After a quick weekend in the greater NYC area, here’s your jet-lagged, turkey-stuffed, bargain-priced NBA update…

Friday

Maurice Evans again rode the pine with his new squad as Orlando took out the Bobcats, 105-92.

The two most storied NBA franchises met once again, and the Celtics bested the Lakers, 107-94. Chris Mihm missed all four of his shots in his fourteen minutes of action, but grabbed five boards and dished out two dimes.

LaMarcus Aldridge dominated in Portland, and the Trailblazers knocked off the Kings, 87-84. L.A. had another double-double — this time with a 28/12 line — and blocked three shots in the contest.

It was a quiet night by Kevin Durant standards, as the rookie finished with twelve points and five boards in a 98-93 home loss to the Nets.

Saturday

It should’ve been another battle of UT guards, but T.J. Ford was forced to miss the Raps/Cavs tussle thanks to the stinger that took him out of Tuesday night’s game against the Mavs. Cleveland finished on top, 111-108, as Daniel Gibson scored 17 points to go with three boards, three assists, and a steal in over 43 minutes of play.

He does exist! The Magic found Maurice Evans on their roster and played him for eleven-and-a-half minutes in a 120-99 pasting of the in-state rival Heat. Mo finished with six points on 3-of-7 shooting and left the rest of his line blank.

The Bucks edged the Mavs in Milwaukee, 97-95. Royal Ivey played an even ten minutes and knocked down two free throws to go with an assist.

Sunday

T.J Ford missed another game with a lingering neck injury, but the Raptors were victorious at home, downing Chicago 93-78.

Daniel Gibson earned the rare seventh foul when he was assessed a technical after fouling out of a 111-106 Cavs win over the Pacers. D-Gib’s foul trouble limited him to only 15 minutes, in which he scored eight points and grabbed four rebounds.

The Spurs knocked off the Supersonics in Seattle, 116-101, but they had difficulty shutting down Kevin Durant. K-Smoove had 25 points on 11-of-17 shooting and added six boards and four assists on the night.

Chris Mihm hardly saw the floor as the Lakers lost 102-100 to the Nets, but finished the night with four points and four rebounds in his three minutes of action.

Tonight

Maurice Evans and the Magic head west to face the Portland Aldridges. (9 PM CST, NBA League Pass)

Last night

Royal Ivey saw a good chunk of minutes for the second-straight night, and Milwaukee knocked off the Lake Show, 110-103. Ivey scored five points in eleven minutes and logged four assists. For L.A., Chris Mihm was mostly ineffective in his 15 minutes, scoring only one point on a free throw and grabbing only two boards.

T.J. Ford missed the entire game due to a stinger, but the Raptors held on for a 95-89 victory against Memphis.

The Cavs took out Minnesota on the road, 97-86, moving back to .500 on the season. D-Gib finished with eleven points and five dimes in 34 minutes on the court.

Maurice Evans did not play for Orlando last night, a day after being traded from the Lakers. Mo doesn’t play and the Magic lose to the Spurs, 128-110? It clearly doesn’t have anything to do with the incredibly talented San Antonio squad….it’s gotta be the lack of Mo.

LaMarcus Aldridge and the Trailblazers let one get away at home, as the Nets used a 4th-quarter comeback to earn a 106-101 victory. LA scored fourteen and corralled eight rebounds in his 31 minutes, adding two blocks and a steal.

Today

The NBA takes a back seat to the NFL, leaving its schedule clear so that Glen Davis can eat three turkeys. Plus a pecan pie.
