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 [...]

Scola’s 28 Help Rockets Fend Off Undermanned Warriors 113-109

The Houston Rockets, in their game Friday night, had to make do without center Yao Ming who complained of foot pain prior to tip-off.  So guess who got the rare start?  None other than Dikembe Mutumbo.  While he was effective against the size-challenged Warriors, it was Luis Scola’s offense that helped the Rockets; but to [...]

Shorthanded Warriors Defeat Hornets 111-103

Typically if you’re an NBA team and you’re short a few players, then you’re usually at a distinct disadvantage.  Consider the Golden State Warriors as one of those teams yet a funny thing happened on Friday night at Oracle Arena.  In their game against the New Orleans Hornets, they suited up only 7 players; one [...]

Warriors Win Third Straight, Fend Off Trail Blazers 105-98

The Golden State Warriors, if anything else, are actually building some momentum going into the All-Star break, having won two straight prior to Thursday night’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers at Oracle Arena.  They got solid efforts from Corey Maggette, Stephen Jackson and Monta Ellis, with Ellis hitting some clutch baskets late in the [...]

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 [...]
