the second quarter before Tim Hardaway

NEW YORK -- Turning around their fourth-quarter performance was a small step. Pablo Prigionis goal is for the New York Knicks to turn around their whole season. "I believe we can change this situation (by) working hard every day and try to play 100 per cent every possession, every day, and I dont know, keep going," Prigioni said. "We cant be sad because of what we did in the last 20 games. We have to look in front and just keep going." Carmelo Anthony scored 35 points, Andrea Bargnani added 23 and the Knicks beat the Atlanta Hawks 111-106 on Saturday night. Prigioni had a season-high 11 points and was a spark in the decisive 11-0 run midway through the final period as the Knicks finished strong one night after a fourth-quarter flop cost them in a loss at Boston. New York could have been looking at a three-game winning streak, but was outscored 22-13 in the final 12 minutes of its 90-86 loss to the Celtics. "We werent stale tonight in the fourth quarter like we were last night," coach Mike Woodson said. "We played what, four games in five days, and it was kind of nice to see us bounce back like that." Lou Williams scored a season-high 27 points in his best game since returning from knee surgery, but the Hawks committed 27 turnovers -- most in the NBA this season -- that led to 36 points and negated their 60.6 per cent shooting. "I think tonight was a night where the most aggressive team won. I think you give a lot of credit to the Knicks," Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. "Defensively, they were creating a lot of turnovers, creating a lot of problems for us." Paul Millsap scored 18 but had nine turnovers and fouled out. Al Horford finished with 17 points. The Knicks wore their regular whites instead of the alternate orange uniforms theyve been wearing for weekend home games. Theyre 0-6 in the orange, including a 110-90 loss to the Hawks at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 16, when they caused a colour clash with Atlantas red. New Yorks lead was just 87-83 before Anthonys 3-pointer with 6:26 remaining. Prigioni then hit one, followed that with a steal and a layup, and then fed Bargnani for another 3 that made it 98-83 with 5:11 to play. Starting for injured point guard Raymond Felton, Prigioni also had six assists and harassed the Hawks ballhandlers into a number of mistakes. Kyle Korver scored 13 points, making four of Atlantas six 3-pointers in the third quarter to extend his NBA record to 93 straight games with at least one. That helped the Hawks pull to 81-77, but they coughed it up seven times in the fourth. "We couldnt capitalize off of the mistakes they made," Horford said. "There were a few times we had a fast break in which we could have scored and we threw the ball away. I think that cost us the game. That kind of deflated us as a team." Still without injured starters Tyson Chandler and Felton, the Knicks also were missing Kenyon Martin, who has a strained left abdominal muscle. But they somewhat surprisingly had Amare Stoudemire, who said Friday he expected to be ordered to take the night off by the training staff in what was the teams fourth game in five days. Instead, Stoudemire -- who was barred from playing on back-to-back nights earlier this season and had his minutes restricted coming off another knee surgery -- said he felt great and wanted to play. And face it, the Knicks need all the help they can get. Woodson acknowledged that Stoudemire probably wouldnt have played if the Knicks were 15-5, but theyre only 7-16. Stoudemire scored nine. Atlanta had a one-point lead with under 5 minutes left in the second quarter before Tim Hardaway Jr. made a 3-pointer and dunked, starting a 12-0 run that gave the Knicks a 52-41 advantage. J.R. Smith got the start for Martin after taking just one shot in the loss at Boston. Smith said after the game he was focusing on distributing to his teammates, an idea so out of character that Woodson had trouble keeping a straight face when asked about it Saturday. Smith took eight shots, but made only one and finished with two points. NOTES: Woodson said the medical staff was still evaluating Martins injury, but he expects the forward to be out a little while. ...

After deciding to overlook Sergio Perez, Valtteri Bottas and Romain Grosjean as potential replacements for Raikkonen, the Scuderia announced ahead of the British GP they have extended the 36-year-olds deal until the end of the 2017 season.Ferrari retain Raikkonen for the 2017 season But while Raikkonens extension effectively locks down a large chunk of the driver market, with Perez, Bottas and Grosjean now set to remain at Force India, Williams, and Haas respectively for at least another year, one explanation for Ferraris surprise announcement is the suggestion the Scuderia have concluded their best long-term play is a waiting game. Kimi Raikkonen will be at Ferrari in 2017 The inside line from our colleagues in Italy, who know everything there is to know about Ferrari, is that essentially yet again there wasnt much choice to be had, reported Sky Sports F1s Ted Kravitz from Silverstone.They have had a little more visibility of Romain Grosjean and his qualities, given that he drives for Ferrari b-team Haas, and from what theyve seen there is nothing to prove that he is better in an all-round sense than Raikkonen.The same goes for Esteban Gutierrez. The only question mark was Sergio Perez and Ferrari have come to the conclusion that, for whatever reason, he is not the driver for them. When is the British GP on Sky Sports?Raikkonens harmony with Sebastian Vettel also obviously plays a big part in this. But there is another tantalising detail in all of this Ive learnt about. The only person Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne thinks is worth a big purchase, and upsetting the apple cart for, is Lewis Hamilton. Its believed Marchionne thinks Hamiltton is the only driver currently out there who is as quick, if not quicker, than Sebastian Vettel.ddddddddddddMarchionne knows he probably cannot get him in the medium term as the Englishman is contracted to Mercedes until the end of 2018 but he also knows that, given the current climate at Mercedes, anything is possible. Lewis Hamilton, left, could be a target for Ferrari, Sky understands Another option might be Carlos Sainz, but a young driver who has yet to score his first podium in F1 isnt really the way Ferrari appoint their drivers - he isnt really a Ferrari driver yet.Hamilton wants his future at MercedesThere are no guarantees Hamilton will be available for hire for the 2018 season. The reigning world champion recently insisted he sees his future at Mercedes and signed a contract extension twelve months ago which was announced as running until the conclusion of 2018. There are, however, likely to be opt-out caveats in the deal. As Sky Sports reported at the time: Hamiltons new deal is unlikely to be his last in F1. Assuming it runs to its full three years, he will be 33 years of age when it expires, the same age as Alonso when the Spaniard re-signed for McLaren six months ago. Ferrari, who Hamilton supported as a boy, have made no secret of their admiration of his talent, while the Englishman has himself refused to rule out making a return to McLaren before the end of his career.The prospect of Hamilton partnering Vettel as a four-time world champion pitched against another four-time world champion may not be as unlikely as it first appears.
