Heat pay a visit to Hawks
Basketball Betting Lines
02/10/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Heat managed to stop their longest slide of the
season last night but things figure to be much tougher on Wednesday as they
open up a five-game road trip against the talented Atlanta Hawks.
The Heat halted their five-game skid in emphatic fashion when Dwyane Wade
compiled 17 points, seven assists and five steals over the first three
quarters as Miami torched Houston, 99-66, in South Beach.
Udonis Haslem contributed 14 points and 14 rebounds in a reserve role for the
Heat, who also received 12 points and seven assists from Carlos Arroyo.
Michael Beasley, Jermaine O'Neal and Daequan Cook all scored 10 in the win.
"It was a whole bunch of guys contributing on both ends of the floor," Wade
said. "We were very active on the defensive end of the floor."
The Hawks, meanwhile, won their third straight in Memphis last night when
Jamal Crawford scored 19 of his 28 points in the second half, carrying Atlanta
to a 108-94 victory over the Grizzlies.
Josh Smith ended with 17 points, while Marvin Williams and Al Horford netted
15 apiece for Atlanta, which outscored the Grizzlies, 55-39, in the second
half.
Mike Bibby and Joe Johnson each donated 11 points for the victors.
"We're a team we know that can't be beat when we're committed for 48 minutes,"
Hawks coach Mike Woodson said. "I think we've proven that this year, but we
still have a ways to go."
These two teams have split a pair of meetings so far this season with each
club holding serve on its home floor. Overall, the Hawks have taken five
straight over the Heat in Dixie.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
