Ballin': Russell Westbrook Commits Dumb Technical Foul in Final Minute, Costs Thunder Game vs. Rockets
By Jason McIntyre
Houston 104, Oklahoma City 103: What was Russell Westbrook thinking? Up four with :58 left and the ball and he flipped out for no reason and got a technical. Looked like it was a harmless foul on Dragic, who is playing great since Kyle Lowery got sick. At any rate, the Thunder lost the lead and the game when Patrick Patterson came up with a clutch blocked shot.
LA Lakers 116, Memphis 111, 2 OT: Nice road win for the Lakers, who received a career performance from Andrew Bynum – 15-of-18, 37 points, 16 rebounds,
Dallas 107, Washington 98: Nick Young dunked. Hard. Nice move, young fella. Someone has collected JaVale McGee’s finest moments. Go laugh for three minutes:
Golden State 115, Sacramento 89: No Stephen Curry, no Monta Ellis and the Warriors still win by 26 on the road? Way to show up at home, Sacramento! The Warriors made 12-of-24 three-pointers. David Lee was 0-5 on two-pointers; 4-6 from deep. Man, DeMarcus Cousins is a nimble cat.
Denver 118, Atlanta 117, OT: Kirk Hinrich missed a FT with :01 that would have won it, and the Nuggets prevailed in OT. Josh Smith put up an insane 33-point, 17-rebound, 7-assist, please-trade-me-now performance. Gallo … some Knicks fans miss you terribly.
