HT Dallas 59 Utah 59

100-97, 4:00 4Q, "Hornets" FTO

Crunch time. Nix 9-game win streak threatened.

Julius Randle is having a putrid game, 12 pts on 4/14 in 29'. He was out an inordinately long time in the first half and a guy on Twitter wrote that Randle had passed him in the tunnel with both knees wrapped in towels. I thought he might have been done for the game but he came back in. Just not effectively. It's all RJ Barrett for the Nix.

OKC 83 GS 82, 6:07 3Q

NY 98 Chazz 94, 5:27 4Q, Nix FTO

Yep.

Cows 54 Rust 62, 8:01 3Q

NY 97 Chazz 89, 6:36 4Q

Nix are letting Horns stay in this game!

NY 95 Chazz 87, 9:37 4Q, Chazz FTO. Nix 6-0 4Q

NY 89 Chazz 87 End 3

No excuse for that 3rd quarter crap from NY. Nix on that. They had best put these bees away.

NY 86 Chazz 87

I’ve also noticed that sometimes the trailing team does come all the way back and takes the lead!

NY 86 Chazz 81, 2:25 3Q Nix FTO

Chazz hazz had a great quarter, 31-20. The difference between teams at different levels in the NBA is at the margins and, as here, the margin is often the missed shot that could just turn the game. I’ve noticed that frequently with the offense-challenged “Heat.” They get the deficit down to a handful but when they go for the kill shot they miss the artery. In NY tonight, although Chazz hazz no gotten it down to 5, they had two shots from three when it was 7 that could have gotten it closer, to 4. They missed both 3’s.

HT Cows 54 Rust 59

HT OKC 68 GS 64

Klay With 17! “Warriors” Lead 60-57, 1:59 2Q

Splash! Klay With 14, GS Closes to 54-57, 2:53 2Q

Oh God, 47-66 in MN.

Not a good slate tonight.

Cows 35 Rust 43, 8:01 2Q. Rust 16-3 2Q

Everybody's back on Golden Pond but they are trailing OKC (talk about a team with a future!) 46-39, 8:40 2Q in Okie.

35-40 in Cowtown. Rust on 13-3 Run 2Q

BKN Takes Lead: 35-37, 9:04 2Q

"Knicks" shot a torrid 57.1% that half. Chazz a very good 48.8%. This game and Beer's on pace to continue the abnormally high scoring we have seen lately in the Association.

Cows 32 "Nets" 27, End 1Q

Game Over

 

Yep, I was afeareda that. 66-50 HT in MSG.

Randle with a 3, 61-47, :56 2Q

Nix Pulling Away, 53-40, 2:52 2Q

Oh God, HT in Minn.: Wolfs 45 "Sixers" 58

Philly Getting Separation: 50-43, 2:11 2Q

Philly made a 13-0 run in the last 4' of 2Q.

NY 40 Chazz 35, 7:04 2Q, Nix FTO

Now both teams are shooting well: NY 50%, Chazz 48.3%.

Houston TEN Brooklyn 2

Barrett with 2 more...AND TWO MORE! PLUS 1. 40-33, 7:35 2Q
