Kobe had a horrible shooting night today against Raja Bell and the Suns as he shot 7/26 for 17 points. The Suns offense struggled in the second half, but still the Lakers never really threatened. Nashty had a MVP game as he had 26 points and 14 dimes. Amare had 15-16 but shot just 4/16. Nash carried the offense as the other Suns had trouble shooting tonight. Good win for the Suns and a bad loss for the Lakers who lost their 4-Th straight. Now they are just half a game ahead of the Warriors and the Clippers. The W's are on a roll right now as they beat the Kings in Sacto. They poured in 74 points in the first half and looked unstoppable in this game except the 3-Rd quarter. Oakland and Sacramento are about an hour and a half apart and traditionally the Kings fans travel to Oakland for their road games and have a good time. This has been happening for 7 or 8 years as the Kings have been a playoff fixture and the Warriors have been horrible, and an easy ticket to get for the Kings fan. For the first time since I can remember, the roles were reversed today as the Warrior fan took over Arco. The Kings players and their fans were shocked to see that. Very few people know how committed the Warrior fans are because they have not been a story in the NBA for about 13 years. But they have one of the most committed fan bases in the league, especially by flaky Californian standards.
Toronto showed something to the Detroit Pistons today as they won the game with a monster 4-Th quarter. CB-4 had 18-16 and Anthony Parker is the story in Toronto these days. He led them with 21 today. No Billups for the Pistons and Rip's 24 was not enough as he got zero help. Utah won at big D, but a tainted win because the Mavs have nothing to play for and are just chilling. Nowitzki missed their previous game and it was J-Terry's turn now as he accompanied J-Stack on the bench. Booze had 32-15 to lead the Jazz.
LA Lakers @ Phoenix - 85-93
Detroit @ Toronto - 84-87
Utah @ Dallas - 104-89
Golden State @ Sacramento - 125-108
Interesting games on the board for Apr 14-Th (Saturday)
Phoenix @ Utah - Phoenix has never won against Utah this season. Big game for the Suns.
