Last Night's Action: Basketball Brings Sorrow
- Charlotte 94 Knicks 87: A fourth quarter collapse kept the Knicks from winning their fifth-straight. Leading by eight entering the quarter, the Knicks were outscored 28-13 in the final period. Part of the problem may have been Mike D’Antoni’s decision to go with a 7-1/2 man rotation. While Eddy Curry did play, his five minutes off the bench didn’t contribute much and every other player logged 20 minutes or more.
- Cleveland 99 Nets 89: Yes, they should lose on the road in Cleveland, but they made it competitive. New Jersey kept things close thanks to 22 points each from Brook Lopez and Devin Harris, but they ultimately fell to the Cavs. Amazingly, New Jersey was outshot 59%-39% yet the final score was only a ten-point difference.
