11/26/07 - Upset City

Player of the Night: Caron Butler - 35 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 13-17 FG, 4-4 FT, 5-5 3pt as Washington surprised the Mavs with a 110-98 win. Butler has been nothing short of spectacular since Gilbert Arenas went down, putting up huge numbers and keeping the Wizards' heads above water with the help of Antawn Jamison.

Game of the Night: Knicks 113 - Jazz 109. This was one of five upsets on the night, and considering the situation with the Knicks at the moment it's probably the most unexpected one. Stephon Marbury, of all people, put together a great game and seems to be playing his way out of Isiah Thomas' doghouse. Huh, I guess anything can happen.

"Glue Line" of the Night: Brad Miller - 17 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks. Brad Miller is surprisingly, and quietly, putting up a decent year: 11.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks. The guy is finally playing like a center.

Watch Tomorrow: Celtics-Cavaliers in Cleveland. KG and the Celtics attempt to dethrone King James by ending his streak of triple-doubles, which is currently at two. For Cleveland, relying on James alone won't be enough, and there will be a lot of pressure on Drew Gooden and Zydrunas Ilgauskas to stop Garnett.
