Celtics 90 - Pistons 78

The Celtics are in the playoffs. Wow, before this season I didn't think I'd say that this century but they are in after their 90-78 win over the Pistons at home last night.

Kevin Garnett led the way for the Celtics scoring a season high 31 points and this great play to just kill the pistons.

Cavaliers 119 - Knicks 105

Stephon Marbury's return to MSG was overshadowed by LeBron James, by far. LeBron came in to MSG last night and dropped 50 points, 10 dimes and 8 boards to lead the Cavs past the knicks 119-105.

Fans in New York finally had something to cheer for, LeBron James, went 16-30 from the field with 7 three pointers. One fan got extra excited and decided that he just had to meet the star. He ran onto the floor toward the Cavs bench and said a few things to LeBron before he was escorted out of the building by security and arrested.

LeBron James' night was so good, he even got a chance to chat with Jay-Z. Must be nice to be able to rub shoulders with Jigga like that.

Nuggets 126 - Suns 113

Carmelo Anthony dropped a double double on the Suns which led the way for them in their 126-113 win over the Suns. Melo had 30 points and 13 rebounds.

Melo caught some flak for being just an average rebounder at 6'8.

"I always kid with him about not being a rebounder, being so big,'' Allen Iverson said. "I say, 'If I was your height, I'd get a double-double every night.'''

With Iversons toughness I beleive it. Melo is pretty good anyway.
