Dwayne Wade missed the game today against the Suns. So this really was a no-contest except for the last quarter when the Heat made a big push to cut a 25 point deficit to single digits. All kinds of bench players helped the Heat close the gap. Finally, Nash had to hit a big 3 and put some distance between the teams again. Now the streak is up to 12 straight and the Suns are on top of the Pacific Division on Dec 13-th! The Lakers lost at Dallas in-spite of the usual heroics by Kobe. Kobe had 33-7-4 and played some great defense too. You may hate the Lakers and Kobe, but you still have to be impressed by how talented this guys is and how hard he plays at both ends of the floor. Amazing, amazing player.
Washington blew out Denver despite Melo dropping in 37. Gilbert Arenas is just unstoppable at home. Utah dispatched the Clippers easily. Not sure what happened to the Clips, but they are nowhere near where they were at the end of last season. Cleveland won at home against Charlotte and Toronto upset the Magic. Andrea Bargnani is quietly having a good season.
Denver @ Washington - 91-120
Phoenix @ Miami - 99-89
LA Lakers @ Dallas - 101-110
Utah @ LA Clippers - 105-86
Interesting games on the board for tomorrow, the Dec 14-th (Thusday)
Surprisingly bad games on TNT. The non-TNT game looks like the best match-up of this day.
Houston @ Golden State - Should be a good game. Warriors play well at home, at least until the late 4-th quarter!
