 GAME FLOW
ATLANTA (AP) _ Jim Jackson scored 22 points and Alan Henderson 20 as the Atlanta Hawks ended a four-game losing streak with a 91-86 victory over the Vancouver Grizzlies on Saturday night. Jason Terry, whose free throw with 15.7 seconds remaining gave Atlanta a four-point lead, finished with 15 points and a season-high 12 assists. Despite 20 points from Mike Bibby, the Grizzlies, playing their fourth road game in five days, lost their eighth straight overall and seventh straight away from home. The Grizzlies trailed by as many as 13 points in the third quarter, but took their first lead with 8:31 remaining on Doug West's jumper. West, who scored all 10 of his points in the fourth quarter, stole the ball with 6:20 remaining and passed upcourt to Felipe Lopez, who dished to Othello Harrington for a layup and an 80-77 lead. The team's traded one-point leads four times before Atlanta went up for good on LaPhonso Ellis' putback with 4:11 to go. Ellis finished with 13 points. Vancouver's Michael Dickerson missed three consecutive 3-point opportunities in the final 40 seconds. Shareef Abdur-Rahim, who played 44 minutes in front of 50 well-wishers from his nearby home in Marietta, had 14 points and 10 rebounds. Notes: Isaiah Rider matched a season low with two points. Still leading the Hawks with a 20.2 scoring average, the mercurial shooting guard played only 15 minutes. ... Three members of the backcourt that led Arizona to the 1997 NCAA title _ Terry, Bibby and Dickerson _ were in the starting lineups. ... The Hawks did not shoot free throw until the 6:50 mark of the third quarter, when Henderson missed twice. ... The Grizzlies were 1-for-11 on 3-point attempts. Atlanta went 0-for-6 to tie a season low. | ALSO SEE NBA Scoreboard Vancouver Clubhouse Atlanta Clubhouse RECAPS Atlanta 91 Vancouver 86 AUDIO/VIDEO   Jason Terry dishes to Jimmy Jackson for the hoop.avi: 497 k RealVideo: 56.6 | ISDN | T1   | |||||
