Yes, I know these are late... I'm doing today's matches now as well, they should be up tonight

Toronto 104 @ Indiana 111
Concesco Fieldhouse

In former Pacer Jermaine O’Neal’s return to Indiana, the Raptors had a failed comeback attempt to fall 104-111. In the dying seconds, Pacer Mike Dunleavy goaded Raptor Chris Bosh into fouling a 3 point attempt, giving the Pacer’s forward 3 shots from the line, sealing the win. Meanwhile, the Indiana fans obviously didn’t approve of O’Neal’s move to Toronto, with the former All-Star receiving boos whenever he got on the floor. Dunleavy had 22 points for the Pacers, and teammate Danny Granger had 23. For the Raptors, Bosh had 25 points, and Andrea Bargnani had 20.

San Antonio 87 @ Philadelphia 109
Wachovia Centre

6 straight wins to the Sixers has put them in a good place. Thaddeus Young scored 27 to smash the San Antonio Spurs in Philadelphia. Andre Iguodala added 21 for the Sixers. Tim Duncan had 20 for the Spurs, and teammate Matt Bonner had 13 for San Antonio. The Sixers created a stir when, in 3 consecutive quarters (1st, 2nd, 3rd), they got long range buzzer beaters to fall.

New York 89 @ Washington 96
Verizon Centre

Late in the game, the Washington Wizards sparked a 15-0 run with an Antawn Jamison lay-up, and managed to steal a win from the New York Knicks. Jamison led the Wizards with 28 points. Mike James contributed with 19 points, and Nick Young finished with 13 for the Wizards. The Knicks were led by Al Harrington’s 18 points, Wilson Chandler’s 16 points, and David Lee’s 15 points and 21 rebounds. The win for the Wizards meant that the Wizards avoided a full sweep of the season against New York.

New Orleans 78 @ Cleveland 92
Quicken Loans Arena

Coach Mike Brown tickered with his lineup against the Hornets, and it paid off. LeBron James had 29 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists to help his Cavs easily defeat the Hornets. Sasha Pavlovic added 19 points, while Mo Williams had 17 and Wally Szczerbiak had 15. David West had 23 points, and Chris Paul had 18 for New Orleans. James Posey and Paul were both ejected from the game in the final minutes.

Utah 101 @ Memphis 91
FedEx Forum

Deron Williams scored 27 points for the Jazz, and is getting back to his old form for the Utah Jazz as they defeated the Memphis Grizzlies. Ronnie Brewer added 21 points in the winning effort. Rookie guard O.J. Mayo added 23 points, and Hakim Warrick and Mike Conley managed 15 apiece. Marc Gasol also contributed with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Darius Miles made another appearance, thus placing $18 million on the Portland salary cap for the next 2 years. Rudy Gay only managed 5 points.

Detroit 79 @ Oklahoma City 89

A franchise first – consecutive wins. That may sound silly, but to the people of Oklahoma City, this is no joke. After defeating the short-handed Utah Jazz, the Thunder have gone on to defeat the Detroit Pistons, a team that is still very much in title contention. Kevin Durant dropped 32 points in the upset win while Chris Wilcox had 17 points and 11 rebounds and Desmond Mason had 11 points and 11 rebounds. Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince led the Pistons with 18 points, but Prince had to leave towards the end of the 3rd, after landing awkwardly after a dunk.

Minnesota 105 @ Phoenix 103
US Airways Arena

The Minnesota Timberwolves initiated yet another surprise upset, with a late run sealing a 2 point win over the Phoenix Suns. Al Jefferson had 22 points and 12 rebounds to lead the T’Wolves, while Craig Smith had 18 points, Rodney Carney had 17 and Randy Foye had 15. Kevin Love finished with 17 points, and 14 rebounds. For the Suns, Shaquille O’Neal and Leandro Barbosa had 22 points, and Amare Stoudamire had 19. This was the Sun’s 3rd loss in their last 11 home games.

Milwaukee 129 @ Sacramento 122
ARCO Arena

Michael Redd was on fire for 3 quarters, but it was Charlie Villanueva who came up big when it counted for the Bucks. Redd finished with 44 points, and Charlie V had 15 of his 24 in the 4th to sink the struggling Kings. The Bucks played without Australian centre Andrew Bogut, who was suffering back spasms. John Salmons and Kevin Martin each scored 24 for the Kings. Luke Ridnour added 17 for the Bucks, and Richard Jefferson and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute both scored 15. For the Kings, Jason Thompson had 22 points, Brad Miller had 20 and Beno Udrih had 14.

Atlanta 114 @ Golden State 119
ORACLE Arena

The woes for the Atlanta Hawks continue, with the Hawks falling to the Golden State Warriors in Oakland. Jamal Crawford had 29 for the Warriors, while Stephen Jackson added 24 and Corey Maggette had 24 points, 16 rebounds. The Hawks have now lost 6 of their last 8 games. Joe Johnson had 25 points, while Maurice Evans added 21 and Mike Bibby had 20. With Al Horford already sidelined, the injury woes for the Hawks seem to have grown as well, as Marvin Williams was taken to hospital after hitting his head on the court due to a Ronny Turiaf foul.

Orlando 109 @ LA Lakers 103
STAPLES Centre

The Orlando Magic came to Laker town, and the atmosphere wouldn’t have been out of place in a playoff’s match. But, the Magic help their own behind Dwight Howard’s 25 points and 20 rebounds, and Jameer Nelson’s 28 points. Kobe Bryant had 28 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, but it didn’t help his Lakers down the stretch. Both teams have played the same amount of games so far this year, and the Magic have had 1 more win than the Lakers. All the other Magic starters reached double-digit scoring – Rashard Lewis had 15, Hedo Turkoglu 13 and Courtenay Lee 12. Lamar Odom had 17 points for the Lakers, while Vladimir Radmanovic managed 15 and Andrew Bynum got 14. After the game, Kobe Bryant indicated that he thought Jameer Nelson was playing at an all-star level.

Yeh, they both surprised me.

Happy with Redd's 44 points against the Kings though!
