Perfect Green – Danny Green had a perfect shooting night off the bench, making all seven of his field goals (5-5 3PT) and all three of his free-throws. In addition to his 22 points, he picked up three steals and two blocks in 27:12. Tony Parker led the Spurs in scoring with 23. The Mavs got 25 from Dirk Nowitzki, 23 from Monta Ellis and 20 from Vince Carter.

LaMarcus Fires – I’m an NBA junkie, but even I’m surprised at how much LaMarcus Aldridge is shooting this year. He scored 32 points with 10 rebounds on 15-of-31 shooting on Thursday night and leads the league in field goal attempts (598). Nicolas Batum hit a three to send the game to overtime as part of his 19 points. Chris Paul scored 34 with 16 assists and six steals, with Blake Griffin scoring 35 with 11 rebounds.
