Phoenix Suns 98, Milwaukee Bucks 90
Everyone's raving about the Sun's 16th straight victory last night, setting a franchise record. Everyone, that is, but the Suns. Despite double-digit production for all of the five starters, Phoenix coach Mike D'Antoni was't impressed, saying the team was out-of-sync for much of game. "That comes from a day off and laying around the hotel all day," he said. "We'll lace them up tomorrow at noon and have a little practice." Steve Nash, who scored 18 points and had 16 assists, was similiarly unmoved. "It's hard to feel real proud about it because we haven't been playing as well as we can for much of the streak," he said. Face it, guys, you suck. Pack it up and go home, there's always next year.
Washington Wizards 99, Detroit Pistons 96
Okay, let's play count the metaphors! "Hibachi" Arenas lit the coals with 25 points, but let Antwan Jamison do the grilling. Jamison scored a season-high 35 points in last night's win, Washington's fifth in six games, which stripped Detroit of the lead in the Eastern Conference. "It feels good because we deserve this," Arenas said. "We've fought our way back." But Washington coach Eddie Jordan is not so quick to get comfortable. "That was a heavyweight fight," Jordan said. "We took a Joe Frazier left hook, and we got right up. I know they are going to be ready for a rematch. Just because we're up in the standings, we are not the champions of the East. They've been the champions and we are always going to be the hunter, not the hunted."
Charlotte Bobcats 106, Los Angeles Lakers 97
One of the worst teams in the Eastern conference decided to play some real basketball, taking a home game from the Lakers. Actually, the Bobcats almost blew it, letting Kobe Bryant hit at the buzzer to send it into overtime. "We thought there was no way we should lose when we were up three with a couple of seconds to go," Matt Carroll said, who scored the team's high 24 points. "When Kobe hit that shot, we said, `We came too far to lose this game -- and we beat them in overtime before, so why can't we do it again?" Uh.... cuz you're Charlotte? Meanwhile, the only reason for this game's mention: with Kobe Bryant's 32 points, he becomes the the youngest player in NBA history to reach 18,000 points, besting Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan.
