NBA notes - 1/12/2007

It's official folks. The Mavs are the best team in the league and they might even have the best player in the league in Dirk Nowitzki. He sored 43 pts. and had 15 boards for the Mavs against the Pacers and it took each one of those points to beat them by 2 in OT. Pacers tried, but they just could not put away the Mavs. They are just too good.

Dwight Howard had another good game (25-10), but that was not enough against Kobe's 28-8-7. Smush Parker had a nice 26 point game for the Lakers. Shane Battier scored 25 for the Rockets to take care of the Nuggets. They didn't need much from T-Mac in this one. Wade had 22-10-9 as Miami crushed the Warriors who seem to be in a big slump now. They lost 2 more guys to ankle injuries in the game - Mickael Pietrus and Adonal Foyle.

Orlando @ LA Lakers - 106-109
Houston @ Denver - 90-86
Dallas @ Indiana - 115-113

Interesting games on the board for the Jan 13-th (Saturday)

Wasington @ San Antonio - Can Gil go into the Lion's den and steal a victory? I doubt it.

Orlando @ Phoenix - Dwight, Grant and gang continue their Western swing at Phoenix. I am sorry for them.

Miami @ Utah - Wade against the good, physical Jazz team. Heat are on a roll since Wade returned.

Cleveland @ LA Clippers - Cavs have to beat the Clips to establish some consistency.

Houston @ Sacramento - T-Mac takes Houston to Sacramento, which is not as difficult a place to play as it used to be. But this could still be a good match-up.
