Recap Roundups
February 27, 2016
Boston 101, Miami 89
The Boston Celtics didn't win the Joe Johnson sweepstakes, but they had little trouble closing out against the team that did on Saturday.
Minnesota 112, New Orleans 110
For most of the season, Minnesota Timberwolves interim coach Sam Mitchell has been forced to endure a litany of blown double-digit leads and youthful mistakes from a group of talented but inexperienced 20-somethings.
Portland 103, Chicago 95
Instead of letting a tough loss become a losing streak, the Portland Trail Blazers rebounded on the road with a 103-95 win against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night at the United Center.
San Antonio 104, Houston 94
To a man all the Spurs could talk about was returning to San Antonio, to their own beds and the other trappings of home. They also spent some time discussing and lauding the manner in which they handled business following this long stretch away from the Alamo City.
Detroit 102, Milwaukee 91
Saturday night won't go down as the Detroit Pistons' most well-rounded performance of the season, but they did enough good things at the right times against the Milwaukee Bucks to make their 102-91 victory look fairly easy.
Golden State 121, Oklahoma City 118
For two days, Golden State guard Stephen Curry had to listen to former NBA players critique his game. From calling him just a perimeter player to saying he wouldn't handle the tough defenses of previous eras was spouted throughout the media.
Phoenix 111, Memphis 106
It took 10 games and almost a full calendar month, but the Phoenix Suns weren't going to let Earl Watson's first NBA coaching win go unrecognized.
Brooklyn 98, Utah 96
So far, a beast of a road trip is turning out just fine for the Brooklyn Nets.
