Dallas won a tough game today on the road at Sacto even without Dirk Nowitzki. Mavs were able to close out a close game at a tough place without Dirk. This should do their confidence a lot of good. They showed their talent, versatility and depth. Josh Howard led the way with 29-8, Jason Terry had 27 and Stack had 23. All 3 stepped up to compensate for Dirk's offense and they sure can. Artest had 25 in the loss.
Toronto beat Miami at home the other day, but it was Miami's turn today. They won by 3 as Shaq had 16-12 with 3 blocks. He is a factor again and with Wade starting to practice, high hopes and interesting times in Miami. The Heat are still a game behind the Raptors for the third spot in the L-East. Melo' 31 was more effective than Kobe's 39 on this night as the Lakers lost to Denver at home. Denver is a 1.5 behind LA. It's not often you see somebody jacking up 7 shots more than AI, but given Kobe's current run and AI's reduced role as a scorer these days, I guess Kobe can't be blamed too much.
Bron-Bron came back from his knee injury and had 31-12-6 today as the Cavs won against the T-Wolves. Looks like the Cavs are doing really well with Larry Hughes at point and Sasha Pavlovic in the starting lineup. Suns won on the road at Memphis in a game that got a little too close for comfort. Amare had 27 and scored 11 straight at one point to seal the deal despite his foul troubles. Nash had a perfect shooting night - 4/4 from the field, 3/3 from 3 and 4/4 from the charity stripe. That's 15 points to go with 17 dimes. I don't know how this guy does it, but he just does. Matrix filled up the box score with 17-12-2-3-3 and the Brazilian blur scored 24. Tayshaun Prince scored 24 as the Pistons dumped the Pacers pretty easily. Tay is having a great run lately. It's been fun watching this guy's game evolve in the NBA coming out of Kentucky. Not bad for a 23-rd pick. How many guys thought he would have the career he is having? Me neither.
Dallas @ Sacramento - 97-93
Toronto @ Miami - 89-92
Denver@ LA Lakers - 111-105
Interesting games on the board for Apr 4-Th (Wednesday)
Chicago @ Detorit - It feels like Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland play each other every other day. Can't complain because it' the L-East and they don't have anything better.
LA Lakers @ LA Clippers - Who's the better team in LA?
