Clippers 100, Boston 89 - The Clippers have struggled on the road, so it was nice to play somebody who's even worse on their own court. Before the game, Boston had lost 10 home games in a row and was just 4-18 in the Garden. Los Angeles handed them another loss, which extended an even uglier streak. The Celtics have dropped 14 consecutive games dating back to January 5. Their departure from dynasty has become 49er like. The Clippers, with seven victories in their last eight games, are moving in a different direction. They're up to seventh seed in the playoffs and look like the successful franchise from last year.
Pacers 95, Lakers 84 - The Lakers were up by as much as 70-61, but just couldn't hold on. Solid defense by Indiana held Los Angeles to 38% shooting and forced 20 turnovers. Danny Granger held Kobe to 22 points. While a good total for most players, it didn't live up to his typical star performance. He'll face "rival" Gilbert Arenas on Saturday in Washington to mark the half way point of the Laker's eight game road trip.
