Kobe backed up his 65 point night against the Jail-Blazers with 50 against the T-Wolves. The only way the Lakers can win these days is if Kobe goes over 40 or 50. Not a great strategy to win games especially since the whole story of the first half of the season for the Lakers was the "new, ball-sharing, teammates-trusting Kobe". Now it's a different game and the Lakers are barely clinging onto a playoff spot. Kobe became the first Lakers player with consecutive 50-point games in 44 seasons. Only two other players have recorded back-to-back 50-point games in the last 10 years. Antawn Jamison did it in December 2000 against Seattle and the Lakers (51-51), and Allen Iverson did it in December 2004 against Milwaukee and Utah (54-51). KG had a 26-15-6 night and Ricky Davis had 33-6-6. It should suck for them to lose after playing that well.
Dallas today beat a Detroit team without Chauncey Billups. It was another close game that the Mavs won at the end. Nowitzki seems to be continuing his pursuit of the MVP crown after that minor setback against Nash and the Suns. He had 28-12 today. Heat finally lost today against the Orlando Magic. Magic won on the road and Shaq's 20 was not enough. Houston won by 50 at Phily. Surprising considering the Rockets sometimes play like they just want to score 50 in the entire game and win it defensively. The Kincks won against the Raptors easily to stay just half a game behind the 8-Th playoff spot.
Dallas @ Detroit - 92-88
Minnesota @ LA Lakers - 102-109
Toronto @ New York - 74-92
Interesting games on the board for Mar 19-Th (Monday)
