Magic 99, Bucks 82
Vince Carter, who has been playing awful as of late, finally put together a solid game to help the Magic put away the pesky Bucks.  Carter scored 17 points on seven of fifteen shooting, grabbed 10 rebounds, and actually had 7 assists.  This is the type of play that I think the Magic were hoping for Carter, who is currently shooting an abysmal 38% from the field this year.  Superman, Dwight Howard, put up his normal type numbers; 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 blocks.  Superman and …

Nets 103, Clippers 87
A congratulations is in order for the New Jersey Nets!  It only took 27 days for the Nets to win their first game in 2010 and I am sure Shooter could not be happier at this moment.  They were able to overcome not playing with Devin Harris and Courtney Lee due to injuries.  In Harris’ place, Keyon “The Combo Guard” Dooling stepped up with 18 points and 8 assists.  Kris Humphries (this is not a typo) abused the Clippers shooting 10-13, finishing with 25 points and 8 …

Hawks 102, Suns 101
You would probably think that a four point lead with 10 seconds left is safe, unless you’re playing Reggie Miller (and maybe, MAYBE Ray Allen). That just flat out wasn’t the case for the Suns on Friday in Atlanta.
Jamal Crawford hit a long 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Hawks a one-point win at home. The Hawks trailed by two with three seconds left and the ball. They inbounded to Crawford who took two dribbles and sank a monster three over Jared Dudley (is ugly) to …

Pistons 99, Wizards 90
The Detroit Pistons finally snapped their 13-game losing streak by beating the Washington Wizards at the Verizon Center.  Charlie Villanueva led the Pistons with 23 points (5-6 from three point range) and 9 rebounds off the bench in a game where the Pistons played without Ben Gordon and Tayshaun Prince.  Rip Hamilton and Rodney Stuckey both added 19 points in the winning effort.  Antawn Jamison led the Wizards once again with 31 points and 10 rebounds.  Randy Foye, who received the starting nod over Earl Boykins, had …

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 …

Lakers 111, Thunder 108
It’s a matchup that will be highlighted until the year Kobe retires: Kevin Durant vs. Kobe Bryant.
Each player has the potential to drop an immense amount of points on any opponent in the league on any given night. So would they do it against each other? Turns out they did!
The Lakers, back home from their east-coast roady, were led by Kobe’s 40 points (6th time this season with 40+) to overcome a 15-point first half deficit. The Thunder were led by Durant’s 30 points, but he fouled …

Cavaliers 85, Bucks 82
Through 24 minutes, the Cavs and Bucks had a terrific battle going on in Cleveland with the Cavs holding a 49-47 lead at the half. Then the ugliness happened.
The third quarter was not kind to Milwaukee, who was outscored 24-12 in the quarter. You’d think the game was over as the Cavs lead by 10 with about five minutes to go in the game. But THAT is when the Cavs nearly blew the game! Cleveland was up 85-75 and did not score in the last 5 minutes …
