LAst Night's Action: You Gotta' Have Hart

Clippers 104, Bucks 103 - The roller coaster continues for Los Angeles. They watched a 22 point third quarter lead crumble away in the fourth. With less than a minute to play, Milwaukee held a three point edge. Then the Clippers got a basket from Corey Maggette with 45 seconds and another by Jason Hart with only three ticks left. The win pushed LA back into sole possession of the eighth seed in the Western Conference playoff race.

Stars 4, Kings 2 - In another depressing chapter for the Kings, they now hold an NHL record for being the only team to be swept twice in an 8+ game season series. Dallas beat Los Angeles in all eight meetings this year, matching what St. Louis did in 1969-70. The Stars had the tying and go-ahead goals within 79 seconds of each other in the third period.

Elsewhere - Michael Jordan has finally become too big for his own good, or for the good of the league ... USC's spring practice is underway. On a radio interview on Wednesday, Pete Carroll was flummoxed by the word "hyperbole." Ironic, since his teams and players are often heralded as the second coming of the 1972 Miami Dolphins, Joe Montana, and Vince Lombardi all rolled into one ... The legend of OJ Mayo continues to grow.
