Inside the Paint: Break Up The Wizards

91 Detroit 99 New York: Another day another loss for Detroit who's record is now down to 14-26 on the season. Here's what makes the Eastern Conference the worst conference in professional sports, Detroit is only 5 games out of a playoff spot with a 14-26 record. Go figure.



92 Portland 97 Washington: Break up the Wizards! They are now on a two game winning streak. The Wizards are 3-5 since Gilbert went six shooters in the sky. Of course Washington beat a Portland team missing Brandon Roy, Greg Oden, Travis Outlaw, and Joel Przbilla. But still, they haven't rolled over since losing Arenas indefinitely.

94 Oklahoma City 91 Atlanta: Kevin Durant hit his average last night scoring 29 points and grabbing 5 rebounds. Jeff Green's dunk and made free throw with 12.2 seconds remaining sealed the Thunder's 23 win of the season. Green scored 15 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.



97 San Antonio 90 New Orleans: Despite Marcus Thornton blocking Tony Parker's layup attempt, New Orleans still lost. The Spurs had a 38-12 free throw advantage in the game as Tim Duncan threw up another double-double, 21-14. Despite having the layup blocked, Parker did score 25 points against Chris Paul who only scored 18 points.



99 Dallas 90 Boston: Dirk Nowitzki scored 37 points against a Boston team without Kevin Garnett and with Rasheed Wallace in foul trouble. Give credit to Dirk for abusing the ginger Brian Scalabrine. Jason Kidd added 17 assists in the game as Dallas only won their second of four games. Boston has now lost three straight home games.

92 Orlando 98 Los Angeles Lakers: Despite holding Kobe to 11 points on 4-for-19 shooting, the Magic still managed to lose. Shannon Brown outscored (22) the entire Orlando bench, while Lamar Odom out rebounded (16) the entire Orlando bench. Dunk contest participant Shannon Brown attempted to dunk on Dwight Howard in the game and was promptly rejected.

Video of the Night: By far, the best dunk of the night.
