- Nets 118, Pistons 110: Congratulations to the New Jersey Nets! With their win against Detroit, the Nets avoid the title of worst team ever. Now the worst (best?) they can do is tie the 1972-73 76ers. And with 10 games left, it's possible for the Nets to win one more! The win also gave New Jersey its first winning streak of the season. Brook Lopez and Yi Jianlian both had career highs, scoring 37 and 31 respectively. Aided by the Pistons, an awful road team, the Nets shot a season high 57% from the field and scored a season high 110 points. Nets fans, take of those paper bags, because everything is coming up roses! New Jersey looks to extend the win streak to three tonight against the Bulls.
- Suns 132, Knicks 96: Would you believe that the last time the Knicks and Suns met, New York actually blew Phoenix out? Well, that was back in December. This time, the Suns turned the tables with everyone on the team helping out. Six players scored more than 10 and the everyone on the team scored at least once.
