Recap Roundups
March 13, 2017
Chicago 115, Charlotte 109
The Chicago Bulls were in dire need of a spark, and Rajon Rondo provided it.
Toronto 100, Dallas 78
It starts with getting stops. Then the offense can do its thing, getting out and running.
Memphis 113, Milwaukee 93
It wasn't vintage "Vin-sanity" but it did border on perfection.
San Antonio 107, Atlanta 99
The San Antonio Spurs take pride in their reputation as a blue-collar, do-whatever-it-takes team and understand that success in the regular season means little if it doesn't produce the ultimate goal -- another NBA championship.
Minnesota 119, Washington 104
Ricky Rubio had heard his name enough in trade rumors and admitted that the constant buzz was something that wore on him. The consistent smile from the Spaniard isn't as present as it was in his early years with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Utah 114, L.A. Clippers 108
Two different times this season, the Utah Jazz seemed powerless to prevent the Los Angeles Clippers from draining every ounce of life and energy from their offense. The Clippers contested shot after shot, forced bunches of turnovers and eventually handed Utah two of its worst offensive performances of the season.
Sacramento 120, Orlando 115
Through all the losses and his team's drop in the standings, Sacramento Kings coach Dave Joerger stayed steady in his message that he was seeing positive things from his players.
Denver 129, L.A. Lakers 101
As the postgame media crowded around Will Barton's locker, Denver coach Michael Malone walked by and shouted, "They weren't there last game! The Thrill is back!"
