ATLANTA - The Atlanta Hawks werent going to let an ugly shooting night — or the last-place Philadelphia 76ers — mess up their winning streak.Kyle Korver and Paul Millsap each scored 17 points and Atlanta beat the 76ers 95-79 on Wednesday night, giving the Hawks their longest winning streak in 17 years.Korver sank five 3-pointers as Atlanta (15-6) won its eighth straight — the Hawks longest since an 11-0 start to the 1997-98 season.I think we all feel good, Korver said.

The Hawks finally stretched the lead in the final period.Philadelphia coach Brett Brown held out forward Brandon Davies. Brown said he could not confirm Davies is about to be traded, but he indicated a trade could be coming.I was aware that his name was a part of it and I spoke to him before the game and told him that and said that I wasnt going to be able to play him tonight and risk things that were moving, Brown said. I felt out of fairness to him he needed to know why hes not in the game.Davies, in his second season, is averaging 6.3 points and 3.6 rebounds. He has started six of 20 games.The Hawks averaged 104 points in their first seven wins of the streak, but they had to rely on defence against Philadelphia.It was kind of ugly, not the best basketball game for us, said Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer.

And of course our turnovers killed us.Strong defence helped overcome a sluggish game for Atlantas offence.

A basket by Mike Muscala, who had 12 points, pushed the lead over 20 points for the first time at 89-68.TIP-INS76ers: Tony Wroten, who leads the team with 17.9 points per game, missed his sixth straight game with a right knee sprain. There had been hope Wroten could return against the Hawks, but Brown said Wroten plays with a kamikaze mentality and needs to be closer to 100 per cent to play. When that disposition is watered down, its just not as effective, Brown said before the game.Hawks: The team had no shooting practice on Wednesday. Budenholzer, perhaps anticipating the pace of the game, said he wanted to conserve his teams energy to play defence. ... F Mike Scott was held out with flu-like symptoms. ... Korver had 11 points in the first half — the only scorer for ether team in double figures.TOO MANY TURNOVERSPhiladelphias 18 turnovers led to 20 points for the Hawks. Brown said Carter-Williams is trying to do the right thing.Hes trying to make the pass to people that youre seeing that are open, Brown said. Hes just going one extra dribble too much or he waits a second too long, and all of a sudden hes in an NBA crowd with athletes.EVERYBODY PLAYSBudenholzer almost emptied his bench, using 12 players.

They were ordinary Orioles. One inning salvaged them. Rookie Kevin Gausman pitched six strong innings and the Orioles, getting clutch two-out hits from J. J. Hardy and Chris Davis in the sixth, avoided being swept for the first time since May by beating the Cleveland Indians 4-1 on Sunday. Gausman (7-4) allowed just one run and two hits as the AL East-leading Orioles got back in the win column after scoring just one run in their previous two games. "Its been a rough couple of days, but those things are going to happen," said Steve Pearce, who had a leadoff double in the sixth and then homered in the seventh. "It was only a matter of time. We put together some good at-bats and grinded it out." Hardy delivered a two-out RBI single and the slumping Davis added an RBI double to rally the Orioles, who were blanked over the first five by Danny Salazar (4-7). Orioles reliever Darren ODay pitched a perfect seventh, Andrew Miller struck out the side in the eighth and Zach Britton finished the two-hitter for his 26th save. Jonathan Schoop also homered for Baltimore, which is an MLB-best 28-13 since June 30. However, the Orioles were listless for 25 innings, scoring once Friday, not at all Saturday and they trailed 1-0 before taking their first lead of the series in the sixth -- thanks to Hardy and Davis. Salazar, recalled before the game from Triple-A Columbus, held Baltimore without a run on four hits through five before running into trouble in the sixth. He gave up Pearces double and hit Adam Jones before he was replaced by Scott Atchison, who got two quick outs. Hardy, though, came through with his single and Davis, who was dropped again in the order by manager Buck Showalter, looped a soft double into left to make it 2-1. Gausman then set down the Indians in order in the sixth before turning it over to Baltimores bullpen. The right-hander, who improved to 3-1 on the road, sensed the Orioles uurgency to leave town with a victory.dddddddddddd "I definitely knew we needed a win," Gausman said. "We hadnt played very good baseball the last two days. When you get walked-off (Fridays 2-1 loss) and then you get beat the next day, its huge when you get that last game." The Indians failed to take advantage of another strong start. Pearce homered off C.C. Lee in the seventh and Schoops leadoff drive in the ninth made it 4-1. Although he took the loss, Salazar continued a torrid run of starting pitching for the Indians, who got a typically strong outing from Corey Kluber in the opener before Carlos Carrasco blanked the Orioles on three hits over seven innings. Over the past seven games, Clevelands starters have posted a 1.02 ERA -- five earned runs in 44 innings. As much as he wanted the sweep, Indians manager Terry Francona was satisfied with taking two of three from the free-swinging Orioles. "You hope they get out of town and beat up on somebody else because they were pretty quiet for two games and a half of another," he said. "But theres a lot of thunder in that lineup." LINEUP SHUFFLE Davis began the series batting second, dropped to fifth Saturday and hit seventh in the finale. He snapped an 0-for-11 skid with a double in the third. It was his first game with two doubles since May 10, 2013. WINDY CITY The Orioles will spend the next week in Chicago.
