Free Throws T-Wolves Undoing, Pacers Prevail 112-105
The Indiana Pacers were without Danny Granger – out for the foreseeable future with a torn tendon in his right foot – for Friday night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves; fortunately for them, Marquis Daniels managed to pick up on the offensive end as he scored 24 points.

T-Mac For Baron Davis Deal Brewing?
It appeared that New Jersey Nets swingman Vince Carter was a lock to be dealt to the Houston Rockets, but the NBA being the strange bird that it can be at times – especially around the trading deadline – can spring some surprising rumors. The latest rumor has Houston Rockets guard Tracy McGrady going to [...]
Chandler A Hornet Again, Fails Thunder Physical
I am guessing that the New Orleans Hornets breathed a collective sigh of relief as center Tyson Chandler failed his physical performed by the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday; this effectively cancels the deal that had originated when New Orleans sent Chandler to the Thunder for Chris Wilcox, Joe Smith and DeVon Hardin. No specific reason [...]
Carter In Center Of Trade Tornado
Vince Carter, all of a sudden, is a commodity in demand in light of the fact that the trading deadline is on Thursday. And there are plenty of suitors for Carter’s services, it appears, according to ESPN.com.
