The Oakland Raiders are a .500 ball club. No, I haven't forgotten that they boast of a record with 3 wins against 2 losses. Yes, I can do the math. That equates to a winning percentage of .600, which would indicate that they're not a .500 team.
Yet they are.
If form holds true then come Sunday night the Raiders will be back to .500 yet again. That's how this roller coaster season has gone. In fact this goes all the way back to last season when the Raiders finished as a .500 club. If you really want to do some digging then go back to those consistently inconsistent .500 years prior to Jon Gruden's arrival. Chucky helped the team to take the next step. Can Hue Jackson do the same but in a shorter amount of time? That remains to be seen.
What we have seen is the following: A win, followed by a loss, followed by a win, followed by a loss. That is the pattern and that is the tendency this team bust break in order to finally breakout.
Standing between Oakland and a town called Consistency is Cleveland. Ironically the Browns are a .500 club. Some are calling this a trap game for the Raiders but that is being far too dismissive of Cleveland. This game is no more a trap than last week was in Houston, or the week before that against the Pats.
Simply put the Raiders aren't in a position to fall into any trap. All there is right now on the schedule is opportunity. How Coach Jackson and his team embrace the chance to gain a little momentum will be seen Sunday.
Emotions will still be running high as we're just one week removed from the sudden passing of Al Davis. Sunday will mark Oakland's first home game without Mr. Davis but his presence will still be felt. In addition to the tribute that will be paid to football's most iconic owner there is the continued hope that Al will be the 11th man on the field as he was last week when Michael Huff hauled in victory.
In order to beat Cleveland the Raiders must stay true to what has worked on offense while taking a stand on defense. The Browns don't boast of a roster filled with playmakers but in a close contest one man can make a difference. That one man could easily be Peyton Hillis.
While Sunday will be a reunion between Hillis and his Arkansas teammate Darren McFadden, it will also be another running back duel that could decide the outcome. The Browns have promised to make more use of Hillis. That seems obvious but hasn't quite been the case this year as Hillis and the Browns have entered a bit of a contract cold war in the middle of the season.
Last week McFadden got the right to point to the scoreboard while Arian Foster took the fantasy crown.
But what difference does that make when all you're trying to do is just win, baby?
McFadden was enough of a factor to aid in the win but Oakland might need more production to pound the Browns. Cleveland quietly has put together one of the better defenses in the NFL and can really get after the passer.
On the other hand the Raiders have applied pressure to plenty of passers but their secondary hasn't been able to cover long enough to make those QB pressures become QB sacks more often. Colt McCoy isn't known as a passing threat but against the Raiders and their rotating cornerback combinations he could have a much bigger day.
This is one of those contests that could easily go the route of a blowout or another close call. In that case both teams also have weapons on special teams that could factor in heavily. Joshua Cribbs is one of the great threats in the return game while Sebastian Janiskowski is becoming an all-time threat as kicking weapon. Between Jano's mega leg and Cribbs' crippling speed and agility this game could be either won or lost.
No matter the outcome Sunday will be about paying respect to Mr. Davis. Now if the Raiders really want to honor their owner then only one result will suffice.
Just win, baby!

A year after my first book came out, a then-friend said to me, over dinner at an Italian restaurant on a cold winter night: "Your book was a failure." My friend didn't say it harshly--though perhaps it's no surprise that we are not friends anymore. He said it matter-of-factly, as in, the things you hoped for when your book came out, like selling hundreds of thousands of copies, or establishing yourself as a cultural critic with a seat at the National Important People Conversation Table, didn't happen. He was right. My book didn't even sell through its modest first print run, and I never earned a cent beyond my advance. I appeared on national television and NPR but my message never caught anybody's attention beyond those book-related interviews. I only got to call myself a "bestselling author" because when…Continue

"Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up." —A. A. Milne
I wrote my novel by the seat of my pants. I created characters I was in love with, and I let them tell me what they wanted to do. It was easy to "organize." There was a plot, and I rolled along, adventure after adventure, discovering the way as I happened upon it. Organization was holistic, organic—as easy as breathing.
But that's not to say the prose always flowed. There were times my mind wouldn't turn that way, and I'd find myself instead engaged in a wild, messy, passionate affair with poetry. Between scenes, between chapters, between scraps of dialogue, I'd sneak off to a café and flirt with a…Continue

I don't care if you are self-published, indie-published, or NYC-published. Speaking as an editor, author, and publisher, it doesn't matter how many times you go through something you've written, you will either find a mistake or some minor thing you wish you could correct.
Perhaps the hardest thing when it comes to publishing (after getting published!) is to let go and let your book-child fend for itself. But like any responsible parent, you want to prepare your book-child as much as possible to defend itself, especially against critics. Having your work edited thoroughly helps strengthen your book and makes it harder for critical snipers to accuse your book-child of being sloppy.

I recently began watching "The Wire" (yes, I realize I'm 12 years late), and I love it! So far it has lived up to the hype. It also gave me a good idea for this blog post. In one of the early episodes, one of the main characters (a police officer) spends a lot of time preparing a report about possible criminal activity at a housing project in Baltimore, and then presents it to a judge in hopes of gaining authorization for a wiretap. In this particular scene, we see the police officer sitting anxiously in his chair, so proud of all his hard work, just waiting for a pat on the back from the judge for following a very specific list of legal requirements to get what he really needs to stop the bad guys.

Before you take off for Friday, you may want to upgrade the sound on your computer setup. Buy.com is slashing the price of a very popular speaker system.
We just found Buy.com listing Harman Kardon's Soundsticks III Speaker System for just $114.99. This is $54 off the regular price, and also includes free shipping.
This 2.1 sound system can add better sound to your web surfing, music streaming, video watching, gaming, and much more. It also adds a lot of style; just look at it! According to Harman, this set is actually part of the permanent collection at New York City's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).
At this price, it's easy to make it part of your permanent collection as well. The three-piece setup includes two speakers and a subwoofer. Providing 40 watts of amplification, the set boasts eight full-range transducers and that down-firing sub to add a little oomph into your home office setup.
The MSRP on this system is actually $209, but it usually sells for $169. Knocking that extra $54 off the price may be the deciding factor for a lot of people on this popular set—so you'd better snag yours soon!Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

In patients receiving antidepressants for acute major depression,
the initial therapeutic response is often delayed by several weeks.
Clinicians should discuss the potential delay of symptomatic improvement
with their patients when prescribing antidepressants so that patients
will enter treatment with informed and realistic treatment expectations;
otherwise, patients may become frustrated or discouraged if they do
not see immediate improvement in symptoms and may prematurely discontinue
the medication or not return for further care.

About Dan and Heidi Thomas
Heidi enjoys snowshoeing near chalet at Lake Tahoe.
Dan and Heidi Thomas purchased this chalet in 1995
Why Dan and Heidi Thomas chose Montgomery Estates
After vacationing in beautiful Lake Tahoe for 15 years, we decided that Tahoe was always going to be a special place for our family to enjoy for years to come. We started by staying in hotels, then purchased a timeshare that we used throughout the year. Finally, we decided to find a home in a quiet, forested neighborhood, away from city noise, but close enough to enjoy the great Lake Tahoe ammenities: water, casinos, and skiing, without having to drive very far. Montgomery Estates was the answer, and we have loved vacationing here ever since. Check it out, and you'll see why this is such a special place in Lake Tahoe!
Guestbook comments from the owner
The home worked out great for our stay in the Tahoe area, close enough to everything to be convenient, but away from the masses in town. What a beautiful area!

To see the making of this piece, please click HERE to visit my YouTube channel. I know this isn't perfect, and you can see how many times I've had to correct myself in the video, but you never stop learning I suppose.
If enough people like watching these kinds of videos, I may do more and hopefully find a way to edit into something shorter. Twenty-five minutes is kind of lengthy I guess, but at least you have the option of skipping ahead, right? XD

How to Choose the Best Web Browser
Nearly everyone with a computer uses a Web browser to access the Internet, but few give consideration to the browser they use. Most browsers have the same core features, but each adds a few of its own and puts emphasis on different parts of the browsing experience.
So should you stick with the browser that came with your computer, or would you be better served by another?
[Read also 'Best Internet Browsers in 2011 '.]
Here are a few things to consider when choosing a Web browser:
Security is critical when completing important tasks on the Internet. Browsers use methods not only to protect your information as you access websites, but also to protect your computer from malicious websites. Encryption, phishing filters and download warnings are common in most browsers. Some also use a "sandbox," a memory space that cannot talk to the rest of your computer, as a way of protecting you from malicious websites.
Browsers have different built-in capabilities, and most have the ability to expand on those capabilities through add-ons, extensions, or plug-ins. Some will allow you to change their look through different color "themes." Customizing your toolbars by adding, removing or moving buttons and bars is another way browsers can be personalized.
The four most popular web browsers, based on percentage of use in May 2011, are:
Microsoft Internet Explorer (43 percent)
- Most popular for over 10 years, though declining due to strong competition
- Included with all Windows-format computers
- Not many add-on options
- Not very customizable
Mozilla Firefox (28 percent)
- Best known for large catalog of add-ons
- Large number of themes available
- Very customizable
- Frequent new features and speed improvements
Google Chrome (17 percent)
- Relatively new, gaining share quickly
- Emphasis on speed and security to encourage people to use Google's Web-based services
- Large catalog of available extensions
- Frequent new features and speed improvements
- Early access to new features in Google's Web-based services
Apple Safari (7 percent)
- Default browser on Macintosh computers
- Also available for PC and Apple's mobile devices.
- Not many add-on options
- Not very customizable
So which is right for you? Any of these four, and many less-popular browsers, will do most of what you need. Updates for each are coming out at a quick pace, so knowing which is best at any given time can be a challenge. If you want lots of specifics, check out Wikipedia's Comparison of Web Browsers page.
In general, if you don't care much about customizing your browser, it probably makes sense to stick with the latest versions of the default Internet Explorer on Windows, or Safari on Macintosh. If you like to personalize your computer, then Firefox or Chrome is a better choice.
All browsers are free to download, so try a few and see which you prefer ― you can switch at any time. No matter which you choose, though, keep it up-to-date so it has the latest fixes and security options.

Maternal and Reproductive Health: SAVING MOTHERS' LIVES IN TANZANIA
Thousands of women in Tanzania die of complications from pregnancy or childbirth because they do not have access to quality medical care. To prevent these needless deaths, the Bloomberg Maternal Health Program works in remote rural areas to give women access to the care they need by training non-physician clinicians to perform life-saving surgery and by building operating rooms in health care centers. This unique approach to improving maternal health in Tanzania can serve as a model for other countries to forge solutions and protect mothers across the globe.

Full Frontal
by Steven Soderbergh
With Full
Frontal, Soderbergh's remarkable creative run hits a speed bump. Shot
partly on consumer-model digital video, it's a heavily improvised riff
on artifice and reality in Hollywood (gee, we've never seen that before)
in which an ensemble cast faces the reality of their own plastic lives (or something
like that).
David Hyde
Pierce is Carl Bright, a writer for Los Angeles magazine who's hit
a rocky career patch and fears his marriage to a human resources manager named
Lee (Catherine Keener) might be doomed. The human resources manager is entrusted
mainly with firing people, and takes out her anxiety and guilt in surreal ways,
asking wildly inappropriate questions of her interview subjects and making them
stand up on a chair and recite a list of all the countries in Africa while catching
an inflatable beach ball emblazoned with a map of the world. Mary McCormack
is Lee's sister, Linda, a thoroughly professional masseuse who works under
an assumed name, sometimes for clients who want more than a massage. One such
client is a producer named Gus (David Duchovny), who has no direct contact with
any other major character, despite the fact that all of them are eventually
headed for a birthday party in his honor.
There are
parallel threads involving a satirical play about Hitler (starring Nicky Katt),
and a Los Angeles magazine writer named Catherine (Julia Roberts) who's
assigned to interview a hunky young tv star named Nicholas (Blair Underwood)
on the difficulties faced by black actors in Hollywood. (Underwood's rhythmic,
Def Poetry Jam-style analysis of the latter, delivered in the backseat of a
limousine, provides the film's most embarrassing moment; the observations
are trite, and his randomly syncopated delivery suggests William Shatner.)
But wait,
there's more: Roberts also plays Francesca, the actress portraying the
reporter in Full Frontal's film-within-a-film; Underwood plays Calvin,
the actor playing Nicholas, who is interviewed by Catherine. So Soderbergh is
playing with structure again, intercutting the dramatic feature based on real
events and a "documentary" about the real-life circumstances that
helped influence the feature's creation. In due time, we will be forced
to realize that the "documentary" portions of Full Frontal are
phony, too. A snippet of behind-the-scenes sequence on a film set includes a
guest shot by Soderbergh as himself. A caught-on-camera pitch meeting features
a rudely funny cameo by a certain portly, gruff-voiced, New York-born studio
boss, identified in the credits only as "Harvey, probably" (as in
Harvey Weinstein, co-boss of Miramax, which released Full Frontal). Adding
yet another reflective surface to the movie's hall of mirrors, the Harvey
character is played by Jeff Garlin, who plays Larry David's manager on
HBO's verite comedy series Curb Your Enthusiasm.
On paper,
it sounds clever and playful, but the result feels like a concept that never
got beyond the concept stage. In the press notes, Soderbergh invokes Fellini;
didn't Pauline Kael put identification with Fellini on her list of tipoffs
that a filmmaker is headed for trouble?
Sure enough,
Full Frontal feels like a grad student's footnote to 8 1/2.
Its content ranges from likably thin to sort of boring, with stray patches of
hilarity (thanks mostly to Katt, whose hyperverbal mix of self-awareness, hostility
and alienation provides the movie's only jolt of animal energy). Full
Frontal is not a disgrace, exactly, but it feels more like a time-waster
than anything else Soderbergh has made–including the improvisational, pseudo-documentary
Schizopolis, which starred Soderbergh. The largely handheld camerawork
pushes "documentary" realism into the realm of affectation, deliberately
missing important lines and moments; the compositions are consistently dull,
bland, amateurish, apparently on purpose. The tape-to-film processing cranks
up certain colors (orange, red, amber) to a deliriously abstract level, achieving
(1) a California pastel texture unlike anything you've seen, and (2) more
grit and grain than a D.A. Pennebaker documentary from the 60s. It's as
if Soderbergh is trying to show up the digital video guerrillas as a bunch of
sissies: "You people want grain? I'll show you grain!" And the
movie's remarkably undynamic compositions suggest that Soderbergh thinks
of video as a license for laziness. ("Well, I'm not burning film,
so I guess I don't have to make a shot list.") The aggressively primitive
result might be analyzed as a "style," but it plays like a ruse–one
that serves mainly to divert attention from the movie's cliched, anemic
theme, which could be summarized as "Hollywood is a dream factory, and
the dreamers are caught up in it." Put it this way: Even a bad Steven Soderbergh
movie is worth seeing, and Full Frontal is worth seeing.
Smile, little ones! Christopher
Walken has a couple of inspired moments as the villain in The Country Bears,
a horrible, horrible, horrible non-movie based on a Disneyland attraction. (It
saves Disney a step, I suppose.) Alas, it's not worth seeing the movie
just to see Walken. The filmmakers give the bad guy a melodramatic motivation
(he's an evil banker who wants to tear down the music hall where the titular
band got its start) but not a personality; what little zip Walken provides probably
came out of his own actor's toolkit–the mock-ecstatic howls as he
flattens a scale model of the music hall, for example. And what kind of idiot
filmmakers would cast Walken in a musical kids' comedy, then fail to give
him any song-and-dance numbers?

Bubba Watson tears up again as he looks back on 2012 Masters win
By Brian Biggane
Defending Masters champion Bubba Watson has always worn his emotions on his sleeve, so it wasn't too surprising when he cried over his first PGA Tour win in 2010 or capturing his first major at the Masters a year ago.
But it was a surprise to see Watson break down a year after the fact Tuesday when asked what the most interesting thing he did with or in his green jacket.
Watson was recalling a conversation he had with Claude Nielsen, who moderated his press conference Tuesday. Nielsen had also driven him in a cart after last year's playoff from the 10th green, where he had won on the second hole of a playoff with Louis Oosthuizen, back to Butler Cabin, where he received the green jacket that goes to the Masters champion.
"I said, 'This is my green jacket,' _ I'll probably cry again, but he said, 'Yeah, that's your green jacket that you're taking home.'" Tearing up, Watson turned to the media member who had asked the question and said, smiling, "Thanks for bringing this up."
Then, he added, "But I told him I was going to go home and wrap Caleb up in it."
With that, Watson lost it, tears streaming down his face at the memory of the infant son he and wife Angie had adopted only days before the tournament began.
He tried to continue: "That's the only thing I did with it. Out of respect, out of honor …" With that he lost it again, tears running down his cheeks.
Nielsen attempted to move on to the next question, but Watson stopped him in mid-sentence, saying, "I'll finish this one. Try to.
"Out of respect and honor for Augusta National, as one of the greatest clubs we have, as one of the greatest tournaments, out of respect for them, I didn't do any of my normal antics that I normally would do. Only thing I did was wrap Caleb up in it." With that he paused again, wiping away tears, then added with a laugh, "That ends our press conference."
Not surprisingly, Watson was asked repeatedly about the remarkable wedge he played out of the trees on No. 10 to 10 feet last year that proved the difference in his one-shot victory over Louis Oosthuizen in a playoff. He said when he and his wife were playing this past Sunday, he was coming off the 18th tee and looked over and saw a group of three men in the same area. He said he yelled, "No, that's not the spot, it's a little over," and it turned out to be Billy Casper and his son.
He was told Padraig Harrington went to the spot Monday and was surprised there was no plaque to commemorate the shot. Asked if he would like to see one, he said, "Well, who wouldn't want to see a plague that says 'Bubba' in the middle of the pine straw? But yes, I would never ask for a plaque. If I do it again this year, then there should be a plaque."

of adolescence. Although adolescence is the healthiest period of the life span physically, a time when young people are close to their peak in strength, reaction time, immune function, and other health assets, their overall morbidity and mortality rates increase 200 percent from childhood to late adolescence. Many of the primary causes of death and disability in these years—which include crashes, suicide, substance abuse, and other risky behaviors—are related to problems with control of behavior and emotion.
The reasons why adolescents can have difficulty controlling their emotions and behavior are complex, and a thorough overview of decades of research on adolescent development was beyond the scope of the workshop.1 Instead, the focus was on identifying key insights that may have particular relevance to the problem of teen crashes and to use these insights as an entry point for exploring possibilities for improving the effectiveness of teen driving safety efforts.
A complex web of physiological, psychological, and environmental conditions contributes to an increase in impulsivity in adolescents and influences both decision making and regulatory functions that affect driving as well as other adolescent behaviors. Indeed, a hallmark of this stage of life, not only in humans but also in other mammals, is the tendency toward increased risk-taking and novelty-seeking, as well as an increased focus on social context (Romer, 2003; Lerner and Steinberg, 2004). These characteristics foster the development of independence at the same time that they increase young people's exposure to risk, and it is important to note that they involve both natural and adaptive processes, even though they can have very negative results.
As might be expected, the onset of puberty plays an important role. As puberty begins, changes in the endocrine system can affect drives, motivation, mood, and emotion. This period is characterized by increased emotional intensity and changes in romantic motivation. It is associated with increases in risk-taking, novelty-seeking, and sensation-seeking, as well as an increased focus on social status. These attributes can have significant
A comprehensive review of emerging research on adolescent development can be found in the Handbook on Adolescent Development edited by Lerner and Steinberg (2004). A recent report of a workshop summary from the Board on Children, Youth, and Families, A Study of Interactions: Emerging Issues in the Science of Adolescence (National Research Council and Institute of Medicine, 2006), also addresses some of these issues in more detail.

Ladoga ?" one of the most beautiful Russian designs from the soviet period. The type family was developed in Polygraphmash in 1968 by Anatoly Shchukin on the base of his own lettering for book covers and titles. It was one of the first attempts in Cyrillic typography to create text face in a style of renaissance antiqua. Stylization to broad pen calligraphy resembles early forms of Latin types that were based on handwritten humanistic minuscule. Unique in its character set digital version of Ladoga was designed by Viktor Kharik on the base of artworks of Shchukin for ParaType. The family consists of roman and italic styles in text and display versions. Character set includes characters of original shapes as well as more modern alternatives. Besides there are a set of additional characters, old style figures and small caps. The fonts cover all modern languages based on Latin and Cyrillic scripts, Greek alphabet (including polytonic extension), Hebrew and historical Cyrillic letters. Ladoga is gorgeous in display sizes and pretty readable in texts. It?s well suitable for fiction literature, historical books, art criticism, religious and philologist works. It will be extreme helpful for multilingual issues and for inclusions into body text historical passages in original orthography. The family was released in 2010.

Jason McIntosh: Let's use rot13 for game spoilers →
Decades ago, users of the primordial internet fora known as Usenet made frequent use of [Rot13] to politely mask text that some people might not wish to read by accident, and popular news-reading software often made Rot13 cycling a one-command operation.
I have missed it. I love discussing games and novels and such with my friends on Twitter and other media, but I dislike how painfully general the public conversation must stay, as we all tiptoe around each others' spoiler sensitivities even though many of us are eager to dive into details.
Jason makes a good case for the revival of this simple (if slightly arcane) lost art, although I suspect in practice it won't be used by anyone too young to remember the days when Usenet was relevant.

Robert Greene, 2014
USA | Format: HDCam | 86 minutes
Closing Night
Filmmaker Robert Greene and subject Brandy Burre in person for Q&A!
This thoroughly compelling and at times thoroughly unnerving new film by Robert Greene (Fake It So Real) is a documentary that feels like intimate melodrama. Brandy Burre had a recurring role on HBO's The Wire when she gave up her career to start a family. After a few years of life in the country, she decides to return to acting, and sets the denouement of her relationship in motion. As she comes apart on camera in varying shades of drama, it's never clear at what level this film may simply be the next role.
Screening with:
Tom Rosenberg | USA | 2013 | 11m
Like a flipped but equally dystopian reality version of Peter Watkins's The War Game, Rehearsal depicts a simulated terrorist attack in Middle America, with hundreds of participants playing the roles of panicking victim, rescue worker, and stunned passerby.

Joe Dumars, via Vincent Goodwill of The Detroit News:
"We're still open to doing things," Dumars said. "I'm not sure how much more. I feel good about where we are."
Of course, Dumars is still open to making a trade, but we know how this process typically ends. "We weren't going to make a trade for the sake of making a trade," Dumars will say. And that's fine. He shouldn't make a trade for the sake of making a trade.
But that leaves this roster – likely with Peyton Siva's potential contract dropped or deferred – for Dumars in what very well could be his last season if the Pistons miss the playoffs. Should he feel good about where he is?
In Josh Smith, Dumars got the available free agent who is most capable of helping the Pistons reach the playoffs next season. Even if Smith isn't a perfect fit – and there are ways to work around that – his talent is so far ahead of the best well-fitting free agent, Smith still projects to make a bigger impact for Detroit.
The rest of the offseason was OK, as judged through the lens of getting the Pistons into the playoffs next season. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope can fill a role as a 3-and-D player, but it's probably too early to ask for much more. Chauncey Billups is great for sentimental reasons, though he hasn't played much, let alone played well, lately, and that problem rarely gets better for players his age. A re-signed Will Bynum is far enough down the bench that he'll probably play his way up into a marginal role. Luigi Datome is intriguing, but credible comparisons to Austin Daye are hardly reassuring. Tony Mitchell is raw, and maybe if plays with sustained energy, he will carve out a role this season. He's still more of a future investment at this point.
So, is this a playoff team? The Pistons have certainly put themselves in the mix, which is progress. I'd feel a lot better if they had added a point guard who was guaranteed to play better than Brandon Knight has the last two seasons, though an improved Knight, a healthy Billups, a hot Bynum or a contract-year Rodney Stuckey would do the trick. The Pistons have several players who could be a quality starting point guard next season, none of whom can be counted on to do it.
I'm not ready to make a playoff prediction one way or the other, but if I were Dumars and my job were on the line, I would be hopeful – though not quite confident – this roster can save me.
And I'd be on the phone looking for a point guard.

text: 76 notes Posted 29, December, 2012 If there's a formula to selling out, I think every band in the world would be doing it. The fact that you write good songs and you sell too many of them, if everybody in the world knew how to do that they'd do it. It's not something we chose to do. The fact was we got to a point that we were so big that tons of people were showing up at punk-rock clubs, and some clubs were even getting shut down because too many were showing up. We had to make a decision: either break up or remove ourselves from that element. And I'll be damned if I was going to flip fucking burgers. I do what I do best. Selling out is compromising your musical intention and I don't even know how to do that. By Mike Dirnt #Mike Dirnt #Green Day #Quotes #Selling Out #Money #Punk

Behind a monster game from Paul Millsap, the Atlanta Hawks rallied to defeat the Boston Celtics 92-91 on Tuesday afternoon.
Millsap scored 34 points, pulled down 15 rebounds, dished out two assists, blocked two shots and recorded two steals. Jeff Teague added 16 points, six rebounds and five assists.
Not Celtics' starter scored in double figures, but the bench produced. Kelly Olynyk had 21 points, five assists four rebounds and two blocks, Kris Humphries had 18 points and 10 rebounds and Courtney Lee had 11 points.
The Celtics extended their fourth quarter lead to 11 after a three-pointer by Olynk and two free throws to Humphries with just 6:28 to play when Millsap, who had been getting his final rest, returned to the game. The Hawks responded with a 14-2 run to give them an 86-85 advantage with 3:02 to play. The two teams went back and forth until the Hawks took a one-point lead on two Teague free throws with 1:30 to go. Neither team scored again. Jordan Crawford, who scored just eight points on three-of-15 shooting, had two chances to win the game on the final possession, but his three-pointer and 10-footer were both off of the mark.
The Hawks are now 18-14 while the Celtics are 13-18.
