Miami Heat – LeBron James & The No Fun Mask
The NBA didn’t approve of LeBron James wearing a black mask to protect his face, so he donned a less entertaining version. The result was the same: A good game for the league’s defending MVP, while the Miami Heat won again, having no trouble whatsoever beating the Orlando Magic 112-98.

Alan Pardew Headbutts David Meyler

Oklahoma City Thunder – Russell Westbrook “Curse” Is Over
For a moment there, after three consecutive home losses since his comeback, it actually seemed like Russell Westbrook was the cause of all problems for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

One of the most surprising statistics floating around recently has been about the Chicago Bulls, who just happen to be the best team in the Eastern Conference so far in 2014. Even down by double digits against a good Dallas Mavericks team, the combination of Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson and Jimmy Butler is strong enough on both ends of the floor to pull them back and win 100-91.
