Atlanta, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - Paul Millsap and Mike Scott scored 20 points apiece and the sizzling Atlanta Hawks beat the Detroit Pistons 93-82 on Monday for their 13th consecutive win. Atlanta has won 27 of its last 29 games and is one victory shy of tying the longest winning streak in franchise history set in 1993. I think thats what is great about our team, we have a deep team, Scott said. Every night its going to be someones night. Al Horford, named Eastern Conference Player of the Week on Monday, accounted for 14 points, seven assists and six rebounds in the win. Greg Monroe had a big game in defeat, scoring 16 points and tying a career high with 20 rebounds. Fellow big man Andre Drummond totaled 13 points and 18 rebounds for Detroit. I thought our defense was reasonably good, said Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy. Our offense was terrible. It was as much my fault as our players fault. The first quarter was a forgetful one for both teams. Detroit did not seem to enjoy the early start time, missing its first seven shots from the floor. Atlanta slowly built an 8-0 lead over the opening minutes before Drummonds dunk gave the Pistons their first points 4:34 into the game. The Hawks shot just 31.8 percent (7-of-22) from the floor over the first 12 minutes, limited Detroit to 24 percent (6-of-25) shooting and took a 16-12 lead into the second. Both offenses ramped up the production a little in the second, with Atlanta grabbing a 44-41 lead at the break. Anthony Tollivers 3-pointer cut the Pistons deficit to 60-59, but the Hawks ended the final 1:39 of the third on an 8-2 run. Scott scored eight straight points for Atlanta early in the fourth, then Kent Bazemore buried a corner 3 moments later to give the Hawks an 83-74 lead. Monroe followed with a pair of free throws, but seven points was the closest Detroit got down the stretch. Game Notes Detroit had a two-game winning streak snapped ...

Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, the Houston Texans No. 1 pick in the draft, was on the field Tuesday for the first time with former NFL Defensive Player of the Year J.CHICAGO -- Jake Arrieta tried to tamper his pregame butterflies. Making his big league season debut following shoulder stiffness, Arrieta struck out seven in 5 1-3 shutout innings Saturday as the Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 for their first three-game winning streak this season. Arrieta said pitching at Wrigley Field has become a special experience for him dating to his Cubs debut last season, also was against the Cardinals. Arrieta walked two and threw 82 pitches. The Cardinals put five runners on base through the first three innings. "Command of my sinker down in the zone was working really good, establishing the curveball early in the game," he said. "The more you do that with secondary stuff, the less they can eliminate certain pitches later in the game. Thats kind of what we had going for us." Chicagos bullpen combined for three-hit relief, finishing a seven-hitter. Brian Schlitter (1-0) got two outs for the win, and Hector Rondon worked around a pair of leadoff singles in the ninth for his third save. Junior Lake and Anthony Rizzo homered for the Cubs, who hadnt won three straight a series sweep at San Francisco last July 26-28. A day after the Cubs defeated Adam Wainwright, Michael Wacha (2-3) allowed two runs, five hits and three walks in six innings. Lake hit a two-run homer in the sixth for a 2-0 lead. He also doubled on a 3-for-3 afternoon. "Its just frustrating, really," Wacha said. "I served one up there, and they go up two runs. You just cant afford that in that situation." Rizzo led off the eighth with sixth home run, and third in three games.dddddddddddd He connected on the first pitch he saw from Randy Choate. "We know were a good team," Rizzo said. "Its just about getting the wins. Today we got the win. The last few days weve gotten a win. Its just about staying with it, keep battling." Yadier Molina and Jhonny Peralta opened the ninth with singles off Rondon. But he got Jon Jay to hit into a double play and struck out Mark Ellis. St. Louis, which stranded eight runners, has scored two runs or fewer in seven of its last 13 games. Arrieta struck out Molina to strand runners on the corners in first. The Cardinals put two on with no outs in the second before Greg Garcia struck out, Wacha grounded out and shortstop Starlin Castro made an over-the-shoulder catch on Matt Carpenters popup. "Right now, its not looking like what we want it to look like," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny. "Whatever were doing is not working, so we have to figure it out and figure it out fast." NOTES: Cardinals LHP Jaime Garcia (shoulder) was scheduled to make a minor league injury rehabilitation start Saturday at Double A-Springfield. ... With the Cardinals struggling offensively, Matheny has tried several lineup combinations. Thats left some players -- especially OF Peter Bourjos and 2B Mark Ellis -- frustrated because of unpredictable playing time. "The message we continue to give them is: keep pushing," Matheny said. "We need each of you guys to be at the top of your game in order to be as good as we can be and youre gonna get your opportunity." ' ' 'ing to get a balance.I think its a good thing having a blended workplace where men and women bring different attributes and I think having a balanced work environment can be really powerful.We see that at Williams. We have more and more women coming up into the engineering disciplines and they do bring a very different dynamic and I know that the guys in the workplace love having those females on board because it does create a very different environment. Force Indias senior strategy engineer Bernadette Collins explains how she got involved in Formula One Williams says she would happily add a female to her roster but only if the driver was the best person for the job.ddddddddddddId love to see a female driver lining up on the grid but it cant just be for the sake of having a female driver in F1, she said.Our sport is very much a meritocracy. You have to have to be the best of the best.I wouldnt put a female in our car just because I wanted to put a female in our line-up. They have to be able to do the job and be able to deliver.
