LAst Night's Action: So Many Questions

Knicks 102, Clippers 90 - Each team had five players score in double digits with just four other players adding 16 points to the game. The Clippers dominated the first half, leading by as many as 12 and going into the locker room up by 10. Something pretty inspirational must have happened at intermission, because New York scored the first ten points to even it up, then went on to win by 12. What did coach Isiah Thomas say at half time?

Lightning 3, Kings 2, SO - The Kings once again snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, refusing to score in overtime and standing up to Tampa Bay's three shoot out goals with one of their own. Defenseman Mike Weaver celebrated his first career goal after a mere 123 games. Could anything be more symbolic of the King's futility this year?

Ducks 7, Sharks 4 - With the Sharks chomping on the Duck's feet for first place in the Pacific Division, Anaheim ensured that they'll keep the top spot for at least a few more games. They scored four goals on just 12 shots in the second period, taking a 6-1 lead into the third. Much like the flashy way Anaheim started their season, they proceeded to fall on their face and give up three straight goals in less than 13 minutes. Anaheim outlasted San Jose in the game -- now can they do it for the rest of the season?

College - Why can't Mario rest in peace? ... UCLA football coach Karl Dorell gets an extension. Are USC fans celebrating in the streets? ... UCLA and USC face off Wednesday in Pauley Pavilion for Pac 10 hoops bragging rights. Could USC be a #7 seed? ... College Football Signing Day is tomorrow. Could Florida end USC's reign?

Elsewhere - Does everybody love the new Kobe? ... What else does Peyton Manning need? ... Want to try the hardest workout ever?
