New York Knicks 151 Detroit Pistons 145 3OT
For the third time in the last ten days, the Knicks played in an overtime game. It was also their third game this season in which at least two overtimes were needed. After Wednesday night, they're now 4-0 when forced to play extra minutes. "We don't want to give Coach a heart attack, but we have shown we can win in these type of situations," Jamal Crawford said. Stephon Marbury led the Knicks in scoring with 41 points before fouling out in the second OT. Eddy Curry had 33, Crawford 29, and Channing Frye had 23. Rip Hamilton led Detroit with 51 points.
Chicago Bulls 109 Miami Heat 103
The Bulls came back against Minnesota on Tuesday night to make it close, and Wednesday night they were on the other end. After holding a 20 point lead in the first half, the Heat actually took the lead with 1:32 left at the United Center. And they did all this without Shaq or Dwyane Wade. Wade always gets injured against the Bulls, but apparently this time it was serious, as he left in the first quarter with a sprained wrist. Ben Gordon set a career high with 40 points to lead the Bulls. Also, James Posey continued his attacks on Bulls players. He gave Luol Deng a hard foul, and slammed him to the floor, spraining Deng's wrist in the process. Posey was immediately ejected. On opening night, Posey was also the one who broke Tyrus Thomas' nose, and in the playoffs last year he hip checked Kirk Hinrich on a fast break. Where's Carmelo when you need him?
Los Angeles Lakers 106 Orlando Magic 93
The Orlando Magic are struggling now. Losing three in a row, and eight of their last 11. Wednesday night it was Kobe's 27 points, and 20 more from Smush Parker that sent them to defeat. "We can't be giving the Smush Parkers of the league quarters like that," Magic coach Brian Hill said. "If it's Kobe it's different." Well, that was rather uncalled for wasn't it?
