NEW YORK (AP) -- Dwight Howard and Jeremy Lin got off to winning starts with their new teams.
Change is also working perfectly for the Indiana Pacers, who are delivering the type of offense Larry Bird wants.
Howard had six points and seven rebounds in about 18 minutes of his Atlanta debut, helping the Hawks to a 104-83 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night.
Howard is now playing for his hometown team, while Lin is back in the city where he was a breakout star with the New York Knicks.
