Chicago 104, Houston 97
One team is on the rise as the other is on the decline.

Houston (24-19) has not played their best ball in January. The Rockets are 4-6 after starting 20-13, and a loss at home to the Chicago Bulls (20-22) is a clear cut sign of a troubled team. However, let’s not take away from the Chicago Bulls. After Vinny Del Negro was publicly announced to be bamboozled, the Bulls have been great and Derrick Rose is playing like we thought he would. Rose dropped 20 points, but …

Bucks 113, Raptors 107
Despite 44 points and 12 rebounds from Chris Bosh, the Raptors still lost a close game.  This game basically proves that the Raptors, despite being in the playoff mix, are NOT a good team.  These guys just don’t play defense and that includes Bosh.  When you give up over 100 points per game, you usually don’t win.  The Bucks were led by 27 and 12 from Andrew Bogut who carried the team with Delfino who had 22.  The Bucks committed just 7 turnovers all game and shot …

Cavs 106, Hawks 101
Going into this game, LeBron James was 0-3 when playing on his his birthday.  Today, he celebrated it in style.  James had 48 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks on the night he turned twenty-five.  The Cavaliers were down by as many as 9 points in the third quarter but fought back in the fourth outscoring the Hawks 29 to 16 to pull away with a five point win and a sweep of the home and home series.  With the score tied at …

Thunder 98, Bobcats 91
In the match up up the two -cat teams (Thundercats/Bobcats) the Thundercats reined supreme.  Kevin Durant scored 30 points on the night making it the 3rd consecutive game in which Durant scored 30 points or more.  With the win the Thunder are now back to one game over .500 with their next game coming on Monday in NJ.  The NBA’s leading rebounder, Gerald Wallace, had an off night rebound (6) and shooting as well (13 points 3-9).  The Bobcats were outrebounded by 12 on the night.
Clown of …

Pistons 90, 76ers 86
Allen Iverson had another shot to get his first win in his second term with the Sixers (5-17) against a former team.  Iverson and the Sixers were unable to get the job done losing their eleventh straight.  Iverson scored 11 points against his former team on 3-10 shooting.  Andre Iguodala led the Sixers with 18 points following by Elton Brand’s and Samuel Dalembert’s 17 points each.
Allen Iverson hit a pull up jumper to tie the game at 86, but Rodney Stuckey followed his own blocked shot and …
