Turnover-prone Nets fall to Heat 91-87
The New Jersey Nets outshot and outrebounded the Miami Heat, yet they found a way to lose tonight at East Rutherford, NJ, 91-87. That’s right - turnovers did them in. Any time you commit twenty-six turnovers during a game, chances are pretty good that you’ll lose.
Before the game, Nets head coach Lawrence Frank, in what […]

Hot shooting keys Pacers win over Jazz 117-97
The Indiana Pacers found a cure for erasing a six-game losing streak - red-hot shooting.

Warriors’ Jackson set to start Sunday vs. Toronto
While last night’s impressive victory over the Los Angeles Clippers is not an indication, it is apparent that the Golden State Warriors are a team that is tickled pink to have forward Stephen Jackson back into the fold. So glad, in fact, that according to Geoff Lepper of the San Jose Mercury-News, Jackson will be inserted into […]

Odom powers Lakers past Pistons 103-91
The Los Angeles Lakers on most nights rely on guard Kobe Bryant to score with regularity. Tonight wasn’t a good example of that request; however, they had a secondary resource, one Lamar Odom. Odom’s output made up for Bryant’s off-night as the Lakers beat the Detroit Pistons at Staples Center Friday night.
The game was close […]

Martin’s career-best 43 help Kings outlast Knicks in double OT 123-118
I think it is safe to say that Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Martin is becoming the team’s go-to guy when it counts the most. Martin’s 3-pointer capped a Sacramento 9-2 run in the second overtime that boosted the Kings to a win over the New York Knicks 123-118 at Arco Arena.
The game was nip-and-tuck throughout, […]

Golden State Warriors center Andre Biedrins scored a season-high 23 points as the Warriors won their first game of the season, routing the Los Angeles Clippers 122-105 at Oakland. Probably the most unusual part of the game was the fact that […]

Celtics Barely Keep Streak Alive Beat Miami 92-91
The Boston Celtics are very, very, very, lucky that they are not 7-1, instead of still being the only unbeaten team in the NBA at 8-0. Boston allowed a big lead that they held on the Miami Heat in the second half due to sloppy and lackadaisical play. But a key layup by Paul Pierce […]
