The Silverstone-based team dropped Adrian Sutil despite his career-best finish of ninth in the drivers standings, but retained Di Resta after the Scot finished his debut season strongly.

A disgruntled veteran who has played all eight seasons with Atlanta, Smith scored 19 of his 28 points in the second half for the Hawks, who defeated the Sacramento Kings for the eighth straight time with a 106-99 victory. Angered after failing to make the Eastern Conference All-Star team and blaming it on no backing from the team, Smith told the Hawks he would like to be on another team when the trade deadline arrives on Thursday. Smith had plenty to say about leaving the Hawks previously, but didnt want to discuss it after another excellent overall game. He made 13 of 23 shots and added six rebounds, three steals, three assists and three blocks in 39 minutes. "Im here. I have one more year on my contract. Well see what happens," Smith said, refusing to elaborate. "Ill just keep doing what Im doing." And that may be fine with the Hawks, who have been benefiting from Smiths strong play in March as they try to pick up wins despite continuing to be beset with injuries. Smith is averaging just under 26 points in six games in March. For the season, hes averaging 17 points and nearly 10 rebounds a game. "Josh has really been Superman for us," Hawks coach Larry Drew said. "Hes been playing a lot of minutes and doing it at both ends of the floor. Hes playing absolutely super." The shooting of Smith was instrumental in helping Atlanta assume the lead for good with a strong third quarter. And the Hawks never trailed again in avoiding a third straight loss. In the fourth quarter, it was Smith again hitting open shots. He followed a 3-pointer from Hinrich with a pair of jumpers and a free throw, putting the Hawks in front 88-76 with just over nine minutes left. Deciding to play a smaller lineup, the Hawks inserted Kirk Hinrich as a starter, slid Smith to power forward, yet still managed to outrebound the Kings and also get out on the break for some easy baskets, evidenced by their 21 fastbreak points. "Im big on matchups, and one of my fears is they start three guards," Drew said. "We elected to go with a three-guard lineup and it had some value for us." DeMarcus Cousins fouled out late in the game, but not before tying a season high with 28 and adding 12 rebounds for the Kings, who had their modest two-game winning streak snapped. John Salmons had 14 points, while both Marcus Thornton and Jimmer Fredette had 12. Although Cousins was a major factor against a smaller Atlanta lineup, Kings coach Keith Smart credited Smith with being aa major factor at both ends of the court. http://www.nflchinacheapjerseysstore.com/Nike-nfl-jerseys_Denver-broncos-jersey/. "Offensively, hes a small forward who is too quick sometimes for a power forward," Smart said. "And he changes things on defence because hes a shot blocker. Anytime he sees someone going to the basket, he tries to control the paint. What you saw him doing in the game puts other teams in a bind." Joe Johnson scored 21 points and Jeff Teague had 16 points and seven assists for the Hawks, who play the Kings just once this season. Kirk Hinrich and Marvin Williams both had 12 points and Zaza Pachulia added 10 points and 13 rebounds before fouling out in the fourth quarter. "In the third quarter, we had great ball moment and were picking up the intensity at both ends of the court," Johnson said. "We got out for some easy baskets and finally were making some stops on defence." Trailing by 12 with just over five minutes to play, the Kings ran off seven straight points, pulling to within 94-89 on a 3 by Thornton. But several costly turnovers and several missed 3s in the final two minutes prevented the Kings from getting any closer than five points. The loss to Atlanta came two nights after the Kings had dismantled the defending champion Dallas Mavericks in a convincing 110-97 victory. However, that same energy that was so evident against Dallas seemed lacking against the Hawks. "Thats kind of what immature teams do," Kings rookie guard Isaiah Thomas said. "The energy wasnt there like it was because we were playing the world champions. We have to get better and get up for every day." The Hawks are on a season-high six-game road trip that began with a win over Indiana. However, Atlanta suffered a three-point loss in Miami and fell to Detroit 86-85 on Friday night. The road trip concludes with consecutive games, Tuesday against Denver and Wednesday vs. the Los Angeles Clippers. Smiths shooting ignited the Hawks in the third quarter when they outscored the Kings 29-22 in taking an 80-74 lead into the fourth. The Hawks had no answer for Cousins in the opening half when the Kings led 52-51. He scored from inside and out in getting 18 points. Pachulia had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Hawks. Notes: Fredette hit a long 3-pointer in the closing seconds of the first quarter to give Sacramento a 24-23 lead. ... Johnson, who returned to the lineup Friday after missing four straight games with tendinitis in his left knee, missed all three first-quarter shots and didnt score. ... Drew was a member of the Kings in 1985-86, the franchises first year in Sacramento. ... Kings reserve forward J.J. Hickson missed his fifth straight game with a hip pointer. ' ' '
