Hello again friends. The last two nights have sure been crazy!
The Mavs took the Knicks by storm last night. Douglas, Stoudemire, Gallinari each scored 20 pts, but it still wasn’t enough to stop Nowitski from adding a double and double and scoring 29pts. With a score of 113-97, there’s no question the Mavs got some good rest there in New York.
Thunder took the season series last night with a 104-93 win against the Hornets. Durant stole the show with 43 pts, shooting 14-of-19.
And yeah, I didn’t want to but I had to check out the Blazer game too. Nuggets took care of home court by beating Blazers 109-90. Nene came away with 22pts and 10 boards, and Anthony and Billups scored 40 pts combined
Tonight, my girl and I yelled at the T.V. as Orlando failed to stop Miami and Lebron James. They fought back and fourth during the first quarter while Lebron James hit his first 11 shots and finished the first quarter with 23 pts. Wade woke up when he came up from behind and blocked Howard’s dunk, helping Miami gain a run of 6 strait pts. Orlando got their chance at a run when Howard accepted a pass from Richardson, but it wasn’t enough to bridge Miami’s 10-pt lead at the end of the 2nd quarter. James ended up scoring more than half of Miami’s 55 pts the 1st half and shot 12-14 from the field. I couldn’t help beating the pillow next to me in frustration during the 2nd half when Miami decided to play the perimeter defense. Ridiculous move for them considering Howard is Orlando’s deadliest weapon inside the key. Orlando fought hard to take advantage of this move and narrowed a 23 pt gap down to 6 pts. Unfortunately, they couldn’t stop Lebron James from scoring 51 pts, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists. Game ended at a close 104-100, causing Orlando to fall to a record 31-19. Maybe they can pick up the slack when they take on the Wizards this coming Friday night. Miami will also get their chance to bring their record to 36-14 when they visit Charlotte Bobcats that same night.
My Lakers sure did put up a good fight tonight. Both teams started off clumsy and neither team could hold the ball during the 1st quarter, causing it to end at a measly 22-18. Fisher and Artest helped the Lakers steal their way to the lead the 2nd quarter. But that moment of victory was short lived when Ginoboli and his off-balance shot took him to the free throw line to tie the game to 42-42. Both defenses tightened up as Parker drove everywhere and Kobe hit running jump shot after running jump shot. But the Black Mamba couldn’t keep the Lakers from trailing by 3 at the end of the 3rd quarter. If my mother could have heard me during the last quarter, she’d have me eating soap for a week! Both teams attacked the rim like crazy, but lady luck must have been smiling down on the Spurs (who knows why!!) as Duncan shot and missed the ball only to have McDyess second tip right at the buzzer, bringing the final score to 89-88. Spurs will try to bring their record 42-8 when the face the Kings this Saturday. And as for my boys, I’m praying they can bring their record to a 33-16 when they face New Orleans and Chris Paul.
Alright, time to get some sleep! Let's hope from some more Amazing tomorrow night.
