Raptors 95, Sixers 84
Bosh 27 Pts Williams 16
Bosh 11 Rebs Dalembert 17
Calderon 7 Asts Iguodala 6
Random Notes: The Raptors were outrebounded by 23, but they did almost everything else better than the SIxers.
Nets 95, Wizards 85
Carter 21 Pts Jamison, Stevenson 14
Lopez 8 Rebs Butler 11
Carter 6 Asts Butler 5
Random Notes: You lose most games when you shoot 37% from the field. Having your starting power forward got 1-8 from three is probably a bad thing too. It’s called the paint, Antawn. reacquaint yourself with it.
Hawks 99, Magic 85
Johnson 25 Pts Howard 22
Smith 10 Rebs Howard 15
Bibby, Horford 4 Asts Johnson 3
Random Notes: As noted above, you lose most games when you shoot 37%. Teams shot a combined 20% from three and missed 23 total free throws. 18 blocks in a game is nice to see, though.
Heat 115, Knicks 120
Wade 26 Pts Crawford 29
Marion 11 Reb Lee 11
Wade 9 Asts Robinson 7
Random Notes: Despite some fairly even numbers, this game wasn’t close until the end. In his first game, Michael Beasley shoots 4-14. Way to kick off that MVP campaign, dude.
Pacers 94, Pistons 100
Granger 33 Pts Prince 19
Murphy 15 Rebs Wallace 7
Ford 5 Asts Billups 7
Random Notes: 33 points for Danny Granger. Someone mentioned him as being a really good player...
Suns 103, Spurs 98
Stoudemire 22 Pts Duncan, Parker 32
O’Neal 13 Rebs Thomas, Bonner 7
Nash 13 Asts Parker 5
Random Notes: Duncan and Parker scored 64. The rest of the Spurs scored 34, and 20 of those were from Roger Mason and Matt Bonner. Ginobili should get better sooner than later.
Kings 96, Wolves 98
Salmons 24 Pts Jefferson 21
Hawes 14 Rebs Jefferson 10
Salmons 8 Asts Miller 6
Random Notes: It’s good to be a young big man. If Love grabs one more board, then all four have a double double.
Bucks 98, Thunder 87
Jefferson, Redd, Villanueva 20 Pts Wilcox 15
Villanueva 12 Reb Wilcox 7
Ridnour 5 Asts Westbrook, Watson 4
Random Notes: Giving up 20 points to three different guys is a bad thing. But it is the Thunder, so it’s not totally unexpected.
Grizzlies 71, Rockets 82
Gay 20 Pts Yao 21
Arthur 15 Reb Scola 13
Conley, Lowry 3 Ast McGrady 5
Random Notes: The Rockets won an ugly game by getting to the free throw line more than the Grizzlies. Veteran teams pull those types of wins out.
Hornets 108, Warriors 103
West 24 Pts Maggette 27
Chandler 16 Rebs Biedrins 12
Paul 11 Asts Jackson 5
Random Notes: Note to Al Harrington. If you’re down in a game with the clock inside of a minute and you pump fake to get your defender off his feet, jump into him.
Nuggets 94, Jazz 98
Iverson, Martin 18 Pts Boozer 25
Martin, Andersen 6 Rebs Boozer 14
Iverson 8 Asts Price 5
Random Notes: To kick off their new defensive minded game plan, the Nuggets gave up 47% shooting and committed 27 fouls. Just like George Karl drew it up.
Lakers 117, Clippers 79
Bryant 16 Pts Thornton 16
Gasol, Bynum 9 Rebs Thomas 8
Gasol 6 Asts Davis 7
Random Notes: Every Laker with a jersey on scored, seven of them in double figures. Heck, only one Clipper didn’t score. Extensive garbage time, as Marv would call it.
