Superba prestazione del Gallo contro i Bobcats dell’ex Larry Brown: 21 punti e stoppata decisiva a 5″ dalla fine. Bene anche Bargnani contro un Cp3 assai sottotono, Melo 41 ma Denver cade rovinosamente a Memphis. Dallas senza Nowitzki ha la meglio sui Cavaliers grazie al “Jet” Jason Terry, Portland espugna Miami e i Lakers passano al Palace di Detroit.
