San Antonio Spurs Vs New Orleans Hornets NBA Live streaming on Saturday, January 22, 2011.

San Antonio Spurs took revenge on the slumping New York Knicks to win their eighth in a row, 101-92 on Friday night. Blair had 18 points and 13 rebounds in his usually spry and rambunctious fashion, and the Spurs took revenge on the slumping New York Knicks to win their eighth in a row, 101-92 on Friday night. “I’m just not thinking,” said Blair, explaining his third double-double in his last four games. “I was thinking too much at the beginning of this season.” Tim Duncan  had 21 points and 16 rebounds, Tony Parker  added 21 points and 13 assists, and the Spurs avenged one of only six losses this season. That was in New York earlier this month, when the Knicks wore out the NBA’s top team and put up a season-high 128 points on them. New York sputtered in the rematch and tumbled to a fifth consecutive loss, despite moving Ronny Turiaf back into the starting lineup over Wilson Chandler. The switch didn’t instantly pay off like coach Mike D’Antoni wanted. Moving Turiaf off the bench made the Knicks bigger, but it didn’t help New York against Duncan and the undersized but indefatigable Blair who, at just 6-foot-7, has been San Antonio’s starting center all season. “Got to win a game. That’s all it is,” Knicks forward Amare Stoudemire said. “We’re fine, we’re fine. We’re in a slump, but we’ll be all right.” Stoudemire’s night summed up the Knicks’ struggles. The starting lineup change moved Stoudemire back to his preferred position of power forward, but he scored 18 points on a dismal 8-of-25 shooting and had his streak of 20-point games snapped at 26. He also had 15 rebounds. San Antonio (37-6) won its 17th straight at home, but the Spurs won’t see much of the AT&T Center between now and March. Having finished this perfect four-game homestand, San Antonio plays 12 of its next 13 on the road, largely thanks to its annual Rodeo Road Trip that begins Feb. 1 in Portland.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who admonished his defense after the Knicks ran them up and down the floor in New York on Jan. 4, was in a better mood this time after holding New York to just 38 percent from the field.

“The bigs tonight, especially Timmy and DeJuan, were fantastic with Amare,” Popovich said

Turiaf had 10 points and 10 rebounds in his return to the starting lineup, but Chandler was ineffective off the bench. The Knicks’ second-leading scorer this season scored just six points.

It was the third double-double in four games for Blair, who scored 22 in a victory over Toronto on Wednesday. Blair was 8 of 12 from the floor, none bigger than his twisting, driving layup with 5:44 left that had an exasperated D’Antoni signaling timeout.

New Orleans Hornets defeated Atlanta Hawks by a 100-59 match on Friday, January 21, 2011. eventh straight win against a Hawks team that shot 29 percent and barely beat the franchise record for fewest points. As it was, the home team did eclipse the previous scoring low since moving to Atlanta 42 years ago, a 73-63 loss to Cleveland in 1996. Only Jordan Crawford’s 3-pointer with 32 seconds remaining kept Hawks from their worst offensive effort ever—a 57-point game in 1955 when the team was in St. Louis. David West  and Marco Belinelli  both scored 15 points and Emeka Okafor  pulled down 12 rebounds.
