19-18 Hornets-Lakers.

Davis scores. 21-18.

[nuraman00]

Vazquez rebound and pull-up. Interesting, I didn't know he had that in him. He missed, but I wasn't expecting him to shoot either.

[nuraman00]

#42 to Vazquez who cuts for a layup, but Vazquez misses.

Interesting.

Even though Vazquez missed, it shows how he reads the defensive, and how he tries to play off the ball too.

[nuraman00]

24-25, end of 1st.

[nuraman00]

59-44, Dallas-Portland, halftime.

Dallas outscored Portland 27-14, and went on a 19-4 run, in the 2nd.

[nuraman00]

"Pau made 3 out of his last 10 FTs."

"I'm not a stat guy, but that's horrible for any NBA player, especially for someone as talented as Pau. He better make both of these!"

Pau bricks the 1st.

[nuraman00]

Portland leads.

[nuraman00]

101-98, 58.2 secs left.

About a minute ago, Collison made a desperation bank 3-pointer from 29 feet, at the shot clock buzzer.

Lillard has just seemed average the last few games I've seen. I liked him in November, but now he seems just "ok". Not to say he looks bad, but I used to think I was watching one of the special rookie of the years. Now I think I'm watching a nice player, but not special.

[nuraman00]

Two unbelievable plays.

Lillard to Batum for 3 on an out of bounds play. It's good!

Marion loses the ball, but Dirk gets the deflection, catches it, and hits a 3.

104-101.

[nuraman00]

Lillard to Batum to Aldridge for the corner 3! 104 all.

Where is IowaSacKing93? Wasn't he supposed to watch hoops tonight? Did he end up trapped at a Chevron, with that weird attendant?

[nuraman00]

4.5 left.

[nuraman00]

Matthews to Aldridge on an out of bounds play for the win at the buzzer! 104-106.

[nuraman00]

Aldridge has two game winners against Dallas.
