Hawks' Smith protects against cramp

"Atlanta forward Josh Smith took an IV and got a massage before Saturday's game against Indians as a precaution after cramping up against San Antonio Friday night.

Smith sustained the leg cramp blocking a shot by the Spurs' Tim Duncan, tried to play through it and then went to the bench when it continued to bother him.

He went back into the game and then cramped up in his quadriceps muscle. Smith, who said he'd cramped up one other time this season, has never had the problem before in his career.

"I should be OK," he said.

He played 16 minutes in the first half with no visible distress."
