Rondo is injured, landed on his back really hard.

Novak is unconscious.

Melo has had a really good game and I would consider him the player of the game but have to give credit to Novak and Smith for their contributions.

With the win tonight, the Heat still have a chance to earn the #1 seed in the East. They need to win out and Bulls to lose one more game against an Eastern Conference opponent if I'm not mistaken. They'd be tied record wise and also head to head but I believe conference record is next.

Spurs kickin LA's ass once again for the 2nd time this week! Kobe was a complete non factor tonight, held scoreless in the 4th quarter. Father Time seems to have caught up with #24

Game going to OT. Utah has withstood Magic's barrage of threes and now have a very important OT to play to secure 8th place all by themselves.

[HeatCheck]

Huge win for Utah, totally outplayed Orlando in OT. The hopes for Suns and especially the Rockets making the playoffs are dwindling.

[HeatCheck]

Melo sure is getting up his shots. Besides those early missed layups, he has been on in this first quarter vs the Hawks.

NY leading ATL 94-93 heading into the 4th. Not much defense in this game and Melo is having a good game.

What a crazy ending. NYK won a close one.

Might have been Baron's best game of the year.

Also, Shumpert is such a pest on defense. Don't be surprised if they use him occasionally on LBJ in the playoffs.

[HeatCheck]

Ohh damn. World Peace about to start a fight.

Just got ejected. He was celebrating a dunk on the leading block man and knocked out Harden with an elbow.

[cavic7585]

Damn act like a grown man. Hope he gets hit hard by the league.

I wish we were able to get Shumpert somehow. I liked him at Georgia Tech. He's already such an excellent defender, and he's just a rookie. His offensive game is coming around, as well.

[HeatCheck]

Yeah a little shaky on offense and doesn't have the greatest IQ but that's not what he's out there for. Also he is kinda stuck between two positions.

Back to Back clutch 3s by Kobe.
