NBA scores 10/31

Cavs 90 Bobcats 79

Watch out.. the Cavs are close to being back at full strength.. Delonte West played his first game since being arrested for gun charges. He scored 13 pts (5-7 fg), 2 rebs, 2 ast in 24 mins of action. Not bad for someone who missed 4 training camp practices and all of the preseason games. Mo Williams is staring to find his rhythm early scoring 24 pts. Lebron made short work of the Bobcats scoring only 14 pts but having 9 ast and 7 rebs. The interior was pretty much shut by Z and Shaq having 5 and 2 blocks respectively. For the Bobcats, G Wallace scored 11 pts and pulled down 9 boards. Boris Diaw had 7 pts while dishing out 9 ast.

Wizards 123 Nets 104

Agent Zero is back, and he's back better than ever. 32 pts, 7 ast in just 30 mins on the floor. Andre Blatche had an awesome game scoring 30 pts in 15-18 shots. Randy Foye is solid with 17 pts and 8 ast. Caron Butler sat out the game due to knee injury but should be back soon as it is nothing serious. Devin Harris also sat out the game with a sore right groin. Douglas-Roberts picked up the scoring load having 25 pts, 4 rebs and 3 ast. Their off season acquisitions Courtney Lee and Rafer Alston contributed to their new team having 17 and 20 pts respectively with the latter dishing out 8 dimes.

76ers 121 Knicks 115

When you are up against the Knicks your offense will have no problems. Philadelphia had 4 players scoring 20 pts or more, AI (32), Williams (27), Young (25), Speights (20). The big AI and Lou both had near triple doubles by grabbing 11 boards, 8 ast and 10 boards, 7 ast respectively. Gallinari had 30 pts, 3 rebs, 3 ast. Al Harrington exploded with 42 pts and 6 rebounds however that effort wasn't enough to put away the 76ers in overtime. Lou Williams took a page out of Lebron's book by scoring the last 17 pts of the ballgame to rally them past the Knicks.

Bucks 96 Pistons 85

Rookie Brandon Jennings is making a name for himself scoring 24 pts to lead his team past Detroit. Warrick outscored the whole Detroit bench 21-14. The Milwaukee bench showed their worth today by putting in 52 pts. Down 49-38 at the half, the Bucks used a 28-8 run to put the Pistons away. Ben Gordon chipped in 26 pts, Stuckey had 13 pts, 6 rebs and 8 ast.

Spurs 113 Kings 94

Kevin Martin had a big game scoring 29 pts and Hawes added 22 pts but that wasn't enough to put away the San Antonio Spurs. Tony Parker and the rest of the gang made the Halloween nightmare of the kings come true. Manu Ginobili never ceases to impress by capturing a bat with his bare hands. “When you can’t dunk anymore, you have to find a way to make it into the news,” Ginobili said. “So that’s what I did. I grabbed a bat. I didn’t think it was a big deal.”

Rockets 111 Trailblazers 107

No Yao, No Tracy, No Problem for the Rockets. Their prized acquisition (Trevor Ariza) from the off-season proved his worth putting in 33 pts, while the mighty Aaron Brooks gave 28 pts as the Rockets weathered Brandon Roy's 42 pts and Aldridge's 27 to pull off the win at home. The Rockets shot a magnificent 50% from 3 pt distance. Greg Oden is still developing his game contributing 6 pts, 9 rebs and swatting 3 shots.

Mavs 93 Clippers 84

Interesting enough, the Mavs were the first team the Clippers defeated last season but there won't be a de ja vu this year. Nowitzki poured in 24 pts and 9 rebs, the Matrix gave 16 pts and 11 boards, the Jet contributed 16 pts, 6 ast and 4 stls. Chris Kaman had 27 pts and 11 rebounds. Eric Gordon added 16 pts. The Mavs were determined not to hand the Clippers its first win in two consecutive years. The Clippers are still without their prized rookie Blake Griffin.
