Raptors Bounce Back, Beat Bobcats 103-101

Chris Bosh had 22 points and 11 rebounds, Hedo Turkoglu hit the go-ahead 3-pointer a day after getting benched, and the Toronto Raptors beat the Charlotte Bobcats 103-101 on Monday night for a key victory in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

The Raptors (36-37) entered having lost three straight and 13 of 17, but they managed to snap Charlotte's three-game winning streak to stay in eighth place in the East, a game ahead of idle Chicago. Toronto was up two when Sonny Weems missed two free throws with 13 seconds left to give Charlotte a chance. But Tyson Chandler couldn't handle Raymond Felton's pass in the lane, and the ball rolled out of bounds.

It left owner Michael Jordan shaking his head as the Bobcats (38-35) remained in seventh in the East and surrendered the tiebreaker to Toronto. Felton had 18 points and seven assists, Stephen Jackson also scored 18 points, but was plagued by foul trouble, and Gerald Wallace had 17 points and eight rebounds for the sixth-year Bobcats, who seemed to show their inexperience in the fourth quarter as they eye their first playoff berth.

Andrea Bargnani had 16 points and nine rebounds, Antoine Wright added 15 points and Turkoglu scored 11 points off the bench in his new role in a rough game that included three technicals, some hard fouls and even the sight of Jordan getting up from his courtside seat to scream at referee Eric Lewis early in the fourth quarter. Jordan was upset when Toronto used a 7-0 spurt to start the fourth to take the lead -- a run that included Jackson picking up his fifth foul on a charge call.

Turkoglu hit a 3-pointer with 4:24 left to put Toronto ahead 95-93. Bosh then dunked on Wallace and Jarrett Jack hit three free throws after being fouled by Felton to put Toronto ahead 100-93 with 2:56 left.
Jackson hit a 3 and two free throws to cut the deficit to 100-98 with 1:18 left. Jackson then knocked the ball away from Turkoglu, who stepped on the sideline while retrieving it.

But Jackson and Wallace missed jumpers on the ensuing possession for Charlotte, and the Raptors did just enough to hold on.

Nowitzki's Triple-Double Leads Mavericks to success

Dirk Nowitzki had 34 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for his second career triple-double, and the Dallas Mavericks maintained their hold on the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference with a 109-93 victory over the visiting Denver Nuggets on Monday night. Nowitzki made 4 of 5 from 3-point range and went 16 for 17 from the free-throw line as the Mavericks moved to 4-4 since the end of a season-best 13-game winning streak.

J. R. Smith scored 27 points and Nene had 14 for the Nuggets, who lost their fifth in six games. Carmelo Anthony, the league’s No. 3 scorer, went 3 for 16 from the floor and had 10 points, 18.9 below his average.
RAPTORS 103, BOBCATS 101 Chris Bosh had 22 points and 11 rebounds, Hedo Turkoglu hit the go-ahead 3-pointer a day after getting benched, and visiting Toronto picked up a key victory in the Eastern Conference playoff race. The Raptors (36-37) entered having lost three straight and 13 of 17, but they managed to stop Charlotte’s three-game winning streak to stay in eighth place in the East, a game ahead of idle Chicago.

Toronto was up by 2 points when Sonny Weems missed two free throws with 13 seconds left to give Charlotte a chance. But Tyson Chandler could not handle Raymond Felton’s pass in the lane. It left the team owner Michael Jordan shaking his head as the Bobcats (38-35) remained in seventh in the East and surrendered the tie breaker to Toronto.

HORNETS 108, LAKERS 100 Chris Paul had 15 points and 13 assists, his first double-double since returning from an ankle injury, and David West scored 20 points for host New Orleans. Marcus Thornton added 18 points, including three 3-pointers, and his fellow rookie Darren Collison had 17 points for the Hornets. Kobe Bryant had 31 points and Pau Gasol added 26 points and 22 rebounds for the Lakers, who fell behind by 17 points in the fourth.

Tenth Victory Means Nets Are Bad, Not Historic

History will reflect that the Nets of 2009-10 are bad. It will also now reflect that they are not the worst team in N.B.A. history.

After serving as the league’s version of the Washington Generals much of this season, the Nets stiff-armed infamy by claiming their 10th victory in their 74th game, a 90-84 victory Monday over a depleted version of the San Antonio Spurs“We got 10,” the public address announcer Gary Sussman said as the final buzzer sounded. Never has a 10th victory so late in the season been so sweet. The Nets’ win means that the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers will keep their distinction with nine victories in an 82-game season.

This is as good as it will probably get for the Nets, who collectively breathed a sigh of relief that it did not get as bad as it could have gotten. The season started ominously. The team parted with its longtime coach Lawrence Frank, set the record for most losses to start a season with 18, and bequeathed interim coaching duties on a hesitant Kiki Vandeweghe, its general manager.

Along the way, the organization pointed to hopeful bright spots ahead: a move from the Meadowlands to Newark and eventually Brooklyn, their pending sale to the Russian oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov and the salary cap space they have cleared ahead of this summer’s potential free-agent bonanza. But the nagging issue of whether this team could separate itself from the old 76ers team remained.

“You don’t have to ask me about it and you do not get to ask me about it every day,” Vandeweghe said afterward. The Spurs never shook the Nets, despite building an 11-point lead, a product of their backcourt attrition. Tony Parker is out. Manu Ginobili did not play, citing back spasms, and Roger Mason Jr. left in the second quarter after spraining his right pinkie.

Perhaps Brett Yormark will now have some positive points to discuss Tuesday when he meets with a fan he confronted last Monday. Yormark, the Nets chief executive, took exception to Chris Lisi’s wearing a brown bag over his head during the Nets loss to Miami on March 22
The marketing-savvy Yormark turned the confrontation into a meeting of the minds, bag-lunch style. The meeting will be streamed on the Nets Web site at noon. At its least, the meeting should be more evenly matched than most of the Nets games this season.

But they got no closer.

Curry, who scored a career-high 36 points against the Clippers and posted his first career triple-double in a 132-102 rout on Feb. 10 at Oakland, helped stake Golden State to a 69-50 halftime lead in the rematch with 16 points.

Golden State outscored Los Angeles 25-4 during a 6-minute span of the second quarter to turn a nine-point deficit into a 54-42 lead with 4:56 left in the half. Curry's short jumper gave the Warriors their first lead, 42-40, with 7:41 left in the second. Curry helped fuel the rally with a pair of 3-pointers, and reserve Chris Hunter added a couple of tip-in baskets after missed shots.

Hawks get back in time although hitting the boards

To get back quicker on defense, the Hawks would probably have to sacrifice some offensive rebounds. They're the seventh-best offensive rebounding team in the league, grabbing 27.8 percent of available offensive boards. But does that make up for the poor transition D?
It's a strange phenomenon, because Atlanta is a very good offensive team overall. Also, the Hawks rank 12th in the league in field-goal percentage from less than five feet from the basket. So it's not like they're poor at finishing close to the rim.
But when you take their poor conversion rate into account, the Hawks' 13.9 second-chance points per 100 possessions is the same as the league average, despite the fact that they're one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the league. So crashing the boards definitely does not make up for the poor transition defense.
The Hawks do push the ball the other way, ranking fourth in the league by scoring 17.7 fast-break points per 100 possessions. So perhaps because they expend energy in running the floor toward their own basket, they don't have the energy to run the floor the other way.In all, the Hawks' poor transition defense is a recipe for disaster. Smart teams have and will continue to take advantage of it.

NBA Players on the decline over 25 years of age

LeBron James turns 25 next Wednesday, which means one thing: He's about to get worse. Ignore his gaudy statistics, and never mind that many analysts consider him the best player on the planet. By one statistical measure, Mr. James is just a week from being over the hill.
NBA players peak at 24 years old and basically stay at that level until they turn 25, at which point they start declining, according to a study by Dave Berri, a professor of economics at Southern Utah University.
Mr. Berri's research, which examined every player from 1977-2008, says the statistical output of the average 24-year-old is equal in value to six wins per season for his team if he plays 35 minutes a night. From then on, the average player keeps getting worse each year until age 35, at which point he begins costing his team wins. Of course, not everyone fits the mold. Kobe Bryant, 31, peaked at 24 but he's still nearly as productive this season .
Mr. James seems to fit the statistical model perfectly. Last season, he played two-thirds of his games at 24 years old and he produced a career-best 27.7 wins. He's still great this year, but his production now equals a slightly more human 24.2 wins. The downfall has begun.

Michael Jordan support Brown stay long

Brown's fate popular issue concerns whether the coach after the end of this season, with his wife and children returned to Philadelphia, Jordan said, "I have always viewed Brown as a friend, and he has no reason to jump out of the remaining contract.

Jordan said he did not want Brown to go anywhere else, will be invited to coach the implementation of the remaining contract finished.
For the team the existing lineup of Jordan that the main core of players is still very young, Stephen - Jackson, Gerald - Wallace is an indispensable figure in the team. Bobcats current salary is much less abundant, their total annual salary next season will reach 60 million U.S. dollars from the millions to pay the luxury tax is only a few gaps, they also deal in the first-round draft pick to go, so it is difficult Bobcats this summer there The as. Jordan is said that there still exists the possibility of such a pen Bobcats to 12 heavy transaction or contract to make salary room for adjustment.
Jordan said the goal now is to re-establish the NBA in the atmosphere of Charlotte Bobcats in Charlotte is not yet ubiquitous, far less than the original Charlotte Hornets, Jordan can still remember that a guest player with the Chicago Bulls in Charlotte, when hot the football market. Joe king does not rule out the ball in order to stimulate the possibility of renaming the city of the team if they can obtain public support, Jordan fans are willing to seek the views of whether to change the "Lynx" is the title, and perhaps change what the team name, and give the team brought a higher the visibility and business value.
