PHILADELPHIA -- Even with Dwight Howard having an off game, Atlanta won easily. Golden Knights Jerseys China .And coach Mike Budenholzer said thats a good sign for the Hawks.Paul Millsap scored 17 points to lead five Hawks in double figures and Atlanta toppled the Philadelphia 76ers 104-72 on Saturday.Kyle Korver added 15 points and Mike Muscala added 14 for Atlanta.The Hawks barely needed top offseason acquisition Howard. The big man had just two points and seven rebounds in his second game for his hometown team after signing a three-year, $70 million free-agent contract this summer. The 31-year-old center had 19 rebounds and 11 points in Atlantas season-opening 114-99 win over Washington on Thursday.The great thing about adding Dwight to our group and something that Dwight is embracing and cherishing is that we play as a team, Budenholzer said.Everybody steps up, everybody contributes. Dwight is going to have great, big nights. A day like today was maybe not his day. Muscala, Paul and Kris (Humphries) were great. Its much more a positive than anything.Dennis Schroder displayed the playmaking ability the Hawks are counting on with him taking over for Jeff Teague as the teams point guard. After getting two assists in the opener, Schroder had 11 to go with 11 points against Philadelphia.Joel Embiid and Sergio Rodriguez had 14 points apiece for the 76ers.The Hawks reserves (51 points) had nearly as many points (53) as the starters.It says a lot, Millsap said. Our bench is great. Our bench did a great job of coming in and sparking a nice, little run for us. This game, last game, they did a great job of doing that.Millsap scored four points during Atlantas 8-2 run to open the fourth quarter, capped by Muscalas 17-foot jumper for an 82-60 lead.After sitting out for two years because of a foot injury, Embiid dazzled the home crowd with 20 points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes in Wednesdays season-opening loss to Oklahoma City. The third overall pick in the 2014 draft, Embiid had trouble staying on the court in the opening half against Orlando.Moments after chants of Trust the process! Trust the process! serenaded Embiid on the free-throw line, the crowd erupted in the second quarter when Embiid blocked Howards shot attempt.Embiid had to go to the bench seconds later after picking up his third foul. The Hawks took advantage, outscoring Philadelphia 17-10 from that point to enter the intermission up 53-39.Philadelphia could get only within 10 points in the third quarter on Jerami Grants highlight-reel reverse dunk. But the Hawks scored eight of the final 10 points of the period to enter the fourth quarter ahead 74-58.NATIONAL ANTHEMA day after apologizing for prohibiting R&B singer Sevyn Streeter from performing the national anthem at Wednesdays opener because Streeter was wearing a We Matter T-shirt, the song went off without any incidents or protests prior to Saturdays game. Mike Moore, a member of the teams Flight Squad, performed the national anthem with no signs that anything was amiss.NO CHEESESTEAKSDeAndre Bembry had two points for Atlanta. The rookie is a product of nearby Saint Josephs. He received cheers when he entered with just under six minutes left.Bembry said he had a bunch of people in attendance from St. Joes. One thing he didnt have while back in Philadelphia, though, was a cheesesteak due to the recent removal of a wisdom tooth.MORE MINUTESEmbiid, on a minutes restriction because of his foot injury, played 15 minutes.With the minutes he played, he clearly helped us, Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said. Were looking forward to him playing more minutes.TIP-INSHawks: Millsap, a three-time All-Star, is averaging a team-best 22.5 points per game through two games. ... Atlanta nearly doubled Philadelphia in assists, with 31 to the 76ers 16.76ers: Philadelphia, which started 0-18 on the way to a 10-72 mark last season, looks for its first win with its third straight home game to start the season, Tuesday against the Magic. Five of the 76ers first six games are at home. Philadelphia is playing without three starters because of injury: Jerryd Bayless (wrist), Nerlens Noel (knee) and 2016 No. 1 pick Ben Simmons (foot).UP NEXTHawks: Host Sacramento on Monday night.76ers: Host Orlando on Tuesday night. Marc-Andre Fleury Jersey Large . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams. Cheap Custom Golden Knights Jersey . Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. http://www.customgoldenknightsjersey.com/ . Brad Jacobs and his Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., team took control of the game early. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Houston Texans actually had a nice road trip. No surprise it came in Jacksonville, where the Jaguars are winless this season.Brock Osweiler threw two touchdown passes, Kareem Jackson returned an interception 42 yards for a score and the Texans beat the Jaguars 24-21 on Sunday for their first road win in 2016.The Texans (6-3) scored on offense and defense and set up another score with special teams, a complete team effort that kept them perfect (3-0) against the AFC South. They won their fifth in a row against Jacksonville.This one came despite Osweiler throwing for 99 yards.We have to play the game the way we see it playing out, Texans coach Bill OBrien said. We dont worry about stats. I think everyone needs to understand that in the National Football League its all about winning. Its about winning. Whatever it takes to win that is what we try to do. Sometimes it doesnt work out, but six times this year it has worked out and three times it hasnt. Hopefully, we can be on the positive side of the ledger.The Jaguars (2-7) lost their fourth straight and fell to 0-4 at home. Coach Gus Bradleys team rallied late, with Blake Bortles hitting Allen Robinson for a touchdown and again for a 2-point conversion to make it a three-point game.But the Texans converted a third-and-5 play with 2 minutes to play and were able to run out the clock. The loss dropped Bradleys record to 14-43 in four seasons and prompted even Jacksonvilles most loyal supporters to question why owner Shad Khan hasnt made a change.You cant do anything besides put your head down and continue to work, Bortles said.Houston had been downright dismal on the road this season , scoring just one touchdown in lopsided losses at New England, Minnesota and Denver. The Texans found Jacksonville to be much more hospitable, especially on the opening drive.On the fifth play of the game, Jackson stepped in front of Allen Hurns , tipped the ball up, bobbled it, secured it and sauntered down the sideline before juking Bortles and high-stepping into the end zone. Punt returner Tyler Ervin helped make it 21-10 in the third quarter, weaving his way for 57 yards and setting the Texans up at the 7-yard line. Osweiler hooked up with Stephen Anderson on the nextt play. Custom Marc-Andre Fleury Jersey. .Nick Novak, who missed two field goals earlier, connected on a 51-yarder with 8:32 remaining that gave Houston some breathing room. The Texans kept that drive alive by converting a third-and-16 play from the 19. Akeem Hunt, called up from the practice squad Saturday, ran around the left end for 17 yards.That was crushing, Jaguars defensive tackle Malik Jackson said. I thought it was a pass for sure. Everybody made a mistake thinking it was pass. Weve got to get off blocks and make the tackle. Nobody seemed to do that and we lost. Two or three plays as a defense will show us why we lost the game, but we were playing a hell of a game.The Texans finished with 181 yards on the ground.FLUKY FUMBLEThe Jaguars added to their lowlight reel in the second quarter when Bortles did the most Bortles thing ever .Under heavy pressure and trying to ground the ball near tightly covered running back T.J. Yeldon, Bortles hit Yeldon in the foot. The ball bounced up and landed in linebacker Whitney Mercilus hands for what initially was ruled an interception. It was later changed to a lateral and a fumble.Ive never seen that happen, Bortles said. From the time you start playing quarterback, they tell you if the screen is covered, throw it at his feet. I was trying to make the smart play and live to play another down and that happens. Unfortunate.MISSING MENEven though it came against dysfunctional Jacksonville, Houstons victory was somewhat impressive considering how many key players the team was missing.Starting receiver Will Fuller (knee), run-stuffing nose tackle Vince Wilfork (groin) and cornerback A.J. Bouye (ankle) were inactive. So was fellow receiver Jaelen Strong, leaving the Texans with just three healthy wideouts.DROUGHTS CONTINUEThe Jaguars failed once again to score a touchdown on their opening possession, extending the NFLs longest current TD drought to open games to 23 games. Maybe even more baffling, the Jags have gone more than five games without a takeaway. Its officially 23 quarters and counting.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
