Atlanta, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - Balanced scoring and a dominant fourth quarter helped the NBAs hottest team to another win on Sunday. Kyle Korver hit 5-for-7 from long distance and led eight Hawks in double figures with 19 points as the Atlanta Hawks toppled the Washington Wizards 120-89 for their eighth straight win. DeMarre Carroll gave 16 points with four steals, Al Horford netted 15 points and Jeff Teague had 11 with a game-high 10 assists for Atlanta, winners in 22 of 24 since a 7-6 start. Atlanta has a 3 1/2 game lead on Toronto and Chicago for best record in the East. It kicks off a stretch of four road games in five days in Philadelphia on Tuesday. John Wall paced the Wizards with 15 points and eight assists, but he committed eight of their 20 turnovers. Atlanta turned the ball over just nine times as a team. An 8-2 run early in the third quarter helped the Hawks turn a five-point halftime lead into a 64-54 advantage. Walls jumper near the midpoint of the period had Washington within two when three Carroll free throws sparked another Hawks run. Pero Antic and Carroll hit 3s on consecutive touches on the 13-2 flurry, which Thabo Sefolosha capped with a tip-in at 1:19. Sefolosha followed his trey four minutes into the fourth with a drive and dish to Mike Scott for a layup. His outlet pass to Scott on the next possession led to a transition jam, a 20-point Hawk lead and a timeout. The Hawks outscored Washington 33-12 in the fourth to create the lopsided final.

Kulemin is out with a bone chip in his ankle suffered when he blocked a shot in practice Friday. "Its just a small bone broken in the ankle," coach Randy Carlyle said. "To say its not a significant injury would be incorrect. Its one of those things." The 27-year-old right-winger could have played on the injured ankle for a month because it wasnt a displaced fracture, Carlyle said, but the team and doctors decided not to talk that chance. Kulemin is wearing a walking boot to immobilize the ankle. The Leafs called up Spencer Abbott from the AHLs Toronto Marlies to take Kulemins spot alongside Joffrey Lupul and Nazem Kadri beginning with Saturday nights home opener against the Ottawa Senators. "He had a strong training camp for us and when he went back to the Marlies in the two exhibition games, from their coaching staffs advice, he was clearly the best player on the ice," Carlyle said. "So in our minds, thats what we asked for: Who was the best player in the situation when we lost Kulemin and we need a player thats going to come in and play higher in our lineup than what we have here, so weve done that." AA couple of weeks ago it looked like the Leafs wouldnt have any shortage of options.dddddddddddd Clarkson was slated to play big minutes on the right side, but the free-agent acquisition wont be available to play until Oct. 25 at the Columbus Blue Jackets after being suspended for the first 10 regular-season games for leaving the bench to enter an altercation in the pre-season. Toronto traded Joe Colborne, who would have likely been the top option to replace Kulemin, to the Calgary Flames for a fourth-round pick. The cap-strapped Leafs would have had to put the 23-year-old through waivers and risk losing him for nothing if they kept him around but he did not remain on the NHL roster. But those moves put the team in even more of a bind with Kulemin shelved. His spot on the penalty kill will have to be filled by committee, with Carlyle mentioning James van Riemsdyk, Dave Bolland, Mason Raymond, Carter Ashton, Troy Bodie and even Tyler Bozak as options. "Were going to need other people to step up and fill those minutes because as far as our first penalty-killing (forward) pair it was Kulemin and (Jay) McClement, so now we have to have somebody else step into that role," the Leafs coach said. Kulemin had two assists in the Leafs first two games of the season. ' ' '
