THE BRAVES HOPE TO SNAP A SEVEN-GAME LOSING STREAK TO START THE SEASON AS THEY TAKE ON THE WASHINGTON NATIONALS.  BRAVES HAVE LOST ALL FOUR MEETINGS SO FAR THIS SEASON.  MATT WISTLER TAKES THE MOUND FOR THE BRAVES AGAINST LATE ADD TANNER ROARK.  SCHEDULED STARTED STEPHEN STRASBERG IS A LATE SCRATCH DUE TO ILLNESS.  FIRST PITCH IS AT 7.




THE HITS KEEP COMING OFF THE FIELD.  OUTFIELDER HECTOR OLIVERA WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AFTER REPORTS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.  THIS ALLEGEDLY HAPPENED AT THE BRAVES TEAM HOTEL AT THE RITZ-CARLTON IN ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA.  OLIVERA IS PUT ON THE M-L-B'S ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE LIST PENDING CHARGES.




THE HAWKS CLOSE OUT THE REGULAR SEASON AGAINST THE WASHINGTON WIZARDS.  ATLANTA HAS THE SAME 49-32 RECORD AS THE MIAMI HEAT WHO WILL BATTLE THE BOSTON CELTICS.  BOTH THOSE GAMES TIP OFF AT 8.



THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS LOOK TO MAKE HISTORY TONIGHT AS THEY HOST THE MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES.  WITH A WIN, THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS WILL SUPPLANT THE 1995-96 CHICAGO BULLS AS THE N-B-A'S WINNINGEST SINGLE SEASON TEAM WITH 73 OF THEM.  TIP OFF IS AT 10:30 EASTERN IN OAKLAND.


ALSO AT 10:30 EASTERN, THE LOS ANGELES LAKERS HOST THE UTAH JAZZ IN KOBE BRYANT'S FINAL N-B-A GAME.  KOBE PLAYED ALL 20 OF HIS N-B-A SEASONS IN A LAKER UNIFORM AND WILL LEAVE THE GAME THIRD ON THE ALL-TIME CAREER POINTS LIST.
