Recap Roundups
February 10, 2017
Miami 108, Brooklyn 99
James Johnson was so effective on both ends for the Miami Heat that he drew comparisons to another guy named James who played for the team.
Denver 131, New York 123
They call him 'the Joker,' but there is nothing funny about Nikola Jokic's game.
San Antonio 103, Detroit 92
The San Antonio Spurs made an under-the-radar move when they signed free agent Dewayne Dedmon to a two-year contract last summer.
L.A. Lakers 122, Milwaukee 114
On the final night of a five-game road swing, the Los Angeles Lakers played their best basketball of the season for three full quarters.
Golden State 122, Memphis 107
In the first quarter Friday night at FedExForum, Golden State forward Draymond Green was having so much trouble with his contact lenses that he was seeing double and hoping he would not have to take a shot.
New Orleans 122, Minnesota 106
With just nine players available for Friday night's game against Minnesota, the New Orleans Pelicans were going to need someone to step up.
Washington 112, Indiana 107
Markieff Morris had a clear path to the basket in the first quarter and dunking on his mind. Yet the big man missed and the ball clanked off the rim, soaring into the air. Instead of bouncing away, the ball kissed the top of the backboard, fell straight down, rattled around the rim and through the net. Some say it's better to be lucky than good. These days, the Washington Wizards are both.
Washington 112, Indiana 107
John Wall had 26 points and 14 assists as the Washington Wizards resumed to their winning ways at home with a 112-107 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Friday.
Sacramento 108, Atlanta 107
Huge deficits on their home floor have been as commonplace for the Sacramento Kings this season as the sight of DeMarcus Cousins picking up a technical foul.
Sacramento 108, Atlanta 107
Darren Collison scored 22 points, the last two on a driving layup that he kissed off the top of the glass with 3.5 seconds left, to lift the Sacramento Kings to a 108-107 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night at the Golden 1 Center.
Phoenix 115, Chicago 97
Fresh out of centers, the Phoenix Suns used their small-ball lineup to fashion one of their biggest wins of the season.
Phoenix 115, Chicago 97
Devin Booker and Eric Bledsoe combined for 50 points and the Phoenix Suns used a small-ball lineup to beat the Chicago Bulls 115-97 on Friday night.
