Bulls Shoot 56%, Trample Kings 109-88

No matter what NBA team you are, chances are that if you commit over 20 turnovers and shoot nearly 37% from the floor, the likelihood of your team losing is very high.  That’s exactly what the Sacramento Kings did in their game against the Chicago Bulls.  Of course, it didn’t help the Kings that the [...]

Warriors Enjoy Balanced Scoring, Swat Away Hornets 91-87

Even the elite teams are mortal – ask the New Orleans Hornets.  Against the Golden State Warriors on Friday night, they had easily one of their worst shooting nights of the season as they shot only 35.9% from the floor; the end result was Golden State holding off New Orleans 91-87 at New Orleans Arena.

Dunleavy Pours In 30, Pacers Cool Off Heat 114-103

The Indiana Pacers, by and large, are a decent team with just Danny Granger as their big gun on offense; perhaps they can now be better as Mike Dunleavy is finally getting his shooting touch back after being absent 34 games with a sore knee.  Dunleavy had his best offensive game of the season as [...]

Explosive First Half Boosts Mavericks, Rout Warriors 117-93

The Dallas Mavericks, in their game against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday, apparently were running on all cylinders as they shot nearly 50% from the floor; what sealed the win for the Mavericks was the fact that they set a season high for points scored in one half with 69 first-half points, allowing Dallas [...]

A Ford Runs Over The Bucks, Pacers Prevail 107-99

The Indiana Pacers, in their game against the Milwaukee Bucks Wednesday night at Conseco Fieldhouse, were without their leading scorer, Danny Granger due to a sore right knee; but to be fair, the Bucks were without their leading scorer, Michael Redd because of a season-ending injury (torn MCL and ACL), so it somewhat evened out [...]

Seven Magic Players Hit Double-Figures, Out-Race Pacers 135-111

The Orlando Magic, in their game against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night, proved why they could possibly be the team to beat in the East as they had seven players in double-figures – with three of them scoring at least 22 points each – while shooting 54.9% from the floor, with the end result [...]
