NBA notes - 12/14/2006

San Antonio won easily against the Hornets after some sarcastic criticism of the team's effort by Gregg Popovich. Charlotte upset Orlando behind Sean May's 32. He is having some big games these days. This is the third straight loss for the Magic, and the second straight against some bottom-feeders. Magic better get back on track soon.

The best game of the day was the Rockets-Warriors game in Oakland. Baron Davis won it on the final shot, a three pointer with a second to go to cap off a 34 point day. Yao was dominant with a 38-18 night and Tracy Mcgrady did not suit up. Rockets went ahead by 4 when Yao hit a tough fade-away with 38 secs to go. Monta Ellis missed a 3, but then an amazing thing happened. Not only did Mike Dunleavy get a tough rebound, he put it back for 2 and got fouled doing it. Then he shocked the entire arena by hitting a free-throw. A clutch free-throw by a Warrior has not been witnessed in 2 years! Now it was a one-point game, Yao missed a shot, Baron dribbled it up-court and hit a long 3 to pretty much ice it. Nelly's teams are always fun.

Houston @ Golden State – 107-109

Interesting games on the board for tomorrow, the Dec 15-th (Friday)

Golden State @ Phoenix – Should be run, gun and fun, but a win for Phoenix.

Houston @ LA Lakers – Elite teams with injuries. Lets see if McGrady plays and who wins.
