The Basketball Diaries - Bulls Are the Best Team Ever

Chicago Bears 96 Dallas Mavericks 85

This means that the Bulls are the odds-on favorite to win the NBA championship this summer, right? They beat the Mavericks, and the Mavericks are were the best team in the league. The Bulls led for the entire 48 minutes last night in what was probably their biggest win of the season. Ben Gordon had 30, and Luol Deng had 21 points to lead the Bulls, but it was their defense that was the key. Dirk had 28 points, but shot only 7/22 from the floor and Josh Howard was only 4/20.

Los Angeles Clippers 102 New Jersey Nets 101

The Nets are going to return home from their west coast trip having nightmares. On Monday night Mike Bibby hit a jumper with 10 seconds left to beat New Jersey by one. On Wednesday night Golden State's Monta Ellis hit a game winner at the buzzer to beat New Jersey by one. Last night? Last night was Cuttino Mobley's turn as he drained a three-pointer with 0.6 seconds left to beat New Jersey by one. "In this league, you've got to expect anything and everything," Jason Kidd said. "We've put ourselves in a position to win, and we've come up short by a point in the last three games. It's not like we're getting blasted by 20 and you're searching for what we need to do. For us, it's just been the last 30 seconds and the ball hasn't bounced our way."
