Into the Night: NBA Action and College Basketball

We head into the night with two pretty good NBA games and one interesting college game.

Cleveland @ Orlando: We get to see the other two contenders in the eastern conference tonight. Orlando's offense revolves around Dwight Howard around the basket and then moves out beyond the arc. Orlando is only behind New York in three-point attempts.

This is also Orlando's weakness. They live and die by the three. Also keep an eye on LeBron trying to go inside on the Magic to score. It will be great to see LeBron trying to go to the basket with Dwight Howard waiting for him.

San Antonio @ Phoenix: Only good things happen between these two teams. The Spurs have always been the thorn in Phoenix's side. They have knocked them out of the playoffs three out of four years. So yeah, these two teams don't care for each other.

Alabama @ Arkansas: O.K. the SEC play is not exactly the most competitive league this year in college basketball. But this is the first game since Alabama fired Mark Gottfried as their coach. It is always interesting to see how a team reacts after their coach has been fired.
