(SportsNetwork.com) - The Atlanta Hawks will try to get into the win column Saturday night when they welcome the Indiana Pacers to Philips Arena for their home opener. The Hawks will also be seeking retribution from last seasons playoffs. Atlanta played the Pacers tough, but ultimately fell in seven games in the first round. The Hawks began the season after a summer littered with controversy. When general manager Danny Ferry read aloud a racist remark about free agent Luol Deng, it was revealed that controlling owner Bruce Levenson sent an e-mail with several racist remarks to members of the Hawks upper management. Levenson is in the process of voluntarily selling his shares. On the court, things didnt start well for the Hawks. They fell in Toronto to the Raptors, 109-102, on Wednesday. The Raps held a 17-point lead with under five minutes to play, but Atlanta fought back and cut the deficit to four. The Hawks failed to box out free- throw shooter DeMar DeRozan late and the game went to the reigning Atlantic Division champions. I think tonight there are a lot of areas where they were a little bit more physical, a little bit more active than us, Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. I feel good about our guys fighting back. Kyle Korver shot a blistering 7-of-10 from the floor -- including 6-of-7 from deep -- to account for 20 points in the setback. Jeff Teague and Mike Scott also scored 20 points for Atlanta, with Teague adding eight assists. Al Horford, who played in just 29 games for the Hawks last season after suffering a torn pectoral muscle, returned to the court and totaled 12 points and 13 rebounds. The Pacers suffered their first loss of the season Friday night with a 97-89 home setback to the Memphis Grizzlies. Indiana built a 13-point lead at the half, but Memphis went on a 26-2 run in the third. The Grizzlies won the period, 33-14, and that doomed the Pacers. They just imposed their will in that quarter, Indy coach Frank Vogel said of the third. They locked us down. We couldnt get any good looks. You have to credit their defense. Chris Copeland came off the bench to score 16 points, while CJ Miles and Donald Sloan contributed 13 and 12 points, respectively, for Indiana, which opened the season with a 103-91 win over Philadelphia. Damjan Rudez chipped in 11 off the bench and Rodney Stuckey added 10. David West, George Hill and CJ Watson all missed their second straight with injuries. None are expected in the lineup on Saturday. The Hawks and Pacers split two regular-season meetings last season and the Pacers ended a 12-game, regular-season road losing streak in this series with their victory on Feb. 4.

I think its every colour on the rainbow, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Friday during a telephone conference call to discuss the acquisitions of reliever Andrew Miller and shortstop Didi Gregorius.Rodriguez, the three-time AL MVP, was suspended last season for violations of baseballs drug agreement and labour contract. He is owed $61 million by the Yankees in the final three seasons of his contract.Chase Headley, who took over as the starter when he was obtained from San Diego in July, appears likely to leave as a free agent. When Cashman discussed third base possibilities during his call, he mentioned Martin Prado, another summertime acquisition.He did not list A-Rod.Cashman said, I avoid actually penciling his name in and said he strives to answer questions about Rodriguez as honestly and diplomatically at the same time as I possibly can.The extreme hope is that you get the middle-of-the-lineup bat that can play third whenever you want, if not all the time, annd be a productive middle-of-the-lineup hitter, Cashman said.dddddddddddd But at the same time, the worst-case scenario is that hes no longer a third baseman and is not a productive bat and youre looking to find places to play, whether its in the DH role or spot starter here or there at third.Rodriguez turns 40 on July 27 and has not played a full season since 2007 due to leg injuries, operations on both hips and the long suspension.I dont know where on that spectrum were going to fall, Cashman said. Well find out once were getting through spring training, hes knocking the rust off of playing again. Hell be in great shape. He usually always is. Normally, thats the guy that were used to.Rodriguez admitted in 2009 he used performance-enhancing substances from 2001-03 while with Texas, but he repeatedly denied using PEDs while playing for the Yankees. Given a grant of immunity by federal prosecutors, Rodriguez told investigators he did use banned substances between late 2010 and October 2012 supplied by Anthony Bosch, according to Drug Enforcement Administration documents provided by the government to defence lawyers. Bosch owned the Biogenesis of America clinic in Coral Gables, Florida.
