First off, I must apologize to the readers here for a complete clusterfuck in yesterday’s post. For some reason, I looked at the NBA schedule for Friday, November 9th instead of the games that were actually being played on Tuesday night. So, if you read this feature on Friday morning and think the writing seems eerily familiar, you aren’t crazy. I regret providing incorrect information yesterday and hope that my readers will accept my sincere apologies.

Now, on to the actual results from Tuesday night and the previews for Wednesday….

Last night

In a battle of former Longhorn guards, Royal Ivey and the Bucks came out on top, besting T.J. Ford and the Raptors, 112-85. T.J. played only 23 minutes in the contest, chipping in eight points and six assists. Meanwhile, Royal saw the floor for nearly 10 minutes in his longest outing of the year, dishing out four assists to go along with a bucket.

The Seattle Supersonics squandered a 20-point lead and let the homestanding Kings storm back for a 104-98 victory. Kevin Durant scored 27 points with seven rebounds and four assists, but again had trouble holding on to the ball. His six turnovers were a team high, including one where Francisco Garcia stripped the ball en route to the go-ahead three-pointer. The Sonics fell to 0-4 for the first time in 30 years.

Chris Mihm started his first game of the season for the Lakers, who lost 118-104 to the undefeated Hornets. Mihm played 17 minutes in the game, scoring eight points on 4-of-7 shooting while blocking three shots and pulling down six boards. Maurice Evans did not play.

LeBron James just missed a triple-double, but Daniel Gibson was impressive as well in the Cavaliers’ 108-104 road victory at Golden State. D-Gib shot 5-of-9 from behind the arc and provided 22 points while adding three assists, three rebounds, and a steal.
