The 31-year-old center had 19 rebounds and 11 points in Atlantas season-opening 114-99 win over Washington on Thursday.The great thing about adding Dwight to our group and something that Dwight is embracing and cherishing is that we play as a team, Budenholzer said.Everybody steps up, everybody contributes. Dwight is going to have great, big nights. A day like today was maybe not his day. Muscala, Paul and Kris (Humphries) were great. Its much more a positive than anything.Dennis Schroder displayed the playmaking ability the Hawks are counting on with him taking over for Jeff Teague as the teams point guard. After getting two assists in the opener, Schroder had 11 to go with 11 points against Philadelphia.Joel Embiid and Sergio Rodriguez had 14 points apiece for the 76ers.The Hawks reserves (51 points) had nearly as many points (53) as the starters.It says a lot, Millsap said. Our bench is great. Our bench did a great job of coming in and sparking a nice, little run for us. This game, last game, they did a great job of doing that.Millsap scored four points during Atlantas 8-2 run to open the fourth quarter, capped by Muscalas 17-foot jumper for an 82-60 lead.After sitting out for two years because of a foot injury, Embiid dazzled the home crowd with 20 points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes in Wednesdays season-opening loss to Oklahoma City. The third overall pick in the 2014 draft, Embiid had trouble staying on the court in the opening half against Orlando.Moments after chants of Trust the process! Trust the process! serenaded Embiid on the free-throw line, the crowd erupted in the second quarter when Embiid blocked Howards shot attempt.Embiid had to go to the bench seconds later after picking up his third foul. The Hawks took advantage, outscoring Philadelphia 17-10 from that point to enter the intermission up 53-39.Philadelphia could get only within 10 points in the third quarter on Jerami Grants highlight-reel reverse dunk.

The rookie is a product of nearby Saint Josephs. He received cheers when he entered with just under six minutes left.Bembry said he had a bunch of people in attendance from St. Joes. One thing he didnt have while back in Philadelphia, though, was a cheesesteak due to the recent removal of a wisdom tooth.MORE MINUTESEmbiid, on a minutes restriction because of his foot injury, played 15 minutes.With the minutes he played, he clearly helped us, Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. -- Jerry Sandusky listened quietly during Day 2 of his three-day appeals hearing Monday, as his lawyers continued to argue for a new trial or for the reversal of his 2012 child sex abuse conviction.On the first day of the hearing, when Sandusky testified, his lawyers focused on what they claimed was ineffective counsel. On Monday, at the Centre County Courthouse, Sandusky attorney Al Lindsay specifically argued that a grand jury leak and the conflicting statements of Victim 2 did not give his client a fair trial.Victim 2 and one other victim did not testify during the 2012 trial, while eight others did. The prosecution did not call him as a witness because they believed he wasnt fully credible. Retired Cpl. Joseph Leiter testified Monday that, shortly before Sandusky was arrested, the man known as Victim 2 denied that Sandusky abused him.I hope we tried to make this clear, Lindsay said near the steps of the courthouse. All of these witnesses that testified against Sandusky had significant credibility problems.Sandusky offered no testimony Monday. He instead sat silently in a red jumpsuit, with his family looking on in the front row. He iss currently serving a 30- to 60-year sentence in Greene State Prison after being found guilty on 45 of 48 counts of child sex abuse.ddddddddddddA majority of the four-hour hearing focused on the abuse of Victim 2, who previously self-identified as the boy that former Penn State coach Mike McQueary spotted in the shower with Sandusky in 2001. But Lindsay said he could not call the man known as Victim 2 to the stand.We havent been able to find him, Lindsay said.The last day of Sanduskys appeals hearing begins 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. Among those whom the defense plans to call to the stand include two state prosecutors involved in the 2012 case, Joseph McGettigan and Frank Fina.Lindsay does not anticipate the judge will issue a ruling Tuesday.Sandusky previously lost direct appeals to the states Supreme and Superior courts. The Monday hearing falls under the states Post-Conviction Relief Act and is confined to newly discovered evidence, constitutional violations and ineffective lawyering.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
