LeBron James/MIA sat out the Heat-Blazers confrontation, but Miami gutted out a 108-107 win. The Clippers beat the visiting Jazz despite being held to less than 100 points. The Suns cruised to a victory over the Sixers, while the Nuggets were no match for the Grizzlies. Kevin Love/MIN continued to roll and the Timberwolves had no trouble with the “current” worst team in the league, the Milwaukee Bucks. In the early game, Cleveland lost to Boston, with Andrew Bynum/CLE absent.
I was curious to see how the Thunder would react to the news of the loss of Russell Westbrook/OKC for the next few weeks. The Bobcats did their best, but could not stop Kevin Durant/OKC once he found his outside shot. Durant is the best I’ve even seen at making short range shots after driving to the hoop. When his outside jumper is working no defense can stop him. In the nightcap, Stephen Curry/GSW almost had a triple-double in the
In contrast to two days ago, all four games played last night were decided in the final minutes. Two of them went to overtime. In the other games, teams that had played the night before won against teams playing on extra rest. The Spurs kept their noses in front against the Mavericks, using their balanced attack to good effect. The Rockets looked like they were going down in flames to the Grizzlies, but when Dwight Howard/HOU got in foul trouble,
DraftStreet gave away $100,000 in one contest and 8,991 entries were there to get a share. The contest didn’t quite fill up and there was a bit of overlay to be had, but overall the Christmas Day 100K was a success. On the hardwood, the Knicks and Nets were embarrassed at home, while the Lakers hung in with the Heat to the final minutes. The Rockets seem to match up well with the Spurs as they pulled away in the

Apologies for the tardiness, but my area has been hit with an ice storm that has knocked out most internet services. The focus of last night was Oklahoma City’s visit to San Antonio. Tony Parker/SAS made a surprise return for the Spurs, while Kawhi Leonard/SAS sat out. The Thunder couldn’t get much going against the Spurs’ interior defense, but did shoot the ball effectively at the outside. OKC’s defensive effort won them the game and confirmed their spot at the
