Lost in March Madness, I’ve definitely forgotten the NBA is going on. But it is, and I’ve neglected it long enough. Here’s some scores from last night.

San Antonio Spurs 88, Dallas Mavericks 81: Watching the Mavs recently, I’ve gotta ask: Was it that New Jersey had little talent around Jason Kidd, and that’s why he wasn’t performing, or could it possible that Jason Kidd just isn’t that great anymore? Since he’s come to Dallas, he’s yet to dazzle, the Mavs have lost seven of the 17 he’s played in, and when they’ve won, I’m not sure you can say they’ve won because of his performance. Things didn’t get any better on Easter Sunday, as Dirk went down, and is expected to miss at least two weeks. Couple that with the fact that the Mavs are seventh in the West right now, and Denver is only two games back, and you’ve got yourself a Mark Cuban crisis.

Denver Nuggets 109, Toronto Raptors 100: The Raptors have Bosh back, and he’s helped the offense, but the team is still struggling. AI and ‘Melo combined for 69 points for the surging Nuggets, who are trying their best to make a playoff push.

Detroit Pistons 83, Washington Wizards 85: It’ll be interesting to see how the Wizards react to the return of Agent Zero, who is set to come back soon. They’ve played great without him, and if things don’t go smooth immediately, you’ll start to hear some grumbling in Washington that they’re better off without Arenas.

Golden State Warriors 115, LA Lakers 111
: Kobe Bryant had 36 points, but it took him 30 shots to get there. Golden State distributed the ball pretty evenly, landing four players in double digits, lead by Monta Ellis and Stephen Jackson’s 31.
