Denver went in to Utah and won a big game finally. Melo had 32 and AI had 22 points with 12 dimes. Looks like this combo and the whole team is clicking finally. Melo seems to be the first scoring option with AI helping him out with distributing the ball and also scoring in bunches when needed. AK-47 didn't play for Utah in this one, and you wonder what happened to this guy? He is so versatile, but seems to be very injury prone. And this year, he is just averaging 8.5 points even when he plays. With Boozer back, Deron Williams more experienced and Okur playing much better, AK-47 seems to be the forgotten man. They need him to do well if they want to do some damage in the playoffs.
Orlando, Washington and Sacramento played some spirited ball on the road against all odds, but came up a little short against superior teams. Orlando lost at Detroit in a close one. Dwight Howard had a bad shooting night though he grabbed 16 boards to go with his 12 points. Grant Hill had a great shooting night to score 22 points at his old stomping grounds, but Chauncey Billups was just too good with 28 points and 8 assists. Miami won it's first game since Wade returned. Good for them they are not playing the Bobcats! They won even without the Daddy, though the game was a little too close for comfort. In San Antonio, the visiting Kings wouldn't go away, but the Spurs just stepped on the gas in the fourth and put the Kings away. Timmy had 26-13 as he is clearly rounding in to his playoff form. April through June is Timmy-time in the Alamo. They are rarely losing these days and the Suns won at home against Seattle to stay 2 games in front of the Spurs.
Denver @ Utah - 115-106
Orlando @ Detroit - 99-104
Interesting games on the board for Apr 12-Th (Thursday)
