The Atlanta Hawks are still not done yet. They still have a little work to do to secure home-court advantage for the first round of the playoffs. They need to do to the Dallas Mavericks Thursday night what they did to the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night, and that's win at home so they can take care of home.

ATLANTA — Chris Paul limped out of the Clippers' training room Tuesday night, his mild left groin strain causing as much pain as his team's inexplicable performance against the Atlanta Hawks. He took the blame for the Clippers' 109-102 loss to the Hawks at Philips Arena, saying it was his job to have his teammates ready for a game that had so much importance. Clippers Coach Vinny Del Negro was upset his team didn't play better, knowing it would have clinched at least fourth place in the West and the home-court advantage over the Memphis Grizzlies, whom they now will face in a first-round Western Conference playoff series.

Joe Johnson scored 28 points, including a wild 3-pointer in the final minute, and the Atlanta Hawks held on for a 109-102 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night, moving a step closer to wrapping up home-court in the first round of the playoffs. Blake Griffin scored a season-high 36 points, while Chris Paul added 34 in a back-and-forth game in which neither team led by double figures until the Hawks went on a 15-2 run at the end of the third quarter, sparked by Jeff Teague and Josh Smith.

But the Celtics hardly looked like themselves
