It isn’t every day that the Minnesota Timberwolves have seven – yes, 7 – players score in double-digits, but that’s what they did while shooting almost 49% in their game against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night. Randy Foye led the T-Wolves with 19 points as Minnesota got the hard-earned 116-111 win over Indiana at [...]

Spurs’ Big Three Deliver, Edge Warriors In OT 110-105
The San Antonio Spurs, I think, are finally getting into that gear called overdrive; by that analogy, I mean that they finally seem to be able to overcome deficits to pull out victories on a somewhat regular basis. In any case, the Spurs, in their game against the Golden State Warriors on Monday night, do [...]
Suns Shoot Lights Out, Embarrass Kings 129-81
Words escape me when describing the Monday night game between the Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns at US Airways Center.

K-Mart’s 37 Helps Kings Edge Thunder In OT 122-118

So what do the Magic do? They let Bosh have open looks at the basket; their unusual strategy [...]
Artest, Ming Combine For 52; Rockets Soar Past Warriors 110-93
If the Houston Rockets could get Tracy McGrady back in time for the playoff stretch run – preferably much sooner – they could be one dangerous team. As it were, they have Yao Ming and Ron Artest to pick up the offensive slack while T-Mac’s away; both would prove to be the key in the [...]
Harrington Enjoys Homecoming, Knicks Beat Pacers 122-113
The New York Knicks’ visit to Conseco Fieldhouse to take on the Indiana Pacers was a homecoming, of sorts; current Knicks forward Al Harrington and team president Donnie Walsh were part of the Pacers franchise a while back. Coincidentally or not, Harrington put the smackdown on the Pacers as he scored 31 points, leading New [...]
