Out of all the Game 2 victories from last night that was of any importance, it was the Phoenix Suns victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. The Suns lost home-court advantage, so it was important for them to come out strong to get a victory. They did just that, winning 119-90. G Jason Richardson had 29 points, and G Steve Nash had 13 points and 16 assists. F Martell Webster led the Blazers with only 16 points. Game 3 is Thursday night in Portland.
The Boston Celtics made a statement by blowing out the Miami Heat without F Kevin Garnett. Garnett was suspended for Game 2 because of an elbow he threw that connected with Heat F Quentin Richardson in Game 1. The Celtics won 106-77, with big contributions from F Glen Davis and G Ray Allen. G Dwyane Wade was the lone bright spot for the Heat as they head back to Miami down 2-0.
The Atlanta Hawks dominated the Milwaukee Bucks, beating the 96-86 to take a 2-0 series lead to Milwaukee. The Bucks have continued to show they can't generate enough offense without C Andrew Bogut. Coach Scott Skiles has to figure out what's going to work for the Bucks. G Brandon Jennings and G John Salmons has to get their offense going in order to win a game in this series. I don't think the Bucks will win a game, and that's because of the loss of Bogut.
The Los Angeles Lakers escaped with their Game 2 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. F Kevin Durant scored 32 points, and G Russell Westbrook chipped in 19 points. After a lackluster performance in Game 1, G Kobe Bryant scored 39 points to lead the Lakers over the Thunder. C Pau Gasol scored 25 points as well. The Thunder came very close, with F Jeff Green missing the three-pointer as time expired. Game 3 is Thursday night in Oklahoma City, which is sure to be electric.
