Boozer-Lin-Young had good minutes during 4Q, OT. Price-Lin might have taken advantage of tired Celtics guards. Boston played Wallace and got the negative minutes you should expect.

Knicks 83 Cavaliers 101
Smith is playing well off of James for Cleveland; both are scoring and playmaking efficiently. Not much to feel good about for New York, lots of shots by Thomas-Acy, ouch.

Jefferson excelled in the Parsons wing role for Dallas, showing how badly the Mavericks need efficient offense from that spot, especially in lineups with Chandler-Rondo. Stoudemire scored well in his bench minutes.
