Posted in The Miami Heat are recently just coming off a three-game losing-streak, and it could be counting. It first started off with a miraculous buzzer-beating, game-winning shot by Rudy Gay for the Memphis Grizzlies to clinch a 97-95 victory. Gay got it right over LeBron James, who played great defense. But it wasn’t enough to stop [...]

Brown Shines, Lakers Hold Off Bulls 98-91
Usually when I or any of the other correspondents here at Slam Dunk Central write about the Los Angeles Lakers, the discussion usually revolves around four players: Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and on occasion Lamar Odom. The aforementioned four are what make the Lakers who they are. That doesn’t minimize the rest of Los Angeles’ [...]
Granger Helps Pacers Mow Down Cavaliers 100-89
Danny Granger, as of late, has seen his game evolve. While we all know and acknowledge that he could always shoot the rock, his defense has taken a turn for the better too. And the Indiana Pacers are all the better because of it. Fresh off a huge win in Miami, the Pacers returned home [...]

The phrase certainly applies to the game Monday night between the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat at American Airlines Arena. Neither team shot very well (The Pacers [...]
Lakers Blow Out The Warriors On Gasol’s Perfect Night
Any team that plays against the Los Angeles Lakers need to do one of the two followings to have a shot at winning — lights out perimeter shooting or tough interior defending to neutralize the Lakers’ frontline. When a team goes into STAPLES Center and does neither of the two, that team will get embarrassed, [...]
Late Free Throws Help Raptors Nip Celtics 102-101
One thing that can be agreed upon by most: the Boston Celtics do indeed play tough defense. Unfortunately for the team lately, that hasn’t been the case lately as they have collapsed late in the fourth quarter. Their loss to Oklahoma City on Friday is a good example of what can happen when your defense [...]
Kobe Bryant – The Call of Duty
Seem familiar? It should. It’s the new Call of Duty: Black Ops by Activision and TreyArch. After Infinity Ward got knocked off the development of the new C.O.D. franchise, Trey Arch hauled butt to prove that they can still deliver an award-winning title. It’s no surprise that they spent a pretty penny on marketing; [...]
