NBA Action Highlights - 4 February

Three games took place in the association today. Pau Gasol proved his value, as did Paul Pierce. And the Big Three in Miami came up big. Check out the highlights:

Boston Celtics 106 – Los Angeles Clippers 104

The Clippers almost came back to win this one before The Truth struck. Paul Pierce then held onto the ball – and was surprised that the Clippers didn’t foul him – before making a 3-pointer with 2.5 seconds left to clinch the win and finish with a team-high 22 points. Here’s a detailed review of this game

Los Angeles Lakers 98 – Detroit Pistons 97

Pau Gasol had 23 points and 10 rebounds, and was the last line of defense on Detroit’s final alley-oop attempt Sunday. The Lakers blew an 18-point third-quarter lead, but overcame their late free throw struggles to win for the fifth time in six games. Hopefully the dark days of Pau Gasol coming off the bench in favour of Earl Clark are over. The Lakers ought to be blowing out a team like the Pistons with ease, and not just sneak a win by one point.

Miami Heat 100 – Toronto Raptors 85

LeBron James scored 30 points, Chris Bosh had 28 against his former team, and the Miami Heat beat Toronto 100-85 Sunday for their 10th straight victory over the Raptors. Rudy Gay and DeMar DeRozen couldn’t put up a big enough fight against the defending champions. Here’s a detailed review of this game.
