- @johnhollinger 125-100 Hawks win. I'll have more up on TrueHoop in a while here. 42 minutes ago
- @STEIN_LINE_HQ Gotta say: Josh Howard looks pretty spry factoring in the rust, etc. Mavs playing at a faster tempo doesn't hurt 44 minutes ago

- @STEIN_LINE_HQ Mavs run a lob for Howard on game's first play but Kidd's toss was too high about an hour ago
