Yesterday

The Cavaliers topped the Bulls in overtime, 112-108, putting them 2.5 games behind Detroit for the division and conference lead with only nine games left. Daniel Gibson saw 16 minutes of action, making the only shot he took. He added two rebounds, but also picked up four fouls.

LaMarcus Aldridge played only seven minutes in the first quarter before having to leave the game due to dizziness. Unfortunately, this is not a bad April Fool’s joke. He was taken to a local hospital for evaluation and was later discharged, with Blazers GM Kevin Pritchard attributing the dizziness to dehydration. Portland fell to the Clippers, 99-86.

Today

D-Gib and the Cavs try to continue their winning ways against my Celtics. I have a feeling that they won’t have any problems with this one, but if for some reason Boston is ahead, don’t be overly concerned — Doc Rivers will bench all the starters for the entire fourth quarter. (5 PM CDT, NBA LP)

The Raptors and T.J. Ford face the struggling Charlotte Bobcats in Toronto tonight. The Raps are closing in on a division crown, as their magic number is down to only four. (5 PM CDT, NBA LP)
