While you were sleeping... 10 March 2009

What a fantastic night for the Jazz.  What a great night of basketball.  Let's take a look at the games:

HORNETS 79 @ HAWKS 89

Chris Paul was kind enough to check in with the Dunk after this game.  Let's get his reaction:

Paul had 24 & 10 but had 6 turnovers as the Hornets couldn't stop the Hawks on D.  A serendipidous win indeed.

 ROCKETS 97 @ NUGGETS 95

Let's get back to Boozer for his reaction to this game:

You're going to feel dirty rooting for either of these teams, but in this case you didn't have to.  One of them was going to lose and that was good news for the Jazz.  The Nuggets got blown out early and couldn't quite make the comeback.

LAKERS 94 @ TRAIL BLAZERS 111

The Blazers jumped all over the Lakers early and this one was never in doubt.  While it hurts us in our division a bit, you can never go wrong with the Lakers getting pounded.  It shows that they can be cut.

Overall, you know what's coming:

And if you haven't seen Dwayne Wade's shot from last night, you're missing out.
