Milwaukee 89 Boston 98: Rajon Rondo carried the Celtics to their eighth straight win. Rondo scored all 11 of his points in the fourth quarter while dishing out 13 assists and grabbing nine rebounds. So much for the Bucks being the surprise team of the year. They have lost four in a row and their eighth in nine games. Brandon Jennings only scored 17 points in the game.Denver 95 Charlotte 107: Prediction, George Karl will be fired by the Nuggets at one point in this season. He's already complaining about working with an expired contract and talking about looking at other coaching positions. Getting beat by the Bobcats will also destroy your chances of keeping your job, especially when you let them go on a 20-8 run in the final six minutes. Not a good night at all for the Nuggets.
Sacramento 94 New Orleans 96: Well what else can I say about this game? The Kings had a chance to send this game to overtime from the free throw line. But Andres Nocioni missed his first free throw and then he committed an lane violation and turnover that basically ended the game giving the Hornets the victory. This victory gave New Orleans their sixth straight home victory.
Cleveland 109 Memphis 111 in OT: Crazy stat line of the night; the Grizzlies still beat the Cavs despite only receiving seven points from their bench. Cleveland should be ashamed of themselves. Former Ohio State player Mike Conley hit a layup with three seconds left in overtime to beat the Cavs. LeBron had a chance to win the game, but he missed a three-pointer and was left without the opportunity to dance.
Phoenix 101 Dallas 102: While the score says differently, this game was really never close in the fourth quarter. Phoenix hit three 3-pointers in the last 50 seconds to make this game close,but ultimately fell short and lost their third game out of four. Phoenix's offense continues to struggle as they only shot 44% from the field and only 36% from behind the arc. Josh Howard returned for Dallas after missing 13 games, scoring 20 points and grabbing 6 rebounds.
New Jersey 103 Chicago 101: Have you hit rock bottom if you lose to the Nyets? Because that is exactly what happened to the Bulls last night. Despite shooting a higher percentage from the field, the Bulls still lost? How did this happen? Well the Nets were much more balanced on offense that featured five different players in double figures on the night, while only Derrick Rose and Luol Deng were basically the only scoring threats for Chicago. How long can Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro continue to keep his job?

Dwight Howard is a beast. That's all.
