Warriors 106, Wizards 107
: Gilbert Arenas had 32 points, hopefully marking his comeback from a recent cold streak. He hit three key free throws with no time on the clock, giving Washington a one-point victory. Gilbert was fouled during a layup, and would have normally just been given two free throws, but someone forgot to remind Don Nelson not to get technical fouls when the game’s on the line.

T’Wolves 117, Celtics 124: It was their 4th win in a row, which only means Greg Oden and Kevin Durant are getting further and further out of Boston’s reach. The Celtics Delonte West scored 31 points in the second half, after going oh-for in the first.

Bulls 126, Bucks 121: Ben Gordon: 48 points. Michael Redd: 52 points. Unfortunately, the winner of the duel lost the game.

Lakers 94, Suns 99: It’s hard to believe, but at 46-14, the Suns have almost zero chance of being the one-seed in the West. Kobe had 31 points, but it wasn’t enough to keep up with Steve Nash’s 23 points and 10 assists, one of the rare times Nash has had more than twice as many points as dimes.

Nets 86, 76′ers 99: This was their fourth win in a row. It might be too early, but is AI like Marbury, in the sense that the team he leaves gets better and the team he joins gets worse?

Jazz 108, Hornets 94: Who woulda thought the Jazz would be this successful with Andrei Kirilenko taking a reduced role? He played 21 minutes, had three points, and the Jazz still rolled.

Bobcats 89, Supersonics 96: Seems like a long time ago the Bobcats were hot. It was only just before the all-star break, but the last few games have made everyone forget. They’ve lost five in a row now, and any confidence they had is probably gone now.
