11/5 review

Miami Heat 104 Toronto Raptors 95

               Chris Bosh missed this game due to the birth of his daughter and the Heat missed Bosh early on. Jonas Valanciunas had his way with the Heat early scoring 10 first quarter points. The Raptors scored 42 points in the paint but they couldn’t stop the Heat in the paint allowing 48 points. Chris Anderson did a great job of stopping Valanciunas after his hot start. LeBron had a monster game he finished with 35 8 and 8. Dwyane Wade added 20 points and Ray Allen was a game high +21 and had 14 points.

Indiana Pacers 99 Detroit Pistons 91

               This was an ugly game in the first half the score was 41-38 Pistons. That included a nine point second quarter by the Pacers. But in the second half the Pacers started to hit their shots especially Paul George who finished with 31 points on 66% shooting. The Pacers finished the game shooting at 52% and 42.9% from three on 21 shots. The Pistons were cold the whole game shooting 38% and 20% from three on 25 shots. The Pistons lost this game because they couldn’t hit a shot. THE PACERS AND BULLS PLAY TOMORROW!!!

Charlotte Bobcats 102 New York Knicks 97

               This could end up being the worst night of the season for the Knicks. Not only did they get outworked at home by the Bobcats but Tyson Chandler left the game with a knee injury and it doesn’t sound good Chandler has a MRI on Wednesday. If Chandler is gone for a long period of time the Knicks will be in a lot trouble. For the game itself it was ugly for the Knicks they were out rebounded by 18. The Bobcats made 34 free throws compared to the Knicks 19. Amar’e Stoudemire was awful he had five turnovers in 11 minutes, he’s clearly not the player he once was and at this point he is a bad NBA player. Carmelo Anthony had 32 points but he wasn’t great either he was 10 of 28 from the field Melo might have been tired at the end of the game considering Mike Woodson had him log 44 MINUTES!!! That’s uncalled for this early in the season.  This is a good obviously a big win for the Cats they were without Al Jefferson but this is all about the Knicks and Mike Woodson’s refusal to use a small lineup. The Knicks are 16-1 when Felton and Prigioni start but Woodson refuses to start them.

Phoenix Suns 104 New Orleans Pelicans 98

               Don’t look now but the Suns are 3-1! This was a close game throughout but the Suns were able to pull it out. They shot 50% from the field while the Pelicans shot 43.5% every other stat was identical in this game. Eric Bledsoe had 25 points and shot 10 of 12 from the field. The Morris twins added 33 points for the Suns. Eric Gordon led the Pelicans with 20 points.

LA Lakers 104 Dallas Mavericks 123

               The Mavs led at the half 67-48 without Dirk Nowitzki scoring. This is the score you should expect when you have Mike D’Antoni as a coach. The Mavs shot 52% and outrebounded the Lakers by 15. Monta Ellis finished with a game high 30 points. There’s not much analyst needed for this game the Mavs are just better.

San Antonio Spurs 102 Denver Nuggets 94

               The Nuggets had control of this game until the fourth quarter where they were out scored 30 to 16. The Nuggets had 22 turnovers and couldn’t stop the Spurs in the paint 54 points in there. Tony Parker has a game high 24 points. This is about the Nuggets who just flat out went cold in the fourth they shot 3 for 18.

Houston Rockets 116 Portland Trail Blazers 101

               James Harden 33 points and Dwight Howard 29 points dominated. The Rockets shot at 54.7% and outrebounded the Blazers by 17. They also dominated the paint scoring 54 times down there. The Blazers made this game close in fourth they cut the lead to 5 then Patrick Beverley hit a three and the Rockets took it home from there.

Atlanta Hawks 105 Sacramento Kings 100

               The Hawks looked like they had an easy victory heading into the fourth they were up 87-72 the crowd was booing. But then all of a sudden the Kings started to play basketball and cut the lead to one with 2:46 left. The Kings had a chance to tie the game with 9 seconds left Isaiah Thomas led the Kings with 26 points and took a three to tie it up but he came up short. Paul Millsap and Al Horford each had a double double for the Hawks.
