    Philadelphia, PA - The Philadelphia Phillies claimed outfielder Jordan Danks off waivers from the Chicago White Sox on Friday. Kevin Knox Jersey . Danks split last season between the White Sox and the minors. The 28-year-old played 51 games at the big league level and hit .222 with two home runs and 10 RBI. In 180 career major league games over three seasons, Danks has hit .227 with eight home runs and 26 RBI. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said the team was attracted to Danks power and outfield defense. Enes Kanter Jersey . Which is to say, the top of this years draft class is not as dynamic or exciting as the 2013 class of Nate MacKinnon, Sasha Barkov, Jonathan Drouin and Seth Jones and its not as strikingly promising as the highly-anticipated 2015 slate of Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel and Noah Hanifin. Courtney Lee Jersey . Gustafsson controlled the first round after getting top position on a throw, and came out much more forcefully in the second, buckling Manuwa with a Muay Thai knee, and finishing him off with strikes on the ground.ATLANTA -- Kyle Korver hopes to be able to sleep better now that his chase for the NBA record for consecutive games with a 3-pointer is over. Korver made a 3 for a 90th straight game, Al Horford scored 22 points, and the Atlanta Hawks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 108-89 Friday night. Korvers 3 with 5:29 remaining in the first quarter broke a tie with Dana Barros (1994-96). "It feels good, Im glad its done" Korver said after scoring 10 points and making 2 of 3 from beyond the arc. "My naps the last couple (game days) havent been very solid. Im the product of good team basketball, of setting screens and (getting) good passes and floor spacing and all of that. "Theres a lot of thanks to go around ... players who arent here, coaches who arent here this year and this group in here. I just said, Thank you." Korver has made 47 per cent of his 3-point shots (235 of 502) during the streak. Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said he didnt think the team went out of its way to get the 11-year veteran from Creighton the ball in position to break the record, but admitted that his players might say otherwise. Korver missed his first try just 1:03 into the game as fans rose from their seats as he rose to shoot. Everybody in Philips Arena stood up again just an instant before the record-setter swished to give Atlanta an 18-10 lead. "DeMarre (Carroll) passed up a wide-open shot to try to get him the ball, and I gave up a transition try," said Atlanta point guard Jeff Teague, who scored 13 points. "I wish I made the pass." That honour went to forward Paul Millsap, who scored 16 points and tied his season high with 14 rebounds to help offset a season-high 30 points off the bench by Clevelands Dion Waiters. Millsap, who was also a teammate of Korvers with the Jazz, was more proud of his assist to Korver than anything else. "Im in the history book now," he said with a smile. "Im in awe to see something like that. Teams focus on keeping him off the 3-point line, and for him to do that for so long is an amazing accommplishment. John Starks Jersey. ." Atlanta (11-10) won with balance as seven Hawks scored in double figures and the home team had little trouble with the Cavs (6-13), who fell to 1-10 on the road. Jarrett Jack added 13 points off the bench for Cleveland, but all Cavs other than him, Waiters and Bynum (20 points, season-high 13 rebounds) combined to shoot 12 for 50. Cleveland starters Kyrie Irving and Alonzo Gee went scoreless. Irving, who entered the game averaging 20.8 points per game, shot 0 for 9. Atlanta raced to a 37-20 lead in the first quarter while Korver made two of Atlantas five 3s in the period. Millsap connected from 50 feet as the buzzer sounded. Atlanta did not make a 3 in the second quarter, yet built a 63-43 halftime lead as Millsap had 14 points and seven rebounds in the first two periods. Cleveland went on a 12-0 run in the third quarter, pulling to 77-60 on Bynums putback. Waiters and rookie guard Matthew Dellavedova hit 3-pointers on consecutive possessions to pull the Cavs to 84-72 early in the fourth before Atlanta steadily pulled away. Waiters shot 13 for 20 shots, but lamented the Cavs slow start and lethargic showing. "Weve got to come out with a sense of urgency," he said. "Its frustrating to have to keep talking about the same thing over and over. "Supermans not coming in the locker room to help us. Its just us. Were all weve got so at the end of the day weve got to come out and play, play the right way, too." Cleveland entered the night having won back-to-back games for the first time this season, but was never really in this game. The Cavs trailed 77-48 in the third quarter. "Weve got to come out, weve got to compete for 48 minutes," Cleveland coach Mike Brown said. "Weve got to find a grittiness ... Im not worried about Kyries shot. Hes going to make enough shots." NOTES: Hawks reserve post man Gustavo Ayon suffered a left ankle sprain and a left leg contusion in the final minute of the game. His status for Tuesdays game against the Thunder was not announced. Cheap Heat Jerseys Cheap Bucks Jerseys Cheap Timberwolves Jerseys Cheap Pelicans Jerseys Cheap Knicks Jerseys Cheap Thunder Jerseys Cheap Magic Jerseys Cheap 76ers Jerseys Cheap Suns Jerseys Cheap Blazers Jerseys Cheap Sacramento Kings Jerseys Cheap Spurs Jerseys Cheap Raptors Jerseys Cheap Jazz Jerseys Cheap Wizards Jerseys Cheap Warriors Jerseys ' ' '
