Cleveland 107, Miami 100: A game worthy of ESPN classic … can they make this happen soon? The Cavs rallied in the 4th behind the high-flying exploits of LeBron (42 points, 6-of-7 three’s) and wingman Mo Williams (17 of his 30 in the fourth) to defeat the One Man Gang this is Dwyane Wade. Until the Cavs forced the ball out of his hands with constant double teams in the fourth, Wade was unstoppable: 41 points, nine assists, seven steals, seven rebounds.

Dallas 87, Oklahoma City 96: Has to register as one of the five biggest surprises of the season – without leading scorer Kevin Durant and leading rebounder Jeff Green, the Thunder stunned the Mavericks. There’s hope on the horizon for these guys if they get Blake Griffin in the draft – rookie Russell Westbrook had 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

New Orleans 98, Philly 91: Here come the Hornets, winners of five straight. Did Tyson Chandler’s failed physical light a fire under these guys? David West hit the 30-point plateau for the third time in four games as the Hornets inched closer to that 4th seed in the West.

Atlanta 98, Washington 89: The injury-plagued Wizards lost at home to close within 1.5 games of the worst record in the NBA. Without cheating, can you guess where the Wizards starters went to college? Point guard Mike James, SG Dominic McGuire, SF Antwan Jamison, PF Andray Blatche and C Darius Songalia. Should be three locks.

San Antonio 106, LA Clippers 78: Tim Duncan scored 18 points and collected 10 boards in three quarters of play as the Spurs routed the Clippers. The “where’d they go to college” game is much easier with the Clippers: Baron Davis, Mike Taylor, Al Thornton, Steve Novak and Marcus Camby.
