Warriors 135, Hawks 118: Neither team played defense, but at least one team managed to play more offense. Baron Davis had 18 points in the first quarter and finished the game with 35, leading the Warriors over the Hawks in a game that featured no one worried about stealing, blocking, or trying to turn the ball over. Five Hawks players finished in double figure scoring, led by Joe Johnson’s 38 points.

Supersonics 97, Pistons 100: The Pistons gave up 41 points to the hapless Sonics in the first quarter, but pulled it together late and managed the win. Kevin Durant scored 20 points, and even managed 50 percent shooting, one of the few nights he’s been able to do so. Tayshaun Prince led the Pistons with 24.

Nets 70, Spurs 81: Tim Duncan scored 29 points on 21 shots — he rarely attempts that many — to keep the Spurs in first place in the West. Newly acquired Devin Harris had 13 points for the struggling Nets, who would normally be fading fast in the East, but since it’s the East they’re really just staying put. (Can you imagine this team making it into the playoffs? It’s very, very possible and, at this point, probable.)

Suns 97, Trail Blazers 92: It’s good to see that Shaq can catch a break, and all the focus won’t be on how bad the Suns have gotten since they acquired him in the trade that dealt Marion to Miami. Big Daddy only had six points and 13 rebounds, but a win’s a win, and right now Phoenix will take whatever it can get.

Lakers 117, Kings 105: Kobe Bryant scored 34 points, Pau Gasol chipped in with 31 — only when you play with Kobe is scoring 31 points considered a “chip in” — and the Lakers maintained their pace with the Spurs to share the top spot in the West. Ron Artest led the way for the Kings with 23 points.
