Lakers Lose Third Straight, Magic Prevails 96-94

One would think that with the Los Angeles Lakers and Orlando Magic lacing them up for a basketball game at Amway Arena, scoring would have been plentiful. While that wasn’t really the case, the Magic had a player they could rely on not named Dwight Howard. The player in question? Vince Carter. Carter made his [...]

Spurs Win Fourth Straight, Muffle Grizzlies 102-92

Saturday night wasn’t exactly the best of nights for the San Antonio Spurs in their game against the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedEx Forum. While they did shoot well, got balanced scoring as six Spurs scored in double-digits and did defeat Memphis 102-92, they paid a heavy price for the victory. Tony Parker broke a [...]

Anthony’s 34 Helps Nuggets Outlast Pacers 122-114

The Denver Nuggets had some negatives going against them as they entered Friday night’s game against the Indiana Pacers at the Pepsi Center. They had lost two straight road games to the Lakers and Suns; but to be fair, they did thrash Oklahoma City on Wednesday. But they also had some injuries to deal with [...]

Smith, Horford Helps Surging Hawks Stifle Warriors 127-122

The Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks got together for a game Friday night at Philips Arena in which featured a pair of teams that are polar opposites. The Warriors are a team in search of an identity, of sorts; to be fair, they have an up-and-coming rookie in Stephen Curry. Meanwhile, the Hawks have a [...]

Duo Of Wade, Richardson Trump Kobe’s 39; Heat Edge Lakers In OT 114-111

As good as Kobe Bryant is, even he cannot carry a team by himself (does that sound eerily familiar?). Proof of that was illustrated on Thursday night when the Los Angeles Lakers visited American Airlines Center to take on the Miami Heat. Bryant had one of those big nights of his (39 points), but the [...]

Melo Outplays Durant In Nuggets 119-90 Rout Of Thunder

The Denver Nuggets, arguably the second-best team in the NBA, and the Oklahoma City Thunder, easily the most improved team in the league as of right now, got together at Pepsi Center for what promised to be a competitive, high-scoring game. At least half of the billing was correct. While the first half was relatively [...]

Howard, Magic Overwhelm Warriors 117-90

The Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night came to Amway Arena in a sorry state, personnel-wise. They were undersized, as usual, but also undermanned as they were missing Corey Maggette, Vladimir Radmanovic, Andris Biedrins, and most importantly, Monta Ellis. On the flip side, their opponent, the Orlando Magic, was at full strength, and it showed [...]

Durant, Westbrook Help Thunder Throttle Kings 113-107

The Oklahoma City Thunder, up until Tuesday night’s game against the Sacramento Kings, had a perfect 2-0 record during their home stand at the Ford Center, defeating Minnesota and Toronto handily. This game was the third and final game at home before they go on a Western road trip. While the Thunder and Kings both shot north [...]
