San Antonio had 2Q, 4Q runs with Ginobli-Mills playing. Diaw-Green were also mostly positive minutes for the Spurs. Shaky output from Parker-Leonard-Duncan. Big question if those 3 will hold up through March-April.

76ers 89 Pistons 69
I cannot remember seeing Philadelphia start a game this well. The Pistons might only be as good as the point guard who is playing, and it poses risk when there is only Augustin, unless Dinwiddie can step up.

If there was ever a game for the Boston defense to pounce on the opponent point guard, this was it. I thought the Celtics could use the tactic as a clear path to Ws, but no.

Atlanta picked it when the Hawks started bringing in bench guys starting late-1Q. It was a complete mismatch for Schroder against Morris. Nets do not really have much of a chance with Jack-Morris manning point guard.

Lee worked over Noah-Gibson during late-3Q, early-4Q, but did not have the same success against Gasol-Noah during crunchtime. Chicago got important positive minutes from Mirotic, a good sign that he is getting back to his A-game. Huge number of shots by Rose looks like the Bulls offense turned back the clock to 2011.
