Yeah, hopefully can find a way to get Coyote mascot in the game as well, not sure why 2k did not include him, he has been around for awhile.

That's looking better. Maybe needs to be slightly darker with some grey streaks, but again, I love the creativity of the idea.

DENVER - "We're on the right track, it's a big win against a team like Seattle" Rose said after scoring 17 points and dishing 9 assists. Nuggets have won 3 straight and improved 3-1 after a loss from Lakers on opening night. Nuggets won close games, 1 point lead against Spurs and Warriors where Nuggets needed an overtime. "He's (Rose) shooting the ball with confidence. When you have players like him, the game gets really easy for him and for everybody else." Coach Bickerstaff said. It was close for 3 quarters but Nuggets found the right defense to shutdown the Sonics in the 4th, outscoring the Seattle 33-19. The Nuggets made a 11-2 run with 4:01 remaining in the 4th, 98-95. 3 Nuggets players scored 20+ points lead by Reggie Williams 23 points, Antonio McDyess 22 points and 13 rebounds and Abdul-Rauf 21 points.

FLORIDA - Miami shot 39% in the 1st half and did not recover. Hakeem finished with 24 points and 13 rebounds to help Rockets defeat the Miami Heat and anticipated a challenging game vs Alonzo Mourning who was acquired via trade with Glenn Rice. "We were able to get stops, we shared the ball well, it's nice to against the league's top centers." Hakeem said. "We gave away the win against the Bucks, we made sure it does not happen again. It's always nice if you can have your best player on the floor for more than 30 minutes," Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich said. Clyde Drexler was the game's high scorer with 25 points and guard Cassell added 21 points

Rockets led the most part of the game. Heat was able to tie the game at 78-all with 10:12 remaining in the 4th thru Willis' free throw show and grab the lead 81-80 when Bimbo Coles made a 3-point shot 8:41 remaining. Rockets' defense is all over after that, Kenny Smith even blocks Mourning's shot in the post and made 2 clutch 3-points with shot clock winding down. "We will make it hard for him whoever is guarding him" Kenny Smith said. Alonzo still had a monster game with 17 points and 18 rebounds. Kevin Willis was the top scorer with 22 points. "We let other factors affect us," Willis said. "We let them take control of the game. They have the lead and were still playing poor defense."

Rockets will travel next to Minnesota who had an escaped win against Lakers while Heat will host undefeated New Jersey.

Kenny Anderson keeps Nets winning streak for 104-99 win over Magic

Image

Kenny makes a layup against Penny Hardaway

FLORIDA - Even with Shaq and , both teams Magic and Nets have been doing a great defeating their opponents. Led by guard Kenny Anderson, the team's floor general and leading scorer, has been averaging 18.0 pts 10.3 asts in their 1st three games. New Jersey City's All-Star point guard scored 15 points and dished 12 assists in the game, and the Nets was able to win after wasting 16-point lead to keep the winning streak to three with a 104-99 victory over the Orlando Magic.

The Nets needed every bit of it -- forward Derrick Coleman still out due to a sore right knee.

It was close from the start with no team not leading by more than 4 points and 5 lead changes. Bench players made Jayson Williams grabbing 7 boards in the less than 6 minutes and has two followup dunks and wingman Donald Royal always ready when Magic has a fastbreak. Nets leads by 1 at end of first 23-22. Nets started strong in the 2nd and put a 29-22 and was able to stretch it 54-41 end of 2nd quarter led by Kenny Anderson's 5 assists and rookie Ed O'Bannon's perimeter shooting. The game looks like Nets is about to have a blow as they build a 16-point lead in the 3rd 61-45 9:30 remaining but Magic found a way rally led by Penny and Horace Grant. Magic was able to grab the lead again 87-86 after Penny made a 3-point shot and had a chance to put away the Nets with 94-90 lead but just kept on missing shots until Nets was able to tie the game 94-all with 2:25 remaining in the 4th.

(Watch the video to see how Nets won the game).

"One of the things we talked about that I said before the game tonight is that we have to defend at a higher level every single night. " Nets coach Butch Beard said. "Offensively, we struggled to get any kind of flow or continuity there, but I give our guys credit -- they still tried to work as hard as they could to defend, even though offensively, we had our challenges." "With Coleman out, certainly offensively, it's been a challenge the last several games, we are missing his 20 points per game " Anderson said. "I've been trying to find a way to keep helping our guys offensively in order to create an identity with him being out."

New Jersey next road game is against Miami Heat who just lost against Houston Rockets while Orlando Magic will visit Boston Celtics.

The 1995–96 NBA season was the season where 2 expansion teams were added in the North.

Rusty MJ came back in the previous season but came up short against the Magic during the playoffs. The Bulls have added Rodman hoping he will provide the muscle they are looking for at the middle.

Rockets just got their back-to-back championships but will Hakeem and Clyde do a three-peat?

Opening night, MJ is definitely on a mission, burning the Hornets with 48 points

Larry Johnson scores 33 points, Hornets stings Bullets 112-101

Larry Johnson posterizes 7-footer Romanian Gheorghe Muresan

WASHINGTON, MARYLAND

Hornets coach Allan Bristow told Larry Johnson to keep on attacking the post. When asked his reaction, LJ said "that's what I want to hear." Johnson had 33 points, and Charlotte beat the Washington Bullets 112-101 on Wednesday night for their 3rd straight victory of the season.

Through 4 games, the two-time All-Star is 7th in the league in PPG among power forwards, 17.0 and 2nd on assist 2.3 apg behind only Dennis Rodman
2.7 apg. "I hope I stay healthy this season just like last year." LJ added.

"We trust his post game, his moves are unbelievable, when you are 6'7" and you are dunking on a 7'7s and 6'10s, he is special " Reeves said who had a double-double with 17 points and 11 assists. "The confidence, the spacing around him, the movement around him, with Glen Rice above the 3-point line, expect those defenders to keep him in area." Though Glen Rice scored only 8 points on 4-10 shooting, the Hornets still led each quarter. Rookie Rasheed Wallace led Bullets with 21 points. Washington still misses the services of Chris Webber due to dislocated shoulder.

DALLAS,TEXAS

Milwaukee Bucks now know the reason why the Texas triangle road trip is tough. Bucks stole a win from Houston but not with Dallas Mavericks.

Jason Kidd also had 16 points and dished 6 assists and Lorenzo Williams crashed the boards with 11 rebounds and 4 blocks. Mavs scored 35 points in the 3rd shooting 62% of field goals, 10 assists. making 5/7 3-pointers and stopping the Bucks shooting to 31% only. "Vin was unstoppable, if you will ask he is the mvp tonight. We wanted to be aggressive, but then you've got to make the right plays. It was close in the 1st half, credit to our coaching staff and adjusted our gameplan after the halftime." Bucks returned the favor though in the 4th quarter by outscoring the Mavs 34-19 and came as close within 3 points 105-102 after Eric Murdock hit a corner three with 24.9 seconds left. Vin Baker had a solid game with 33 points and 14 boards. Glenn Robinson scored 28 points but had 5 turnovers and fouled out with 2:23 remaining in the 4th after baiting on Mashburn's fake. "They did a great job of switching tonight and forcing me work on my defense," Robinson said.

Milwaukee will face next San Antonio to complete it's Texas trip before going back home while Mavs will go up against Hawks who are facing Warriors as of this writing.

Just feel like I'm transported back to the 90's everytime I read this! I love the highlights and video work. Adds such a unique feel to it. Great presentation and photoshop work too. Loved the Shaq and Penny Magic. Hope they make a run at the East again.

Thanks man. 90's basketball were much better especially the rivalries. I'm a big Magic fan too, happy to see Magic is doing fine in spite of Shaq being sidelined due to injury. Nick Anderson and Penny are playing great, it was a sorry loss against the Nets. I will post their recent game against the Celtics.

I'm sorry if I missed it in an earlier post recapping injuries, but how long is Shaq out for?

I really like the card graphics by the way! Great stuff. Keep that up. (Y)

I also enjoyed the video for the Celtics vs. Orlando game. Penny really seemed to step up from the very beginning, then kind of fizzled as the fouls caught him. Anderson really did play very well. It's interesting seeing that knowing the narrative surrounding him following that Rockets / Magic Finals in real life. Hope he can keep that up and avoid that narrative in the game.

It's also interesting watching this, and this may be just me because I never owned anything beyond 2K17, but the graphics for 2K14 doesn't look that far off from what I have seen from 2K18 and even some clips from 2K19. :lol:

Here's something I found online about Shaq's injury in 1995 (credit to owner).
