Quick look
at last night's NBA
By INSIDEHOOPS.COM
Ever since the rise of Andre Miller
(and perhaps even before that), Cleveland Cavaliers guard Brevin Knight
has been on the trading block. After much speculation a deal has finally
gone through, sending Knight to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for swingman
Jim Jackson. Knight was doomed in Cleveland, as Miller has worked hard
to become a fantastic young point guard who plays better defense than Knight
(not hard to do) and also runs a team better. While the Cavs have a glut
of players of Jackson's size and skills, he can score, and will help them
more than Brevin was.
Chris Dudley always seems to go insane
whenever playing against the Lakers. We believe it's due to the humiliation
he suffered about a year ago when Shaq dunked on him, knocking him backwards,
then shoving him down like yesterday's trash. That is still one of the
most outrageous signs of disrespect we have seen in the NBA. And it was
damn fun to watch.
Tony Delk scored 53 points last night
in a loss to the Kings. Travis Best has emerged as a scoring freak this
year, so now it's Delk's turn. He shot 20 of 27. His previous high was
26 points.
More players stepping up: Jason
Terry scored 32 points in leading the Hawks over the Celtics, 92-81...
Stephon Marbury scored 30 to lead the Nets to a rare victory, in Orlando...
Darius Miles dropped 26 points on the Raptors. He also grabbed 10 rebounds.
Miles played power forward for almost the entire game, shocking if you
consider that he was up against the likes of Charles Oakley and Kevin Willis,
both of whom have more muscles in their toes than Miles does in his upper
body... Jermaine O'Neal had 20 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocked shots
to help the Pacers beat the Sonics, 91-83... Vlade Divac had 34 points
and Peja Stojakovic had 33 as the Kings took overtime to beat the Suns...
