Charlotte 80 @ Detroit 78
Palace of Auburn Hills

Literally a last second jumper was the deciding factor in this showdown at the Palace. Charlotte’s Raymond Felton shook off the trade rumors, and nailed a jumper with 0.7 seconds left in the match to clinch the win for the Charlotte Bobcats. Felton finished on 23 points, while Gerald Wallace got 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Bobcats. Emeka Okafor also contributed with 13. On the Pistons, Rodney Stuckey led with 22 in Rip Hamilton’s first game back with the Piston. All 5 of the Detroit starters (Stuckey, Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, Tayshaun Prince and Allen Iverson) finished with double digit scoring. On a heartwarming note, 4 Pistons starters went to the Bobcats bench at the start of the game to give Bobcats coach Larry Brown a hug. Wallace, Hamilton and Prince were part of Brown’s championship Pistons in 2004, and Iverson played under Brown in Philadelphia.

Miami 99 @ Minnesota 96
Target Centre

Anything you can do, I can do better. That was the attitude that Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves brought to the match, and he took it to one of the biggest names in the game – Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat. And he almost succeeded in giving his team the win, as the fell by a meager 3 points, to the much improved Miami Heat. Wade had 31 and Foye had 29 as the two players – one a proven star, the other a rising star – refused to back down. For the Heat, Udonis Haslem had 17 points 10 rebounds and Shawn Marion had 16 points 11 rebounds. Rodney Carney added 15 for the Wolves, while Ryan Gomes had 11.

The Orlando Magic made an NBA-record 23 3 pointers, to provide the only drama of the second half in a blowout at ARCO Arena.

THAT'S ALL FOLKS

Wow some good matches today, Shaq is back to his best imo helping the Phoenix Suns out with another victory which has seen them climb up the ladder. I thought the Suns would of won by a big margin, I was listening to the game and went away and later on came back and heard the Hawks were back it it.

Happy with the Bobcats getting the buzzer beater shot, they started strong and finished strong but were poor in the middle.
