Kevin Huerter got his first start for Atlanta on Saturday night at Portland. Huerter had 13 points, but the Hawks lost to the Trail Blazers, 112-106.
Atlanta, at least, kept it close, unlike on Friday when Utah thumped the Hawks, 116-92. Huerter had 10 points off the bench in that game.

Siena hasn't missed a beat since Jalen Pickett went down with a hamstring injury 9 days ago.
In his place, Jordan King has been, as they saying goes, en fuego. The Rider Broncs would be happy if they didn't see him again this season.
The CBA graduate had 21 points Friday in a 78-69 win, leading all scorers. Saturday night was a nail-biter, but King, for the fourth straight game, carded a career best point total, upping it to 22, as Siena completed the sweep, 74-72.
The Saints return home Friday to play St. Peter's, with the game airing on ESPNU. As Dan Patrick, now with NBC Sports Network, would say, you can't stop King. You can only hope to contain him.

After a 3 1/2 week layoff, the UAlbany women hosted Maine Saturday in the first half of a men's/women's doubleheader at SEFCU Arena. Unfortunately, there was too much rust on Colleen Mullen's squad, and it showed, as the Lady Bears beat the Lady Danes, 66-48. Lucia DeCortes led Albany with 12 points. Helene Haegerstrand added 10. Grace Heeps contributed 3 points.
The second game in the series is going on at press time.
The men, meanwhile, dispatched New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), 83-75. Jamel Horton led the Danes with 18 points, while Antonio Rizzuto, newly named captain of the Danes, added 16.
The second game in this series will be played later today.
