Sixers 95 – Celtics 90

The Celtics were up in the fourth quarter of this game with a comfortable 80-69 lead with 8:20 to play. This is one of the NBA’s top teams and you would expect that they would be able to close out the deal in against an under .500 squad. No one told that to the Sixers though.

Andre Iguodala’s lead the Sixers comeback as he scored 10 straight points in their 19-0 run that put them up for good in this one. The final score was 95-90 in favor of the Sixers.

The Sixers are over .500 for the first time this season and are looking to make a playoff run. The top teams need to keep an eye on these teams that are hungry for the playoffs. They will come in your house and beat you.

Lakers 123 – Warriors 119

The Lakers got a little bit of revenge for their loss to the Warriors last night.  After losing at home to the Warriors, the Lakers went up to Oakland to beat the Warriors in their house in overtime last night. 

Kobe Bryant had 30 points with 23 of them coming in the second half and overtime but he wasn’t the story in this one.  Wow, thats gotta be a first, the Lakers win and Kobe isn’t the story but Lamar Odom really stepped his game up in this one scoring 23 points and grabbing 21 rebounds.  His layup in overtime with 9 seconds left clinched the 123-119 win over the Warriors.

Suns 105 – Pistons 110

The Suns have been in need of some good backup guards for a minute.  They finally feel like they may have them in Rodney Stuckey and Arron Afflalo.  With Rip Hamilton out of this one, both of the young guys stepped up with Afflalo playing some tight defense on Steve Nash and Stuckey getting some key offense in the second half and overtime.  They were exactly what the Pistons needed last night.

The Pistons beat the Suns 110-105 to end their seven game win streak and make the Suns trip to the East even harder.  Their next game is Wednesday against the Celtics.
