half after he made a throat-slash gesture when he scored at North

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Atlanta Hawks only needed one spectacular quarter to earn their first back-to-back wins of the season. Well, that and Al Horford. Horford had 13 of his 24 points in the third quarter as the Hawks outscored Charlotte 34-16 en route to a 103-94 win Monday night in Bobcats coach Steve Cliffords first game back after having two stents placed in his heart. "Energy, by far," Horford said of the difference in the third quarter. "Especially on the defensive end. And we stopped fouling so much. At the beginning of the game we were really getting some cheap fouls. So, we did a better job defending them." The Hawks trailed by eight at halftime but shot 72 per cent from the floor in the third quarter; the Bobcats managed just 33 per cent. Jeff Teague, who finished with 14 points and 12 assists, was pivotal during that stretch and Clifford said the Bobcats simply couldnt find anyone to guard him. "We came in the third quarter with absolutely no energy, and that was obviously the difference in the game," Clifford said. Cartier Martin scored 16 points off the bench, including a pair of 3-pointers to help push the lead to 14. Horford finished 9 of 15 from the field; Martin was 5 of 7. Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer called it a good road win. "I think another step forward for our defence," Budenholzer said. "I think a great job by our bench to come in and give us a boost. We had some foul trouble early and I think some guys just got picked up tonight by their teammates and by their bench." Atlanta, which came in ranked seventh in the NBA in scoring, has reached at least 100 points in all seven games. Josh McRoberts led the Bobcats (3-4) with 19 points and seven assists. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had 16 points, but none in the second half. Al Jefferson had 10 points and seven rebounds in his first game since Oct. 30. But its clear the Bobcats still havent adjusted to playing with their $41 million free-agent pickup. Jefferson looked slow and rusty and was a non-factor in the opening half with no points and one rebound in 10 minutes. Meanwhile, the offence was out of sync. McRoberts said it will take time for everyone to get used to playing with Jefferson. "Its just a different style of play playing through Al," McRoberts said. "You try to work through growing pains. ... There are probably guys in here who have never played with a low-post scorer in their entire careers, whether college or NBA. So its definitely a change having one of the best low-post players in the world down there in the block. We have to adjust and play through him." Jefferson feels bad knowing that it hasnt been easy for his teammates to get used to his style of play with him being in and out of the lineup. He missed most of the preseason, too, with a sprained ankle. "Weve all got to get on the same page," Jefferson said. Said Clifford: "Hes not in a great shape yet, and he played more minutes than I thought he would simply because we are better when hes on the floor." The Bobcats certainly had their chance to erase a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter after the Hawks went cold from the field. But Charlotte couldnt get anything to fall, with McRoberts missing a pair of layups and leading scorers Gerald Henderson and Kemba Walker unable to get going. As for Clifford, he said he plans to obey doctors orders and not overdue it in his return to coaching. Clifford missed Charlottes game last Friday night against the New York Knicks after having two stents placed in his heart. "Im doing exactly what they tell me to do," Clifford said before the game. "Im going to do a little bit less during the work day, come in just when the team is here. Im going to work out of the house more, sleep in for a couple of weeks and I think Ill be good. Ill be getting checked regularly. I think itll be fine." NOTES: Kyle Korver has made at least one 3-pointer in 80 consecutive games, the second-longest streak in NBA history behind Dana Barros. ... The Hawks have at least 24 assists in all seven games this season. They are first in the NBA in assists per game. ... The Bobcats have lost two in a row at home after winning five straight.

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson offensive co-ordinator Chad Morris had two words of counsel this week for Tajh Boyd: "Have fun." It appears he got the message -- loud and clear. Boyd threw for three touchdowns and rushed for another score, leading the Tigers to a 56-7 victory over Wake Forest on Saturday. The terrific performance made him the second Atlantic Coast Conference quarterback to account for 100 career TDs. "It was a fun game," Boyd said. "I got a lot of chances to smile out there." Boyds return to form was part of a solid day on several fronts for the Tigers, (4-0, 2-0), who have won their first four games for the second time in the QBs three seasons as starter. Clemson figures to be the favourite the next two weeks against Syracuse and Boston College. Then the Tigers host undefeated ACC rival Florida State on Oct. 19. Boyd accounted for five TDs in Clemsons season-opening victory against Georgia, making the quarterback a contender for the Heisman Trophy and stamping the Tigers as a team to watch this season. But Boyd was held without a scoring pass and played less than a half against South Carolina State. Then he looked out of sync in Clemsons previous game, a 26-14 win at North Carolina State. Morris thought Boyd was putting too much pressure on himself, and the quarterback said he just needed to relax to improve his play. "The biggest thing for me is just to go out and enjoy," playing football, Boyd said. "Ive pretty much accomplished everything you can accomplish in a college career, minus a couple of things. But, now Ive got to enjoy this last go-round with my guys." Boyds performance against Wake Forest left him at 102 TDs in college, joining former North Carolina State star Phillip Rivers in the ACCs century club. Boyd passed for 311 yards and ran for 69 to surpass Charlie Whitehurst as Clemsons total offence leader. Morris worked hard to get Clemsons high-speed offence back on track. "This has been a very challenging week for those guys," Morris said. "Just to get into a rhythm, get into a groove and not press." Boyd and the Tigers started fast against Wake Forest (2-3, 0-2). Boyd had touchdown throws of 64 yards to Sammy Watkins, 75 yards to D.J. Howard and 14 yards to Mike Williams as Clemson built a 35-7 halftime lead. Clemsons single-game scoring record ccame in an 82-24 win over Wake Forest during the Tigers national championship season in 1981 -- and they looked as if they planned to better that mark early on in this one.dddddddddddd Clemson scored on its first three possessions, with Boyd ending his mini-slump along the way. He connected with favourite target Watkins to get the scoring started. Zac Brooks added a 10-yard touchdown run before Howard turned a simple swing pass into a second long scoring play that brought Boyd to the century mark. Rivers accounted for 112 touchdowns with the Wolfpack from 2000-03. Wake Forests defence then stepped up, with nose guard Nikita Whitlock sacking Boyd to stall one series and the Demon Deacons sending the Tigers off the field for three straight three-and-outs. But Boyd eventually cranked up the Tigers offence once again. He ended a 67-yard drive with a 2-yard TD run, powering through the line when he was initially stopped on a fourth-and-short leap. Boyds final touchdown pass went to freshman Williams, a sliding 14-yard grab that gave Clemson a 35-7 lead. Williams was in because starter Martavis Bryant was held out the opening half after he made a throat-slash gesture when he scored at North Carolina State on Sept. 19. The Tigers outgained Wake Forest 361-142 over the first 30 minutes. The Demon Deacons lone score came on Tanner Prices 10-yard pass to Sherman Ragland III in the opening period. Price had Wake Forest on the move on its next series until he fumbled on third down at the Clemson 32. The Tigers pulled away from there. "They ran a lot of blitzes on defences that made it tough for us to run a lot of offensive stuff," Price said. "Weve got to make some more plays." Things didnt get much better for Wake Forest in the second half. Boyd was back for Clemsons first series and directed a 10-play, 46-yard drive that finished with tailback C.J. Davidsons first career score. Boyd was off to the sideline after that, smiling and enjoying watching the backups play. The Demon Deacons managed just 80 yards in the second half. Coach Jim Grobe put freshman Tyler Cameron and little-used junior Patrick Thompson in at quarterback for Price. Clemson starting tailback Rod McDowell had just three carries before leaving with an ankle problem. He did not return, although Morris said he could have if the Tigers needed him to play. ' ' '
