Phoenix 125, Washington 108: Hakim Warrick’s, “move bitch, get out the way” dunk on Yi Jianlian highlighted a rather drab night in the NBA. (Unless you’re a Knicks fan!) Warrick had 26 points in 28 minutes. Steve Nash (20 points, 8-8 shooting, 17 assists) got the better of his matchup with rookie John Wall (12 points, 12 assists).

Portland 100, LA Clippers 91: Blake Griffin watch – 21 points, 15 rebounds, one authoritative dunk-back. Does it look like his head is parallel with the rim? Griffin’s having trouble seeing Wall in his rear view mirror. As bad as the Clippers are, it was nice to see some fight in them (five techs, two ejections, one near-fight).

New York 116, Toronto 99: Seven road wins in a row for the 12-9 Knicks. Last year, they had a total of 11 road wins; they have nine this year with 61 games left. Amare dropped 31 points and collected 16 rebounds – his 4th straight 30-10 game. Rookie Landry Fields, who will fit in nice in Denver (come on Nuggets, you know you want him!), scored 15 points and took 10 rebounds. Amir Johnson had two nice dunks to go with 22 points and 16 rebounds.

Oklahoma City 114, Golden State 109: How can the Thunder not get a 3rd wheel for KD and Westbrook? Jeff Green’s a nice complimentary player, and Serge Ibaka is promising, but if this team were to trade for a legit center who could produce defense, toughness and rebounding (Chris Kaman?), a title this year wouldn’t shock us. KD & Westbrook combined to go 22-of-25 from the line in a game that wasn’t nearly as close as the score indicated. My main man Steph Curry scored a season-high 39 points.

Detroit 100, Cleveland 92: Byron Scott better get his team, quick – they’ve lost four in a row by 19 (Boston), 28 (Miami), 34 (Minnesota), and now this one to the Pistons, who had lost six of seven.

Boston 100, New Jersey 75: Nate Robinson started for Rajon Rondo (hamstring) and played like him, too – 21 points, six rebounds, six assists. At 6-14, the Nets have the worst record in the East. Avery Johnson says he likes a challenge – well, your 2009 1st round pick is in the NBDL, you overpaid for Travis Outlaw’s 11 pts and 4 rpg, and your team is 2nd-to-last in the league in assists-per-game. Is Duke’s Kyrie Irving – who played high school ball in New Jersey – the answer in the 2011 draft?
