Los Angeles Lakers – Sinking With Kobe Bryant
There are always two sides to the Kobe Bryant argument.

Denver Nuggets – Outlasting the Best Team in the NBA
They nearly didn’t make it, but one nice post up move from Kenneth Faried, topping off a big night from Corey Brewer and a huge night on the opposite end from Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, was enough for the Denver Nuggets to come away with a 121-118 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Los Angeles Clippers – Chris Paul Doesn’t Miss a Beat
First it was the huge three pointer by Chris Paul to give the Los Angeles Clippers a five point lead. It was followed by some slick ball handling, showing John Wall he has a long way to go before challenging the best point guard in the NBA, who looked a tad rusty, but still better than anyone else, returning from his injury-forced absence.
