ATLANTA -- Al Horford passed on the shot earlier in the game. When it opened up again, he let it fly. Horford knocked down a 20-foot jumper with 4.2 seconds left and the Hawks rallied from a 17-point deficit in the second half, stunning the Dallas Mavericks 88-87 on Friday night. "I had that shot before, and I didnt take it," Horford said. "Shelvin (Mack, a Hawks guard) kept telling me, Thats your shot. You need to shoot it. When the opportunity came again, I knocked it down." Jeff Teague scored 25 points for the Hawks, while Horford finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds. The Mavericks were up 70-55 when point guard Jose Calderon went out late in the third quarter with an injured right ankle. X-rays were negative but he did not return. Without Calderon running the offence, Dallas totally bogged down. Rookie guard Shane Larkin had a miserable night, going 0 for 4 from the field and turning it over four times. The Mavericks hit just 38 per cent, with Vince Carter missing badly on the final shot of the game. "Calderon is a big part of what they do," said Hawks forward Paul Millsap, who hit a huge 3-pointer over Dirk Nowitzki with 1:16 remaining to give the Hawks a chance. "Without him on the court, it kind of helped us out." Atlanta snapped a three-game losing streak and climbed back above .500 at 9-8. The Mavericks made 3 of 19 shots in the final quarter, their last field goal coming on Shawn Marions jumper with 5:05 remaining for an 85-77 lead. Dallas managed only two more points the rest of the way, a pair of free throws by DeJuan Blair with 3:27 left. Atlanta scored the final seven points, capped by Horfords jumper after the defence sagged away from him near the top of the key. "Jeff tried to attack and they kind of backed off," Horford said. "I just took what the defence gave me." Calderon and Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 16 points apiece, while Marion chipped in with 15. It was a brutal loss for Dallas, which dipped to 2-6 on the road. "They play good in their house," Marion said. "But still, we should have won this game." Calderon wasnt even sure when he injured his ankle, saying it happened sometime in the first half and kept getting worse. Calderon hopes to return when the Mavericks host Minnesota on Saturday night. "I dont know if somebody hit me or I hit the floor," Calderon said. "Thats why its kind of weird. Teague carried much of the load for the Hawks, bouncing back from a four-point effort in a loss to Houston. He kept getting to the foul line, doled out six assists and didnt turn it over until he lost the ball out of bounds with about 2 1/2 minutes remaining. Lou Williams made his first start for the Hawks since coming back from knee surgery that kept him out much of last season and the first few weeks of this season. He scored a season-high 12 points. The Hawks jumped out to a 23-18 lead in the first quarter, but the Mavericks scored the final 10 points of the period to lead at the break. Dallas got much of its production beyond the arc, making 6 of 7 from 3-point range. Calderon went 3 for 3, Marion hit a pair of long-range jumpers and Carter chipped in with one. Nowitzki missed all three of his shots and was held scoreless in the opening quarter. But he warmed up in the second, knocking down Dallas first six points for a 16-0 run that extended the lead to 34-23. The Mavericks maintained a double-digit edge through most of the second and third quarters, going to the final period up 75-64. Their biggest lead was 66-49 midway through the third. NOTES: Kyle Korver skipped his second straight game with bruised ribs, again delaying his quest to set an NBA record for consecutive games with a 3-point basket. He remains at 88 in a row, one shy of the mark set by Dana Barrow from Dec. 23, 1994-Jan. 10, 1996, with Philadelphia and Boston. Korver was receiving treatment during the game, but the Hawks werent sure if hed be on a road trip to Washington and San Antonio. ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- With less than 2 minutes to play and Colorado State down by eight points, Shaquil Barrett knew the Rams needed the ball back quickly to finish an improbable comeback against Washington State. Once down by 22 points in the New Mexico Bowl, the Rams got their chance when Cougars running back Jeremiah Laufasa came barrelling toward Barrett. "I was kind of thinking in my mind, yeah, That was our shot to get back in the game right there," said Barrett, who stripped the ball. "I really didnt think I was going to get the opportunity." That fumble, at the Cougars 33, set up Kapri Bibbs 1-yard run score and Donnell Alexanders two-point conversion run that tied it at 45 with 33 seconds left. Then, Washington States Teondray Caldwell fumbled a kickoff return at the 24, setting up Jared Roberts 41-yard field goal as time expired gave Colorado State a 48-45 victory Saturday. It was a quarterback shootout that saw close to 800 passing yards combined and a game largely dominated by Washington State until the last 2 minutes. And Colorado State did not have a led the entire game until that winning field goal. "That win right there...its pretty amazing how it worked but at the end of the day, its about being resilient," Rams coach Jim McElwain. "Its about understanding (that) every play has a history and life of its own." Garrett Grayson threw for 369 yards and Bibbs ran for 169 yards and three touchdowns for Colorado State (8-6). The Rams overcame three early turnovers. "Im still kind of at a loss for words about how that whole thing ended up," Rams centre Weston Richburg said. "It must have been destiny. Thats the mosst unbelievable game Ive ever been a part of.dddddddddddd." Meanwhile, Washington States Connor Halliday threw touchdown passes to six receivers and finished with 410 yards for Washington State (6-7). Those six touchdown passes tied West Virginias Geno Smith and Iowas Chuck Long for an NCAA bowl record. After the first touchdown pass, Halliday got into a shouting match with a Colorado State coach when Halliday ran into the Rams sideline. That exchange created a social media buzz and McElwain vowed look into it. "Coach grabbed me and said some profane things to me and thats all Ill say about it," Halliday said. Washington State scored 35 points in the first half, but had only 10 in the second. With the game winding down, a lack of a running game forced the Cougars to stay with their spread offence and prevented them for running down the clock when ahead by 15 points in the fourth quarter. "Colorado State finished the game. We didnt," Washington State coach Mike Leach said. "They finished the game better than we did. The lesson to be learned from that is it doesnt matter where youre at. You need to go out and finish the game." Washington State rushed for minus-10 yards total. The match-up brought together two second-year coaches working to turn around their teams fortunes with high-octane offences. Colorado State had not played in a post-season game since 2008. Washington State had not been in a bowl game since 2003. McElwain predicted the bowl victory would help the Rams with recruiting and said it was evidence how far the program had come. "Unbelievable," McElwain said. "You dont write scripts like this." ' ' '
