Sources: Warriors acquiring Dennis Schroder from Nets

  The Warriors are also receiving one second-round pick from the Nets and sending three second-round picks to Brooklyn in the deal, sources said. Schroder has been one of the best guards in the NBA this year, pushing the Nets into play-in contention in the Eastern Conference early in the season. The Nets entered the weekend in 10th place in the conference and four losses back of the No. 6 seed. Melton, signed to a one-year deal this offseason, went down with a torn ACL last month and is out for the remainder of the season. The Warriors have struggled without him; after a hot start to the year, Golden State has lost seven of their past nine games. Schroder fills several needs for the Warriors, including a much-needed additional point guard who can handle the ball, potentially help the second unit get organized, make outside shots and provide Steve Kerr with another veteran.

Georgia weathers 'unfortunate' overturned call to beat No. 1 Texas

"Now, we've set a precedent that if you throw a bunch of stuff on the field and endanger athletes that you've got a chance to get your call reversed," Smart said. "And that's unfortunate because, to me, that's dangerous. That's not what we want, and that's not criticizing officials. That's what happened."

"Nobody gave us a chance," Smart told ESPN. "Your own network doubted us. And then they tried to rob us with calls in this place. These guys are so resilient."

Georgia's defense sacked Texas' quarterbacks seven times and had 10 tackles for loss. The Longhorns finished with only 259 yards of offense, including 29 rushing. Texas went 2-for-14 on third down and 1-for-5 on fourth.

Georgia, playing at Texas for the first time since 1958, handed the Longhorns their first loss of the season. Texas was the last remaining unbeaten team in the SEC. According to ESPN Research, it's the first time since 2007 that every SEC team lost before the end of October.

In a city that prides itself on keeping things weird, a crazy sequence of events nearly helped the Longhorns get back in the game.

Initially, officials penalized Barron for pass interference, giving the ball back to the Bulldogs. Referee Matt Loeffler announced the call to the crowd and walked off the 15-yard penalty to the Georgia 44.

Texas fans booed the call while watching replays on the stadium's jumbotron. Some threw debris into the north end zone, stopping play for a few minutes. While staff members and security cleaned up the bottles, officials conferred again and reversed the call.

When Loeffler told Smart about the reversal on the sideline, the Georgia coach told him, "You can't do that! You can't do that! ... That's bulls---!"

"Now, we've set a precedent that if you throw a bunch of stuff on the field and endanger athletes that you've got a chance to get your call reversed," Smart said. "And that's unfortunate because, to me, that's dangerous. That's not what we want, and that's not criticizing officials. That's what happened."
