A much-needed victory at Madison Square Garden for Houston.

The Rockets snapped a two-game losing streak against the Knicks with a big win 119-97. This brings Houston to a 6-3 record as New York dropped to 3-4 on the young season.

The Rockets started the game very sloppy as the Knicks jumped out to an early first quarter lead. However, a 14-0 run with Harden resting on the bench pushed the Rockets out in front for good. 12 points was the difference at halftime as the Rockets lead 60-48.

The Knicks beat the Cavs for the first time in 11 tries.

Regular victory!

Sunday night’s clash with the Cleveland Cavaliers looked to be yet another one of those games where New York plays well for three periods before faltering down the stretch to a superior club. The three-time defending conference champs—who had won their last 10 games against the ‘Bockers—trimmed a 17-point lead to six within the first few minutes of the fourth quarter. Kristaps Porzingis was being guarded by LeBron James, who is pretty good at basketball, and was struggling mightily to get off his shot. Oh well.

Pesky Dirk stifled by Sefolosha to secure the win

All’s well that ends well. The Utah Jazz started out on fire. At one point in the first quarter their offensive rating was a sizzling 214.3. Rudy Gobert was hitting 20 foot jump shots, Derrick Favors was making three pointers. We really had no idea what had gotten into this team.

When the Warriors decided to take over the game, Detroit said not so fast.

The Golden State Warriors treated the Detroit Pistons like most NBA watchers — as an afterthought. No-offense Stanley Johnson is a starter? Cute. Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson the linchpins of the offense? How well did that work for you last year? Marcus Morris and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope gone? Weren’t they your two best players?
