Daily blurb
So much for home court advantage in the NBA. Four title contenders met in two nationally televised games last night, and the road team won each game. Orlando lost by four to Miami, in a game where the final score was closer than most of the game. And the Spurs beat the Lakers on a buzzer-beater tip in. Surprisingly, the Lakers are only 19-8 at home this year. They now depart on a 7-game road trip, and 14 of their next 17 games are on the road. Given their difficulty in swallowing home cooking, maybe that doesn’t really matter.

LeBron was a total beast last night, with 51 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 68% FG, 82% FT. That’s 80 RSCP, 71 FDP. No one else was even within shouting distance of those numbers. In fact, the second highest fantasy point output was from Luc Mbah a Moute, with 15 points, 19 boards, 5 assists and 2 steals, obviously filling the Bogut hole. Arguably, Kobe Bryant was just one rebound short of a triple double, but shot only 5-18 from the field, with no hustle stats.
