Bremerton's Marvin Williams helps lead Hawks to win

ATLANTA — Josh Smith spent most of the fourth quarter cheering on his teammates from the bench.

He was on the court, though, for the biggest play of the game.

After sitting for all but 44 seconds of the final period because of foul trouble, Smith soared through the lane to drop in a missed shot with 0.7 seconds remaining and the Atlanta Hawks won their seventh in a row, beating the Houston Rockets 105-103 Friday night to maintain the NBA's best record.

Marvin Williams from Bremerton scored a season-high 29 points, but it was Smith who came through at the end for the Hawks (11-2).

Williams had been one of the few disappointments in Atlanta's brilliant start. He had not scored more than 14 points in a game, but he had 13 in the opening quarter and passed his previous high before halftime. He was 13 of 19 from the field.

"He was phenomenal," Hawks coach Mike Woodson said. "He was solid from beginning to end. We went to him. He continued to make them."

Jamal Crawford of Rainier Beach High added 21 points for Atlanta.

Franklin High graduate Aaron Brooks scored 15 for Houston.

Bogut ailing

MILWAUKEE — Bucks center Andrew Bogut will be out two to four weeks after the former No. 1 pick overall in 2005 was kicked in the left leg in a win on Wednesday.

"I don't want to be hurt," said Bogut, who is averaging 16.1 points and 9.2 rebounds.

Notes

• Tracy McGrady says he is ready to play. The Houston Rockets say the guard/forward will have to wait.

The seven-time All-Star had microfracture surgery on his left knee in February. Houston coach Rick Adelman says it's too soon for McGrady to return, admitting there's a difference of opinion.

• Guard Jason Terry of Franklin High School scored 12 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter, helping Dallas beat Sacramento 104-102.

• Brandon Roy, a former University of Washington and Garfield High standout, scored 17 but the Portland Trail Blazers lost 108-94 at Golden State.

• The New York Knicks say they won't sign free agent guard Allen Iverson.

• Los Angeles Clippers play-by-play announcer Ralph Lawler and color analyst Michael Smith were suspended one game by the Fox Sports Prime Ticket cable network for their comments about Memphis center Hamed Haddadi.

Lawler and Smith made their off-the-cuff comments about the Iranian-born center during Wednesday's telecast. The on-air banter offended a viewer who called Fox to complain.
