NBA Triple Threat: Your (almost) daily roundup of last night's action in the Association:Cavs get some revenge A small victory perhaps, but one can never look a road win against a West power in the mouth. Cleveland held on to beat the Spurs 90-89 after FBS missed the game-tying shot in the final seconds. The Spurs trailed by eight after the third, but rallied to tie it up at 88 before LeBron hit a lay-up. Parker then missed two free throws that would've tied it up before FBS missed his shot. Of course, even though it was to the Cavs at home, do Spurs fans even care about games in January?
Suns snap Lakers' win streak In doing so, the Suns also took over the #1 seed in the West thanks to their 106-98 victory. The Lakers saw their seven game win streak end. Phoenix shot 51.9% from the field, compared to the Lakers' 37.9% performance.
Linas Kleiza has his career night 41 points from Kleiza helped fuel the Nuggets to a 120-109 victory over Utah. Obviously, that's a career high for Kleiza. It's safe to say that was not something I expected to happen this evening.
Best Lines
- Linas Kleiza, Den: 41 pts, 13-21 FG, 4-8 3PT, 9 rebs, 2 ast, 1 stl...How many fantasy teams picked him up tonight?
- Marcus Camby, Den: 8 pts, 24 rebs, 1 ast, 2 stl, 11 blk...Career highs in both rebounds and blocks for Camby. Too bad he shot 4-13, or we could've seen a really cool triple double.
- Shawn Marion, Pho: 20 pts, 16 rebs, 4 ast, 3 stl, 1 blk...Andrew Bynum, you were missed.
- Tinsley suspended - "following an incident during a film session." Have fun in Europe next year, Jamaal.
- Randolph for Carter rejected - My prediction: There will be a ton of rumors about the Knicks, and then they will do nothing.
- Foye return delayed - The 8-74 dream isn't quite gone yet.
