Only one more quarter stands between the Hawks and the win they were favored to collect coming into this afternoon. Sitting on a score of 93-84, they have looked like the better team, but there's still one more quarter to play. The Hawks came into the matchup with some extra motivation after the loss they were dealt the last time these two teams faced off. We'll see if they're able to flip the script or if it'll just be more of the same. Miami Heat @ Atlanta Hawks Current Records: Miami 15-13, Atlanta 16-15 When: Saturday, December 28, 2024 at 3 p.m. ET Where: State Farm Arena -- Atlanta, Georgia TV: NBATV Follow: CBS Sports App Online streaming: fuboTV (Try for free. Regional restrictions may apply.) Ticket Cost: $48.00 The Miami Heat will wrap up 2024 with a road trip to face off against the Atlanta Hawks at 3:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at State Farm Arena. The Heat pulled off an upset win in their last outing, and are hoping to pull that off once more against the 2.5-point favorite Hawks. The Heat are headed into this one after the oddsmakers set last week's over/under low at 208.5, but even that wound up being too high. They skirted by the Magic 89-88 on Thursday thanks to a clutch shot from Tyler Herro with less than a second left in the fourth quarter. The victory was all the more spectacular given Miami was down by 17 with 5:36 left in the first quarter. Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask the Hawks). They came out on top against the Bulls by a score of 141-133 on Thursday. The win was all the more spectacular given Atlanta was down by 21 with 1:12 left in the third quarter. The Hawks got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Jalen Johnson out in front who dropped a double-double on 30 points and 15 rebounds. What's more, Johnson also racked up five offensive rebounds, the most he's had since back in October. Trae Young was another key player, dropping a double-double on 27 points and 13 assists. The Hawks were working as a unit and finished the game with 32 assists (they're ranked third in assists per game overall). That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now racked up at least 27 assists in four consecutive matches. Miami's win ended a four-game drought on the road and puts them at 15-13. As for Atlanta, they now have a winning record of 16-15. Not only did both teams in this Saturday's game win their last matches, they also took care of their bettors and covered the spread. Looking ahead, the Hawks are expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. Neither team has fared well against the spread this season; they are 13-18, while Miami is 11-17. The Heat didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against the Hawks in their previous matchup back in April, but they still walked away with a 117-111 victory. Do the Heat have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Hawks turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough. Atlanta is a slight 2.5-point favorite against Miami, according to the latest NBA odds . The oddsmakers had a good feel for the line for this one, as the game opened with the Hawks as a 3-point favorite. The over/under is 225.5 points.

But considering they were in Southern California for just a few days after their Nov. 26 road loss to the Phoenix Suns and Nov. 27 road win over the San Antonio Spurs – flying back to L.A. Thanksgiving ahead of their Nov. 29 home loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder before flying to Salt Lake City the afternoon of Nov. 30 – the trip felt longer. “It was a two-week road trip, let’s be honest,” coach JJ Redick said Friday night. “It was a two-week road trip.” And the nature of how the last two weeks have gone for the Lakers added to their road weariness. The loss to the Hawks was their third straight defeat, including their losses to the Minnesota Timberwolves and Miami Heat by a combined 70 points, and their seventh loss in nine games going back to the Nov. 21 home loss to the Orlando Magic , the start of another three-game losing streak. While Friday’s loss continued their losing streak, they played with significantly more energy and effort compared to their losses earlier in the week. “Based off the last couple games that we played, Minnesota and Miami, it’s a good bounce back for us,” Anthony Davis said. “Just some of the defensive communication we messed up a little bit [on Friday night]. As far as the carryover, it was better.” When asked what it’ll take for the Lakers, who won their first three games of the season and were 10-4 before their recent skid, to get back over the hump, LeBron James pointed to the players the team has been without. Austin Reaves missed the entire road trip because of a bruised left pelvis suffered Nov. 29 against the Thunder. “With Austin, the movement piece and the thrust, his ability to get in the paint, his ability to, for the most part, make quick decisions,” Redick said. “In some ways, he’s like a connector for our offense, but he’s also a scorer and a playmaker. So you can have connectors that aren’t necessarily players that can do what Austin does in terms of creating offense. He does both. And also, he’s highly competitive and he brings that juice every night.” Backup center Jaxson Hayes has been sidelined 12 of the last 13 games because of right ankle injuries, and isn’t expected to be reevaluated until this upcoming week. Christian Wood (offseason left knee surgery) and Jarred Vanderbilt (offseason feet surgery recovery) have yet to play this season. The Lakers announced that Vanderbilt is expected to return in early January . Wood’s status isn’t as clear. “I don’t know as far as what will get us over the hump,” James said. “We just gotta just not drown. Don’t drown and we’ll be all right.” Or as Davis put it: “There’s no cavalry. No one [feels] sorry for us. We can’t feel sorry for ourselves. Just gotta continue to put our head down and grind and work.” The Lakers will host the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday at Crytpo.com Arena. After that, they’ll get a rare four-day break off of games before playing the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday in Minneapolis. “That break, if you call it a break, for three, four days, we have to use that for our minds, for our bodies, for clean up,” Redick said. “It’ll be a good opportunity for us.” TRAIL BLAZERS AT LAKERS When : 6:30 p.m. Sunday Where : Crypto.com Arena TV/radio : Spectrum SportsNet/710 AM
NoneGovernment is not a family
ST. LOUIS — Dozens of activists gathered Friday to demand changes at the city’s downtown jail, which has seen 18 people die in custody since 2020. In a press conference on the steps of City Hall, activists said the city has failed to provide proper health care services and has broken its promises to improve conditions and be more transparent about problems. “We must act now to prevent any further loss of life,” said Mike Milton, who heads Freedom Community Center, which advocates for alternatives to incarceration. The protest marked only the latest call for change at an institution that has lurched from crisis to crisis in recent years. Since 2021, it has been buffeted by rioting , hostage-taking , and rashes of deaths. Detainees and their family members have complained of dismal health care services . Attorneys have complained of trouble getting access to clients . Aldermen have held hearings on worrying staff shortages. It has also been a political problem. Mayor Tishaura O. Jones’ campaigned on cleaning up the Corrections Division after years of complaints of inhumane conditions and treatment of detainees at the City Workhouse, on the north riverfront, and riots at the downtown jail. The workhouse is closed, and set for demolition next month. But the downtown jail remains an albatross. The city has tried to improve conditions, St. Louis Public Safety Director Charles Coyle countered at a press conference Friday. Officials have hired a new contract health care provider and created new city health department positions to oversee care . They have ramped up visitor screening to keep out drugs that have caused deadly overdoses. They have spent millions of dollars replacing faulty cell locks that enabled at least some of the rioting. “We have made improvements, and continue to make improvements,” Coyle said. He noted that only two people have died in city custody thus far this year. If that holds, it would mark a reduction from 2022, when six people died, and 2023, when five people did. But activists said they would not be satisfied without sweeping change. Reading from a letter signed by a slew of social justice groups and delivered to city officials Friday, Milton said the city must end lockdowns that keep detainees in their cells for most of the day, and work with courts and prosecutors to reduce the number of people in the jail. He said the city has to stop arming its guards with mace spray, which critics say has been overused on prisoners . He said the city’s citizen oversight board must be given full access to the jail and its records to investigate wrongdoing, something board members say they have been consistently denied over the past two years. Others, like Inez Bordeaux, who is running for alderman in the city's 3rd Ward, and Janis Mensah, the onetime chair of the city's jail oversight board, spoke of closing the downtown jail like the city did with the old workhouse, leaving the city with no jail at all. “To me, it's simple,” Mensah said. “No more jail deaths means no more jail.” Rasmus Jorgensen, a spokesperson for Mayor Tishaura O. Jones, said the city has no plans to close its remaining jail.Fox News Flash top entertainment and celebrity headlines are here.
