NBA: Hawks continue to soar; Westbrook nets last-second layup to down Wizards

REUTERS - The Atlanta Hawks eased to a decisive 110-91 victory over the Indiana Pacers to tie a team-record 14th consecutive win in a game they never trailed, led by as many as 27 points and hit 12-of-27 three-point attempts.

Guard Jeff Teague had a double-double with 17 points and 11 assists, and forward DeMarre Carroll also scored 17 as the Hawks placed six players in double figures.

Atlanta has held a double-digit lead in each win during the streak in the National Basketball Association. The closest game in the run was a 90-85 victory at Milwaukee on Dec. 27. Only five other wins were by fewer than 10 points.

Meanwhile, forward Kevin Durant scored 34 points in the highly anticipated return to his hometown and guard Russell Westbrook sank a layup with 0.8 seconds left in overtime to give the Oklahoma City Thunder a 105-103 victory over the Washington Wizards.

Westbrook, who finished with 32 points, also scored the game-tying layup with 26.9 seconds remaining in regulation and had 25 points after halftime.
