Recap Roundups
February 03, 2016
Charlotte 106, Cleveland 97
Shortly after leading the Hornets to a 106-97 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night, Charlotte point guard Jeremy Lin attempted to throw a towel in a laundry bin in the locker room and flat-out missed.
Atlanta 124, Philadelphia 86
Even against one of the worst teams in the league, it's still rare to win with ease on the road.
Boston 102, Detroit 95
There were times in the second half Wednesday night where the Boston Celtics felt time was standing still.
Indiana 114, Brooklyn 100
The best way to describe how Wednesday unfolded for C.J. Miles was his showing felt like a really good drill in practice.
Golden State 134, Washington 121
Turns out Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry missed too many 3-pointers against the Washington Wizards. Not in terms of leading the defending NBA champions to yet another win, but matching a league record for most 3-pointers in one game. From Washington's perspective, Curry was a perimeter heartbreaker over and over again.
Oklahoma City 117, Orlando 114
Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant has said on more than one occasion this year that he is at his best when the pressure is on.
Miami 93, Dallas 90
With 10 points, nine rebounds, five blocks and many more altered shots in limited playing time, Miami center Hassan Whiteside made a major statement about his importance in the Heat's 93-90 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night at American Airlines Center.
San Antonio 110, New Orleans 97
In his first season as a member of the San Antonio Spurs, forward LaMarcus Aldridge has done the majority of his damage from the elbow near the free-throw line or on the baseline moving away from the basket.
Utah 85, Denver 81
Before Wednesday's game, Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone tried to impress upon his players the importance of not playing at the Utah Jazz's pace.
Minnesota 108, L.A. Clippers 102
Andrew Wiggins called it a statement game.
