Tim Duncan rallied the Spurs to a win. But with his greatness as a player, and the constant comparisons to the great Michael Jordan, it wouldn’t be long before he would eventually hold that Larry O’Brian trophy in reward for a long season. “Our defense was probably our best of this home stand”.

The Bulls have stayed steady at 8-4 after making a coaching change.
“You want to keep it going and the only way you can do that is by staying sharp, staying focused and bringing effort every night and that’s the mentality that we have”, Curry said.
In his first year with the Cavs, Love saw drops in many of his stats. There was no turning back at that point.
Center Greg Monroe posted his seventh double-double of the season with 20 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 109-88 rout of the Detroit Pistons.
Westbrook had 20 points with nine assists and seven rebounds as the Thunder improved to 9-6 overall.
Since coming into the league in 2003 James has played the most minutes in the league twice so far.
LeBron James and Oscar Robertson now form an exclusive club.
Only LeBron James and Oscar Robertson are now in the top 25 in both points and assists, which is not half bad. The best way for that to happen is for James to save his body for the playoffs. Last season, the East had six teams finish.
The fortunate side of this apparent wall was the minutes played by much of the bench squad.
The Cavs made a season-high 18 3-pointers in 35 attempts. “Obviously, he is one of the best scorers in the world and he can get a bucket”. This wasn’t 2007 all over again for the king, as he was surrounded with all-star players and essentially no excuse this time against an opponent that could and should be beat.
En route to a second straight Finals appearance, the Cavs only have to go through some combination of Miami, Chicago, Atlanta and IN, among others.
Love’s only miss from three-point range came with 10:50 to play in the first quarter. What a game to watch, great for Mavs fans while disappointing for the others.
The Warriors have a chance to break the record they now share with the 1948-49 Washington Capitols and 1993-94 Houston Rockets when they host the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.
What now? The team with three of its biggest stars couldn’t get it done when it matters, and no one felt any sympathy for them outside of South Beach. Evan Fournier only took four shots (though he made all three of his 3-pointers), Harris only took five. The Knicks hadn’t even trailed by double figures in any of their last eight games.
If a player in the game receives his sixth personal foul and all substitutes have already been disqualified, said player shall remain in the game and shall be charged with a personal and team foul. You can count LeBron in that frist group.
James was in his third season with the Miami Heat at the time.

13 seasons in the National Basketball Association is a lot for any National Basketball Association player. As the Magic offense began stalling, Cleveland hit them with a flurry of 3-pointers early in the half, knocking the Magic’s upset bid upside down.
