Random Tidbits and Notes

Francisco Garcia’s four blocks was the second time in two weeks that he’s done that…Kudos to Kyle Korver for setting the consecutive 3-point record…Wonder if Stephen Curry has his eyes on that one…Carmelo Anthony is a special talent, but I’m most impressed with Iman Shumpert’s emergence right now…If Dwight Howard shoots 60 percent from the FT line and cleans the defensive glass like he did last night, the Rockets will be tough to beat.
