20120129.Cleveland.Boston … Cleveland 88 Boston 87 … Kyrie Irving has done this a couple of times now, take over the end of the game and lead a furious comeback. The time the Celtics didn’t appear to offer much resistance, and lost.
20120129.Miami.Chicago … Miami 97 Chicago 93 … Miami had all their main guys playing at a high level while Chicago got mediocre to bad games from Brewer, Hamilton, Noah and Boozer, (plus missing Deng). Future games between these two teams have some serious upside.
20120129.Los Angeles.Denver … Los Angeles 109 Denver 105 … The Clippers were seriously outperformed when Blake Griffin was out of the game, even moreso when both Griffin and Chris Paul were out.
20120129.Orlando.Indiana … Orlando 85 Indiana 106 … Orlando’s implosion with Jameer Nelson shows how important he is for keeping that team playing well.
20120129.Los Angeles.Minnesota … Los Angeles 106 Minnesota 101 … Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum all played and contributed at the end of the game, together holding off the Timberwolves comeback try.
20120128.Sacramento.Utah … Sacramento 93 Utah 96 … Looks like Sacramento keyed on stopping Millsap for the Jazz. Hayward and Miles managed to pick up the slack though.
20120128.Los Angeles.Milwaukee … Los Angeles 89 Milwaukee 100 … Shortly after the Laker bench, captained by Metta World Peace, made a huge difference in the game against the Clippers, they cost Los Angeles this game against Milwaukee.
20120128.Charlotte.Washington … Charlotte 99 Washington 102 … The Bobcats must be really offensively challenged if they’re relying on Byron Mullens, Kemba Walker and Matt Carroll for their points.
20120128.Philadelphia.Detroit … Philadelphia 95 Detroit 74 … Once Philadelphia started bringing in their subs, they gradually asserted control of the game.
20120128.Houston.New York … Houston 97 New York 84 … Not fair, the Rockets have two point guards and both of them are playing well. The Knicks don’t have a point guard and it’s hard to say who among them is playing well.
