Tweet of the Night goes to Jared Dudley, who took a playful jab at former teammate Grant Hill after he hashtagged “lobcity” to indicate his official signing with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Tweet of the Night goes to Darren Rovell, who pointed out a very disturbing fall in value of Madison Square Garden shares.
