New York Knicks Defeat Through Golden State Curry's Greatness of 54 Points

Felton's blocked shot led to J.R. Smith's tiebreaking basket with 1:10 left, and the Knicks overcame Curry's NBA season-high 54 points to beat the Golden State Warriors 109-105 on Wednesday night.
Tyson Chandler had 16 points and a career-best 28 rebounds for the Knicks, who won their second straight after a season-high, four-game losing streak. Amare Stoudemire had 14 points and Anthony added eight assists on the day the Knicks learned they could be without reserve forward Rasheed Wallace for the rest of the season because he needs surgery to repair a broken bone in his left foot. This game between Golden State and The New York Knicks was a tough game throughout the four quaters. Curry was the star of the night but Carmelo and the rest of the Knicks pulled through with a win stopping Golden State at the last 1:30 from the game, playing great defense throughtout the final seconds.

Lakers Won In Remembrance of Dr. Buss

Playing their first game since Buss died, the Lakers earned an emotional 113-99 victory over their greatest rivals on Wednesday night.

Dwight Howard had 24 points and 12 rebounds, Kobe Bryant added 16 points, Steve Nash and Earl Clark had 14 apiece, and Metta World Peace 12 in a game that surely would have delighted Buss.

Paul Pierce scored 26 points for the Celtics, who fell to 8-17 on the road and lost their third in a row away from home. Courtney Lee added 20 points and Kevin Garnett had 12 on 6-of-14 shooting. The Lakers provided a win for Dr. Buss, their owner, him struggling through cancer and couldnt go to the game in his suite box and his special chair. So in remeberance they engraved his name in The Lakers lockerroom to keep him in their hearts.  The Lakers improved to 26-29 and gained a split in the season series, having avenged a 116-95 loss to the Celtics on Feb. 7 when they trailed by 32 points. The Lakers shot 51 percent in the first half and had four players in double figures, helping them to a 64-55 lead. Howard was energetic in scoring 15 points and setting screens reminiscent of his days with Orlando. Bryant had 14 points, Nash 12 and World Peace 10.

Josh Smith Getting Traded From The Atlanta Hawks?

Smith is looking and becoming traded from the Atlanta Hawks because he was a free agent but is now looking to commit to one team and progress from that one team. Smith is a great athletic player and would be great for a team to have him. Yet a Boston deal for Smith, sources said, would almost certainly have to be built around Paul Pierce, because Kevin Garnett isn't waiving his no-trade clause to go to the Atlanta Hawks if he's not willing to waive it to go to the Clipperland. And the prospect of Celtics front-office chief Danny Ainge exiling Pierce to the Hawks for Smith, after everything Pierce has done to restore the Celtics to glory over the past half-decade, is still hard to imagine. One team close to the situation consulted Monday night predicted that the Nets would ultimately land Smith via a three-way trade after ESPN's Chris Broussard reported Feb. 11 that Smith is a prime Brooklyn Nets trade target. Another team pinpointed the Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks as the strongest contenders to win the Smith sweepstakes. The big worry for both of those teams, though, is whether they could really risk trading for Smith when convincing him to re-sign for the long term is likely to be a serious challenge in either city. Especially with Smith said to be angling for a max deal … and with nobody confusing the Suns or the Bucks with Mikhail Prokohorov's Nets.

LA Clippers Victory Over LA Lakers

Paul had 24 points and 13 assists, Griffin scored 18 of his 22 points in a spectacular first quarter, and the Clippers cemented their supremacy in Los Angeles with a 125-101 victory over the Lakers on Thursday night. Chauncey Billups hit five 3-pointers while scoring 21 points for the Clippers, who never trailed as they roared into the All-Star break by clinching the season series in their city rivalry for the first time in 20 years. The Clippers have won the Staples Center co-tenants' first three games of the season, with Los Angeles' longtime underdogs burying the 16-time champions in this latest meeting under a wave of 16 3-pointers.
Kobe Bryant had 20 points and 11 assists for the Lakers, who head to the break in 10th place in the Western Conference, four games below .500 with little reason to suspect things will get a whole lot better -- particularly without Pau Gasol, who's likely out until April with the latest in their series of serious injuries. This became a rivalry game and was close the whole time but the Clippers started hitting their shots and becoming a great defensive team on the Lakers. Covering Kobe with two people then retracking the defense as they move the ball across the floor.

Miami Heat On Their Seventh Straight Win Over OKC

With LeBron James playing at his best level yet, the Miami Heat powered into the All-Star break with a reminder to the Oklahoma City Thunder that the NBA championship still resides on South Beach.
James had 39 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists and narrowly missed extending his record-setting streak of high-scoring games combined with top-notch accuracy, as the Heat trampled Oklahoma City 110-100 in a Thursday night showcase.
James was in position to continue his NBA-record run of games with at least 30 points and 60 percent shooting to seven but missed from a couple of steps beyond the 3-point line as the shot clock ran down with just more than a minute left and Miami up 10. With a 7th winning streak, The Heat are on top in the Eastern Conference. It being it a close game towards the end, the Heat became unstoppable their their moving the ball and shooting percentages.

Chris Bosh chipped in 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Heat, who won the last four games of last season's Finals after losing Game 1 in Oklahoma City and continued their dominance in the series after winning on their home court on Christmas Day.

Miami Heat as First Seat In The Eastern Conference After The Win Against The Los Angles Lakers

On Sunday February 10, 2013 The Miami Heat came with a close and big win against the Los Angles Lakers 107-97. Lebron James scored 32 points on 12-for-18 shooting in a record-setting show, Dwyane Wade scored 30 points on their fifth straight win streak.
It was James' fifth straight game with at least 30 points, a franchise record. He also joined Adrian Dantley (1979) and Moses Malone (1982) as the only NBA players to score at least 30 and shoot at least 60 percent in five straight outings. He is trying to be on top and make history by being in the Heat.
Mario Chalmers scored 13 and Chris Bosh finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Heat.
Kobe Bryant had 28 points and nine assists for the Lakers, who also got 18 points from Earl Clark. The Lakers had eight turnovers in the fourth quarter, while Miami had none. So now the Miami Heat are 2 games higher than the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference. Everyone on the Heat contributed but Wade and Lebron became clutch.

Celtics Rivalry Win Over The Los Angeles Lakers

It was even more special, and perhaps surprising, that the win gave the Celtics a 6-0 record since losing point guard Rajon Rondo for the season with a torn knee ligament. The Celtics came with a big win over The Los Angeles Lakers 95-116. Their rivalry showed as they were playing, especially Paul Pierce and his stats with 24 points that game. Kobe Bryant did as much as he can do with Gasol out because of a torn plantar placia in his ankle and Howard's sore shoulder from missing out a couple games.
Garnett reached 25,000 points with an 11-foot turnaround jumper that gave him six for the game and put the Celtics ahead 39-29 with 8:08 left in the half. Jeff Green had 19 points and Jason Terry added 15.
Bryant scored 27 to lead the Lakers, who had won their previous three games but suffered their worst loss of the season. Howard had nine points and nine rebounds in 28 minutes before fouling out with 5:07 left.

Miami Heat Stops The Houston Rockets Scoring Lead and Finishes With A Win

MIAMI -- On a night when the Miami Heat allowed more than 11 points over their season average, and against a team that has made scoring look amazingly easy over the past couple of weeks, three plays in the final minute made all the difference.
And all were on the defensive end playing how they play and what their known for.
Mario Chalmers and Udonis Haslem each took a charge in the final 46 seconds, Dwyane Wade blocked a 3-point try by James Harden to essentially seal the outcome, and the Heat held off the Houston Rockets 114-108 on Wednesday night. Dwayne Wade became a clutch ignitor for the game last night even defensively with James Harden not allowing him to make threes. The Miami Heat stopped the Rockets from their title from having the high percentage team of scoring. That gam eas you can see became difficult for them, allowing the Heat to get their 24 straight win.

Kobe Bryant's Recognition VS Brooklyn Nets

 

They were sure dangerous in Brooklyn, where Bryant threw down that dunk out of his wildly athletic youth in the final minutes of the Lakers' 92-83 victory, blowing by Gerald Wallace and down the lane and slamming it right in Kris Humphries' face. Kobe Bryant became clutch that game and showed all the Nets fan how its done and also had them to their feet in applause. They say now Kobe is becoming like Micheal Jordan but in reality I think Micheal is still better but of course Kobe isnt too far away from that.

That attitude drove Bryant to the five rings and the 30,834 regular-season points, only 358 behind Jordan's sum. Kobe will pass Michael on the all-time scoring list in short order, but baskets alone won't vault him past Jordan on the unofficial ranking of NBA legends.

Tyson Chandler With The Oustanding News

The latest came Monday night against the Pistons, when Chandler scored eight points and pulled down 20 rebounds. He earned a place in the Knicks' record book in the process, becoming the first Knick with three consecutive 20-rebound games since Willis Reed accomplished this feat in the 1969-70 season. Tyson Chandler has become an All-Star with his motivation and driveness from wanting to get the championship ring and by the looks of his games it proves it. Having the stats he has now as a power forward is incredible and is for now unbreakable in New York Knicks League. Tyson Chandler motivates me to work harder and to proceed to continue practicing as much as he does getting to where hes at now. Ranked high in the NBA League.

LA Lakers Luckily Victory Over Detroit Pistons

Andre Drummond has been a revelation. Not only is he playing like someone who should have been the second pick in the draft (instead of the ninth), but he has executives and coaches thinking he can be the best player from this class. Yes, better than No. 1 pick and national collegiate player of the year Anthony Davis.

But as amazing as Drummond has been, and as bright as the future looks in Detroit, there is still a huge learning curve for him to undergo if he is going to be an All-Star-level performer, which is absolutely in his wheelhouse. (That's what an 18-point, 18-rebound game as a 19-year-old will do for your projected future.)
One of the most accurate free throw shooters in NBA history had missed two, giving the Detroit Pistons one more chance at a game-winning shot. Kyle Singler lobbed the ball toward the basket, and rookie Andre Drummond stretched his 6-foot-11 frame and tried a one-handed dunk with Pau Gasol defending.
No good. The Lakers held on for a 98-97 victory.
Gasol had 23 points and 10 rebounds and was the last line of defense on Detroit's final alley-oop attempt Sunday. The Lakers blew an 18-point third-quarter lead but overcame their late free throw struggles to win for the fifth time in six games.
Los Angeles has won two in a row without Dwight Howard. The All-Star center sat out again with a right shoulder problem.
Kobe Bryant's driving three-point play with 1:09 remaining gave the Lakers a 98-95 lead, and they held on despite missing four free throws in the final 16.8 seconds.

Celtics Suprising Win Over LA Clippers

BOSTON -- The Celtics keep rolling without Rajon Rondo
Not even a late comeback by one of the NBA's best teams could keep Boston from beating the Los Angeles Clippers 106-104 on Sunday and improve to 4-0 since a knee injury ended their star point guard's season
The Clippers played without their own brilliant point guard. Chris Paul missed his seventh straight game with a bruised right knee cap.
But they cut a 98-83 deficit to 103-101 on a 3-pointer by Eric Bledsoe with 56 seconds remaining. Then Bradley drew an offensive foul on Los Angeles' Jamal Crawford with 26 seconds to go.
Paul Pierce then held on to the ball -- and was surprised that the Clippers didn't foul him -- before making a 3-pointer with 2.5 seconds left to clinch the win and finish with a team-high 22 points. with players missing from both teams they both pushed and played to their advantage. This game was a complete shock to those Clippers fans but a victory to those Celtics fans.

Heat Victory Over Toronto Raptors

After their game, they delayed their fligth and ended up watching the superbowl at a bar in toronto where the raptors were sponsored. Bosh seemed motivated into beating his old team again through what they put him through. The final score waas 100 to 85. Rudy Gay made 25 points as a leading score and Lebron James had 30 points 8 rebounds and 7 assists.
