Ballin': Kevin Durant Met JaVale McGee at the Rim, and Kevin Durant Won
By Jason McIntyre
Oklahoma City 101, Denver 106: With the win, the Nuggets lock up a first-round date with the Lakers. JaVale McGee vs. Andrew Bynum? Where do I sign up?
Oh, and Serge Ibaka did this to Corey Brewer’s dunk attempt.
Washington 96, Cleveland 85: The Wizards have won five in a row!
Charlotte 95, Orlando 102: The Bobcats kept it interesting – like I predicted – but lost again to fall to 7-58. That’s 22 straight defeats. Futility awaits.
New York 99, LA Clippers 93: Guess the Paper Clips aren’t concerned with home court advantage in the first round? Chris Paul sat out (groin) and the Clippers fell to the 5th seed in the West. Memphis leads LA by 1/2 game, and almost certainly will beat hapless Orlando tonight to have home court advantage against the Clippers. Kind of feels like the Clippers went hard 2-3 weeks ago, but then went into cruise control over the last week.
Phoenix 110, San Antonio 106: Steve Nash’s final game in Phoenix? You had a good run, Steve.
