked in a 90-64 loss to open the playoffs? They were that good in Game 2. Wade already had more points by halftime than he had in Game 1, when he was held to 19 points and turned it over eight times. Only once during the regular season was he held to less that 20 points in consecutive games, and he wasn’t about to do it again in the playoffs. This was vintage D-Wade – 6-of-10 from 3-point range, 11-of-20 overall, five rebounds, seven assists, two blocked shots and a steal. Wade was locked in for this one, and the Hawks didn’t stand a chance. “He set the tone,” Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. “Before I came out to talk to the team, right before the game, there was some joking and laughing in the locker room and I heard him tell everybody to shut up and get their minds on the game.” After trailing by as many as 18, the Hawks twice closed within five points in the fourth quarter – but never got over the hump. Wade delivered the …
