Hot Shooting, Balanced Offense Helps Mavericks Destroy Knicks 128-78
I know I’ll catch some flak here from the New York Knicks fans, but their game Sunday afternoon against the visiting Dallas Mavericks was easily their worst effort in recent memory – and most definitely their worst this season. The Mavericks shot a scorching 58 percent while the Knicks shot an anemic 33.7%, which was [...]
Big Second Quarter Helps Raptors Stomp Mavericks 110-88
The Dallas Mavericks, by and large, are a focused team most nights.

Toronto Raptors Strengths: Power forward, point [...]
Yao Makes Heat Say Ow, Rockets Win 93-86
One must think that the Houston Rockets salivated knowing that their opponent in their game on Saturday night was the Miami Heat, who are definitely an undersized team by NBA standards. And as you’d expect, Rockets center Yao Ming took advantage of the size differential, scoring 26 points (shooting a perfect 12-of-12) as Houston defeated Miami [...]
