NBA ScoreBoard:
A quick guide to last Wednesday’s games (December 9th, 2015)

• Chicago Bulls V.S. Boston Celtics--Ended in a 105-100 win for the Bostonians last Wednesday night. Chicago held on tight as the visiting team, refusing to go down without a fight, yet Boston ended up knowing how to ride the bull.
• Miami Heat V.S. Charlotte Hornets--Our beloved team fell to the Charlotte Hornets at a final score of 81-99 loss. Let’s hope that our next game takes place in Wade-County rather than North Carolina, where we got badly stung.
• Houston Rockets V.S. Washington Wizards- Surely, another close game, which ended as win for the Rockets. Houston launched off the ground with a total of 109 points, compared to 103 for Washington. I’m sure they wanted to disappear afterwards.
  
• Memphis Grizzlies V.S. Detroit Pistons- Perhaps the most grueling of the night’s games, Memphis certainly showed their claws in this face off, defeating Detroit by just a one point lead. Final Score: 93-92
  
• San Antonio Spurs V.S. Toronto Raptors- It truly seems like on Wednesday night, none these NBA teams were using the word “friendly match,” in their vocabulary.  Toronto ended up taking the gold, with a 97-94 win. Perhaps the Spurs will be able to disperse their players better.  
• Los Angeles Clippers V.S. Milwaukee Bucks- Considering this was one of the least competitive games, the Bucks still fought relentlessly, yet they ended up “clipped” from the win. Final score: Clippers 109- Bucks 95
  
• Los Angeles Lakers V.S. Minnesota Timberwolves- In regards to this match, Let’s just say  that  Kobe Bryant retire statement, delivered a very poetic manner by the way, has the team overflowing, both emotionally and physically. They sure were cut from the roots, after the wolves ate them for dinner with a score of 123-122. Better luck next time Lakers!
  
• Orlando Magic V.S. Phoenix Suns- I guess this game just goes to show that science trumped Magic. The sun sure did outshine those Orlando magicians with a barely-there-but-breathing score of 107-104!
• New York Knicks V.S. Utah Jazz-  Now, for New-York to have their own knickers in a bunch, is something unheard of. However, the ultra-suave Utah team harmonized.    
  
• Atlanta Hawks V.S. Dallas Mavericks- After being severely rounded up by Atlanta, the Mavericks lost their game with a final score of: 95-98!
