- Knicks 101, Hornets 95: Picking the Knicks to go 1-3 on this four-game road swing would have ben a popular position. Most would have thought they had the team to take care of Oklahoma City but not one to down Houston, Dallas or New Orleans. But an upset in the Big Easty saved an 0-4 trip that started with a disaster in Oklahoma City. They almost blew a 14-point lead late. David Lee had 24, Wilson Chandler had 19 and Al Harrington had 20 off the bench. Next up is a home-and-home against Washington.
- Nets 103, Thunder 99 (OT): Devin Harris returned but the Nets needed overtime to beat the lowly Thunder. Harris had 17, but rookie Brook Lopez had 31. The Nets started the season 5-12 at home but are now 9-12. They're also .500 on the season at 19-19. Given the low expectations they faced this season, they have to be happy to be mediocre.
