Dallas Mavericks 117 Toronto Raptors 98
The Mavericks won their eleventh straight game after starting the season 0-4. They did experience a major scare though when Dirk Nowitzki left the game in the first quarter. Nowitzki complained of blurred vision, but said he expects to play on Friday vs. Sacramento. Josh Howard led the Mavs in Dirk's absence with 28 points.
Utah Jazz 83 San Antonio Spurs 75
The Jazz won the first battle of the season between two of the NBA's best teams by dominating the Spurs on the boards. Carlos Boozer led the way again for the Jazz with 23 points and 15 rebounds. The win ended a two game losing streak for the Jazz, two games in which they were outrebounded by their opponents. "I repeat it every time: We've got to get our boards because that was they key to tonight's game," said Andrei Kirilenko, "They missed lots of shots. We didn't let them get the second chances."
New York Knicks 101 Cleveland Cavaliers 98
Okay, so raise your hands if you thought the Knicks would be the first team to hand Cleveland a home loss. Exactly, but they did it. Eddy Curry scored 12 of his 24 points in the 4th quarter and Quentin Richardson scored 27 to help the Knicks, who continue to play better on the road than at home.
