Houston clinches home-court - NBA notes - 04/16/2007

Suns lost at Houston today as Mike D'Antoni surprisingly didn't rest his starters including Nash. They played close to regular minutes and still lost as both T-Mac and Yao went nuts. T-Mac had a near triple double as he had 39-11-9 and Yao had 34-9. Houston now has the home-court against Utah in the first round though Utah is the 4-th seed. Amare and Marion both had good games for the Suns with 30 and 27 points. Nash had 15 dimes in the loss in 33 minutes. D'Antoni is saying they are having fun playing and will try to play and win until the last game.

San Antonio on the other hand rested Timmy, Tony and Manu as they lost to Memphis. This team is in top form for the playoffs now. In New York, Vinsanity's "half-amazing" side was on display as he had a triple double - 29-12-10. Nets beat the Knicks to end another lottery season for the Knicks. May be the NBA can fix the lottery again and give them Greg Oden!

Big games tomorrow. Warriors at home against the Mavs and the Clip-joint on the road against the Suns. The question is, will the Mavs and the Suns rest their stars completely or even partially?

Phoenix @ Houston - 117-120

Interesting games on the board for Apr 17-Th (Tuesday)

Dallas @ Golden State - Could be a playoff preview. If Golden State makes the playoffs that is. W's need a win here.

LA Clippers @ Phoenix - The Clips need a win badly here but D'Antoni is suggesting he may not rest the starters.

Toronto @ Detroit - Toronto beat Detroit last week at home. They would love to do this on the road.
