So now that we're tracking both the playoffs (the usual) and the lotto (the new) we have an expanded "While you were sleeping" schedule to track. Here was all the action from last night:
- GSW @ SAS -- The Spurs won, obviously. Great that the Dubs lost too.
.
- CLE @ ORL -- Orlando lost
- BOS @ WAS -- Boston lost
- LAL @ SAC -- LA lost #BollywoodNight
- LAC @ PHX -- Phoenix lost
- MEM @ MIN -- Memphis lost
.
- MIL @ MIA -- Milwaukee lost
- CHA @ PHI -- Philly lost (duh)
- DET @ IND -- Detroit lost
- NOP @ DEN -- New Orleans lost, and it shows that we're probably going to beat them when we play later on this week
- CHI @ ATL -- Atlanta lost
- BKN @ NYK -- Battle of New York, and Brooklyn lost. Amazing.
Movers and Shakers:
- Golden State finally lost, and all the teams playing that could benefit didn't win.
- All the teams around the Jazz all lost last night, while Utah was idle
