Sixers 108, Nuggets 105
In their second meeting since the return of Allen Iverson to Philadelphia, the Sixers held off a late surge by the Nuggets to win at the Pepsi Center.
Despite having an 8 point lead in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, some big shots by Ty Lawson (23 points) ended up putting the Nuggets within 1 point with seconds to go. After a Willie Green missed the second free throw, Andre Iguodala came up with a huge offensive board, sending him to the line. After he missed …

Knicks 112, Hawks 108

My mom had family and friends over for dinner today, so I had a crowd of Knicks “fans” (they’re coming out of the shadows these days) over to watch this game with me. This game can be summed up in two words: Nate Robinson. Just a week ago, Nate was looking to be dealt, as he hadn’t played a game in 30 days leading up to this game. The Knicks were 9-6 in December so no one was really complaining. Well, now that we’re in January, Mike …

The end of 2009 is not only the end of a year; it includes the end of a decade. Despite there only being a handful of dominant teams in the league during the last 10 years, there has been a tremendous amount of superstar players and memorable moments. The NBAtoday.net staff has their fair share of memories from the last decade ranging from the best players to personal recollections.

10 years, 5 players. It’s hard enough to pick the best player at each position for this season, let alone …

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 …

Spurs 100, Pacers 99
I’ve never played in the NBA (shocker), and I’ve never played against Tim Duncan. But I imagine defending him is pretty tough and that you can’t take anything for granted.
That seemed to be the case on Saturday night in San Antonio for Roy Hibbert and the Pacers. With the Spurs down by 1 point in the waning seconds of the game, Hibbert blocked Duncan’s initial attempt at the lead, but Duncan grabbed the ball right after and through it down hard to give the Spurs the lead …

Lakers 107, Bucks 106 (OT)
If you can prevent Kobe Bryant from making a buzzer beater once, you better make sure he doesn’t get another chance. Sorry Bucks fans, Kobe got that second chance.
After missing a shot from the left wing as time expired in regulation, the game moved to overtime tied at 95. The Bucks were able to build a 6-point lead with under two minutes left, but that didn’t stop the BEST player in the NBA. With 5.4 seconds left, Kobe took the inbound and went back to that …

Lakers 106, Jazz 77

This was quite possibly, one of the clearest games to ever show how good the Lakers are this year. Up two points entering the fourth quarter, the Lakers told the Jazz they weren’t going to score double digits in the fourth quarter…and they weren’t lying. Maybe the whole team took shots of Hennessy during this game.
That’s G: Kobe 27 points, 8 assists, and 6 rebounds. Good ball.
That’s Pee: THE JAZZ HAD 6 POINTS IN THE FOURTH QUARTER. C’MON FELLAS!!!
Spurs 118, Kings 106
Amidst a three game losing streak, …
