(SportsNetwork.com) - The Atlanta Hawks returned home from a western road trip atop the Eastern Conference standings and theyll try to stay there Wednesday night when they welcome the Memphis Grizzlies to Philips Arena. The Hawks swept the Utah Jazz, Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Clippers. Theyve won five straight, 10 of their last 11 and are a staggering 19-2 since Thanksgiving. On Monday, the Hawks won their seventh straight on the road, beating the Clippers, 107-98. It was Atlantas eighth consecutive victory over the highly- vaunted Western Conference. We werent executing and making good decisions early, but our defense put us in a position where we could kind of hang around and keep it at six or eight, Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. We made a little run at the end of the second quarter, then the defense maintained its place, and offensively we got into a little bit of a rhythm. Paul Millsap tallied 23 points, followed by Jeff Teague, who netted 12 of his 20 points in the third quarter as the Hawks dominated the final 15 minutes to break open a close contest and surge to victory. Teague added nine assists for the Hawks, who also received a 17-point, eight- rebound effort from DeMarre Carroll and 16 points by Al Horford. Pero Antic chipped in 13 off the bench as the Hawks out-scored the Clippers 33-23 in the third. After Wednesday, the Hawks play five of their next six games on the road. The Grizzlies have won four of five and begin a quick two-game trip with a stop in New Orleans on Friday to face the Pelicans. On Monday, the Grizzlies slaughtered the New York Knicks, 105-83, at FedExForum. They beat a short-handed Knicks team without Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire. J.R. Smith was pulled after he was dealt to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Mike Conleys 22 points and seven assists led the way for the Grizzlies. Marc Gasol and Tony Allen had 14 points each. Courtney Lee added 11 and all 13 players for Memphis scored at least a point. We were driving the ball. We were sharing the ball, said Gasol. We find the open guy and that way gets contagious. Memphis shot 52.4 percent from the field, 46.7 percent from long range and finished with 25 assists. The Grizzlies finished with a 58-26 advantage in points in the paint and out-rebounded the Knicks, 45-37. Zach Randolph remained out of the lineup with a knee injury and is listed as questionable on Wednesday. The Grizzlies swept last seasons series, after Atlanta swept the 2012-13 season series. The Hawks are 6-3 in the last nine meetings, but Memphis has taken two of the last three in Georgia. Paul Pierce Jersey . The mixed zone is not a place to make friends. Shaquille ONeal Jersey .

One of the things hed never done, though, is win a game in Boston. The Portland forward scored 27 points and added 12 rebounds -- his fourth straight double-double -- and the Trail Blazers beat the Celtics 109-96 Friday night for their first victory in Boston since 2004. Nicolas Batum added 18 points for Portland, which won its fifth consecutive game. "I was happy for L.A. and Nic," Blazers coach Terry Stotts said. "You always want to check those arenas off your list." Aldridge was 11 for 18 from the field as the Blazers began a four-game road trip. The first stop was Boston, where they had lost nine straight games -- a streak that included the New Big Three era of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, but also the period before that, when the Celtics dropped into the lottery. "Its nice to win here, but Im more big picture," Aldridge said. "I want to keep winning on the road." Mo Williams scored 18 with eight assists for Portland, Damian Lillard had 17 and Robin Lopez had 10 rebounds. Jared Sullinger, who missed the last game with a bruised knee, had 26 points and eight rebounds off the bench for Boston, which has lost two in a row. Boston had won 13 of the previous 15 meetings against Portland since 2004. The last time the Blazers won in Boston was on March 31, 2004, when Darius Miles led Portland, Ricky Davis was the high scorer for the Celtics, the TD Garden was called the FleetCenter and Batum was a 15-year-old in France. "Its been a long time, like 10 years," Batum said. "Its good for our confidence. Its good to keep winning on the road.&quoot; Portland led 94-80 early in the fourth quarter before Sullinger and Courtney Lee hit back-to-back 3-pointers to cut the deficit to eight points.dddddddddddd Sullinger responded to Williams basket with another 3-pointer to make it a seven-point game with 8:51 to play. The Celtics had two possessions to make it closer, but came away without a point. Thomas Robinson rolled one in off the rim on a feed from Williams to make it 98-89, Dorell Wright hit a 3-pointer to make it a 12-point game and Williams hit a short fallaway jumper to make it 103-89. "Every team has a margin for error and not many teams have a big one," Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. "We cant take plays off; its not going to work out well for us on either end of the floor. Those guys are going to make you pay if you relax. And they did." Boston has allowed 105 or more points in three of its last four games, winning two. But the Blazers outscored them 33-27 in the third quarter to turn a six-point halftime advantage into a double-digit lead. "You cant outscore those guys. Youre going to have to defend them," Stevens said. "We didnt do that very well." The Celtics opened an eight-point lead early in the second quarter, but soon gave up 12-4 and 10-2 runs to fall behind 57-51 at the half. Wesley Matthews had 13 points and Aldridge scored 10 with six rebounds in the first. Sullinger had 10 points off the bench for Boston at the break. NOTES: The Celtics lost four games, won four, and now have lost two in a row to continue their streaky ways. ... Sullinger, a 2012 first-round draft pick who missed most of last season with back surgery, missed just one game with a bone bruise on his knee. ... Lopez had a double-double in the previous three games, but had just three points and 10 rebounds on Friday. ' ' '
