NBA Recap, Top Plays and Photo Gallery for February 14, 2012
RECAP:
New York Knicks @ Toronto Raptors: 90-87
It was Lin for the win! Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin made a tiebreaking 3-pointer with less than a second to play to cap his finishing flurry of six straight points and New York rallied to beat the Raptors 90-87, extending its winning streak to six games.
Miami Heat @ Indiana Pacers: 105-90
LeBron James scored 23 points and nearly produced his first triple double in 11 months as Miami rolled to a 105-90 victory at Indiana to become the first NBA team in 33 years to win three road games in three nights.
San Antonio Spurs @ Detroit Pistons: 99-95
Tim Duncan’s Spurs overcame a spirited Detroit rally to beat the Pistons 99-95 for their eighth consecutive victory. Duncan had 18 points and 13 rebounds, spoiling a special night for Wallace, who played in his 1,055th game—a record for an undrafted player since the 1976-77 NBA-ABA merger.
Houston Rockets @ Memphis Grizzlies: 83-93
Mike Conley scored 21 points, Rudy Gay added 20 points and eight rebounds and the Memphis Grizzlies held Martin scoreless for the first time in six years in the Grizzlies’ 93-83 victory over the Rockets.
Sacramento Kings @ Chicago Bulls: 115-121
Loul Deng came through with 23 points and a career-high 11 assists, and the Bulls escaped with a 121-115 victory over the Sacramento Kings after a 19-point, fourth-quarter lead dwindled to two.
Utah Jazz @ Oklahoma City Thunder: 85-111
The NBA-leading Oklahoma City Thunder got their first three-day break of the season, and the Utah Jazz were playing their third road game in as many nights.
James Harden scored 22 points, Kevin Durant added 21 and the Thunder beat Utah 111-85 for their second win against the Jazz in five days.
Phoenix Suns @ Denver Nuggets: 92-109
Arron Afflalo scored 20 points, Chris Andersen had 16 points, seven rebounds and six blocks and Denver broke open a close game in the third quarter to beat the short-handed Suns 109-92.
Washington Wizards @ Portland Blazers: 124-109
Nick Young scored a season-high 35 points, John Wall added 29 points and nine assists, and the Washington Wizards beat the Portland Trail Blazers 124-109 for their third straight road win.
Atlanta Hawks @ Los Angeles Lakers: 78-86
Pau Gasol scored seven of his 20 points in the final 5:20 and grabbed 13 rebounds, and the Lakers beat the Atlanta Hawks 86-78 on Tuesday night despite another poor first half by Kobe Bryant.
Andrew Bynum had 15 points and 15 rebounds for the Lakers, who returned from a 3-3 road trip and improved to 12-2 at home—compared to 5-10 away. Bryant, whose jumper in the final 5 seconds beat Toronto on Sunday, finished this one with only 10 points in 34 minutes on 5 for 18 shooting.
