• Cavaliers 98, Knicks 93: Only the Lakers have beaten the Cavaliers in Cleveland this year. So the Knicks didn't have that great a chance of knocking the LeBron James gang's home record to 28-2. The tough part about this game? James, who had three triple-doubles in his past four games, didn't even play that well. He had 19 points but only shot three free throws and went 9-of-17 from the floor. Al Harrington's 26 wasn't enough for the Knicks. Nate Robinson had 20 but went 1-for-5 from 3-point range.

  • Clippers 107, Nets 105: Normally losing to the Clippers is bad enough. But losing on a last-second 3-pointer after seeing an All-Star point guard leave the game just adds injury to insult. Devin Harris departed with a sprained shoulder and not even Vince Carter's 41 points could save them. The Nets have lost 11 of 15.
  • Rangers 4, Flyers 1: What struggling power play? The Rangers entered this contest having converted on zero of their previous 12 man-advantages. Playing the Flyers for the second straight day, the Rangers got power-play four goals, including two from Sean Avery in eight chances. Avery also drew two penalties. As Avery continues to get under the skin of opponents, he keeps making the Rangers better.

  • Islanders 4,Blackhawks 2: How about Peter Mannino? He made 40 saves in his first NHL start to give the Islanders another win. Mark Streit scored twice on the power play.
