The Basketball Diaries-Nuggets Keep Rolling

Denver Nuggets 115 Utah Jazz 106

The Nuggets have now won seven games in a row and they're picking a nice time of the season to get their act together. Carmelo had 31, and The Answer dropped in 21 points and 12 dimes. "What I'm happy about is we're just approaching every game the same way," Iverson said. "We won six games in a row, but we didn't care about that. We was concerned about this game here tonight."

San Antonio Spurs 109 Sacramento Kings 100

I was talking to a friend the other day about basketball and he told me he had a darkhorse in the Western Conference. I figured he'd say the Nuggets or something, but he told me that his darkhorse was the Spurs. I looked at him for a second or two silently before calling him an idiot. How the hell can the Spurs be a darkhorse? They're 57-21! They've had a chance to win the Western Conference all season.

Detroit Pistons 104 Orlando Magic 99

The Pistons clinched home-court advantage in the Eastern Conference with their win on Wednesday night. Now as I told Matt Watson of Detroit Bad Boys, all they have to do is beat Miami in the second round and then they can have their season ended by a certain team from a certain town on a certain lake known worldwide as Da Bulls.
