In fairness to the Clippers who played without Chris Kaman and Zach Randolph it’s a players league and the Clippers who welcomed back Baron Davis and Marcus Camby to the rotation just can’t compete on a nightly basis.

Having said that the Bulls punished LA in the second half and dominated third quarter play holding the Clippers to nine points. The starters were superb. They played with energy and purpose. 30 assists is a testimony how the Bulls shared the ball. Joakim Noah recorded four blocks-that’s eleven in the past two games. Tyrus Thomas with a double-double. Derrick Rose outplayed fellow rook Eric Gordon. Ben Gordon handed out eight dimes.

Bulls need to bring that same intensity to Sacramento Friday night. The KIngs are reeling at 10-37 after getting trounced in Boston.

Audio recap:

A vintage night as well for Rasheed Wallace. 25 and 10 as Detroit cooled off Minnesota. Pistons coach Michael Curry was feeling the heat and needed this one.

Kevin Durant is on a scoring spree. 35 more in the books as the Thunder beat the Grizz in OT.

Philly rallied to edge the Rockets. Good news folks. Philly is gewtting new uniforms for the 2009-2010 season. Is Elton Brand really on the block?

Dallas has been struggling of late so thank goodness for the Warriors. The Mavs scored 117 points in a win.
