Griffin was sooooo close to a triple-double. Young missed a shot at the buzzer that would have given him his 10th assist.

So close! Awesome game.

Video Highlights
Was kinda angry at losing and forgot to upload a video so I'll just re-use this one.

[Andrew]

Tough loss, they really creamed you on the boards in that one. Hard to win when only a couple of your main guys are playing well but I'm sure you'll bounce back sooner rather than later.

[Phil89]

Guess I can't get 73 wins now either.

[Andrew]

70, 71 or 72 is still nothing to be ashamed of.

[Phil89]

22/2/13

Oklahoma City Thunder [42-10] vs Memphis Grizzlies [29-21]

Durant and Rose lead Thunder to win in Memphis



OKC - 31 28 34 38 131

Rose rescues the situation and finds Lopez near the basket.

[Andrew]

So close yet again!

[Phil89]

It's hard trying to coordinate stats for three separate players during games. Scoring 101 with Durant was much easier.

[Andrew]

Simply an epic game, an NBA record broken there.

[Phil89]

Most points in a game? I think this is the second time I've broken that record. I scored 189 against Phoenix during the season 1 playoffs.

[Ryan. M]

Looking real good this season, but I have 1 request...

GIVE YOUNG MORE MINUTES!

[Andrew]

Most points in a game? I think this is the second time I've broken that record. I scored 189 against Phoenix during the season 1 playoffs.

That's the one. That also just edges the record you set for most points scored by both teams combined, 378 to 377 in that game against the Suns.

[Phil89]

A perfect start as Durant sinks the three.

[Phil89]

Cool.

I'm finally caught up on games now. Monthly summary will be coming up soon. There's still only one game between myself and Miami.

[Andrew]

Another tough loss there, though the Spurs have a pretty decent lineup.

February 2013 Summary



February was a month of big trade deals. Zach Randolph headed back to New York, the Cavs cleared cap space and the Gasols teamed up in NOLA.
The Heat and Thunder continue to be the teams to beat for the championship. Incredibly only 1 win separates to two rivals at this point of the season.
Portland were the biggest climbers, moving from 11th to 6th seed out west and now sit within touching distance of Memphis in 2nd place.
There is currently a 5-way battle for the 8th seed in the east. Charlotte, Cleveland, Orlando,Toronto and Milwaukee are all hoping to secure it.

[Andrew]

Amazing that LeBron got Player of the Month, considering Bosh's continued dominance. Good to see Durant in the MVP discussion and your guys among the league leaders.

[Phil89]

I was more surprised that Durant didn't get player of the month considering he scored 72 and is averaging about 50 ppg in the last 6 games.

[kibaxx7]

Rudy is completely on FUEGO. Also... there's no better rookies in the East?
