Wilson Chandler and Corey Brewer made
life look easy even without Danilo Gallinari, while the Spurs remained a game
ahead of OKC in the West after scraping by the Hawks. Also, John Wall had
another superb outing in the Wizards’ upset of the Pacers.
Today’s
Best:
- Chandler and Brewer paired up for 43 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists as the Nuggets beat the Rockets at home to remain firmly at #3, 2 games in front of the Clippers.
- Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard were supremely sublime in San Antonio’s win over the Hawks. TD had 31 points and 14 boards, while Leonard filled the stat-sheet with a 23-6-4-2-2 line.
- How about John Wall? This early, he just might be a 2014 All-Star already. Wall dropped 37 on Indiana, while also adding 5 assists, 2 steals, and 2 rejections.

Today’s
Worst:
- In contrast, Paul George missed all his field goals and finished with only 2 points in 34 minutes of play. This is not a good sign for the 2013 All-Star, who has struggled of late even as the Pacers try to catch up with the Knicks for the East’s #2 spot.
- Are you getting sick of seeing Joe Johnson throw up bricks? I am, but, strangely enough, the Nets aren’t. JJ shot just 5-of-16 in the Nets’ latest game. Good thing it was just versus the Bobcats.
- DeMar DeRozan might be this generation’s Corey Maggette – a high-flying wing player who does nothing else but score and fill the highlight reel (Maggette doesn’t even do THAT anymore!). Against the Bucks, DeRozan shot just 6-of-14 from the floor and had only 2 rebounds. Nothing else.
