TRIPOLI, Libya - Libyans shouting for revenge buried Moammar Gadhafi's second-youngest son to the thundering sound of antiaircraft fire Monday, as South Africa warned that the NATO bombing that killed him would bring only more violence.

Joe Johnson provided his usual offensive spark. His biggest play, though, was getting a hand on a missed shot. Johnson scored 23 points and came up with a huge offensive rebound, leading the Atlanta Hawks to an 84-81 victory in Game 6 last night, knocking the visiting Orlando Magic out of the playoffs. The Hawks, who won the series 4-2, advanced to the second round for the third straight year, this time against top-seeded Chicago.

Although Robert Schanne, 43, does not deny that he had a relationship with Jenna Addis, now 26, he said that it started "well after" she was his student and that Addis last year fabricated a school-age romance only after she became jealous of his relationship with another woman, according to the lawsuit.

TORONTO - Dan Carcillo was disappointed. He wanted a piece of Maple Leafs defenseman Mike Komisarek, who nearly decapitated him with a hit from behind. Komisarek was given a game misconduct for the first-period hit. And Carcillo can thank the Boston Bruins' Zdeno Chara for not getting the opportunity to address the issue himself. Chara sent Montreal's Max Pacioretty to the hospital with a severe concussion and a cracked vertebrae on Tuesday, the result of a scary hit when Chara bounced Pacioretty off the turnbuckle in the boards near the Canadiens' bench.

Haddonfield's cheering section Friday night might have ruptured a few lungs in its enthusiasm to galvanize the host Bulldogs in South Jersey's biggest wrestling rematch of the season.
