Line Of The Night — 01/16/2008
Line Of The Night:
Jamal Crawford — 35 points, 8 assists, 2 steals, 1 board
Some call him J-Creezy. Some call him J-Crizzles. Others call him… winner? The Knicks took it to their cross-river rivals in Dirty Jerse last night, winning three straight! Break up the Knicks!
Beasts Of The Night:
Dwight Howard — 24 points, 21 boards, 4 steals, 1 assist, 1 block
Howard got the better of the individual match-up against draft rival Emeka Okafor, but the Bobcats came back from a double-digit halftime deficit to take the victory.
Tyson Chandler — 21 boards, 14 points, 2 steals, 1 block, 1 assist
Tyson and the Hornets squad-up on the Sonics by 31!
Collapse In Indianapolis Of The Night:
Indiana Pacers 125, Golden State Warriors 117
As the second half began, the Warriors blew this game wide open, running out to a 17-point lead. Just where the Pacers wanted them. Playing without their top two players, Jamaal Tinsley and Jermaine O’Neal, the Pacers invoked the spirit of the San Diego Chargers, who had just knocked off the Indianapolis Colts in the NFL Playoffs, playing without two of their top guys — Philip Rivers and LaAlien Tomlinson. The Pacers dropped 46 in the 4th quarter, right on the Warriors heads.
The Sacramento Kings Saga Of The Night:
Toronto Raptors 116, Sacramento Kings 91.
Just when we had anointed the Kings as tough, scrappy, difficult team to beat, they rollover in the second half against the Raptors. The Kings had their full roster back for this one, with Mike Bibby and Ron Artest back in the mix. Maybe that caused a letdown amongst the other guys?
Shaq back, but Heat get murdered by the Bulls, drop to 8-30… Boston back on the winning track, 100-90 over Portland, despite point guard Rajon Rondo missing another game… 2 boards Jason Kidd? We need a better effort. Think Oscar!…
