Lakers 111, Nuggets 107 - Allen Iverson lit up the scoreboard with 51 points but three Lakers responded with big nights of their own. Kobe Bryant scored 25, Vladimir Radmanovic added 21, and Derek Fisher had 20. Despite his big night, the Lakers only allowed Iverson one layup in the fourth quarter.

Sonics 95, Clippers 88 - Seven is unlucky for the Clipper -- it's how many games they've lost in a row. Seattle led by as many as 17 and Los Angeles never really threatened.

Ducks 4, Sabres 1 - Anaheim has been struggling -- by their standard -- but blew Buffalo off the ice after falling behind early in the first period. The big news was an announcement that Scott Niedermayer will return to the team. He missed the first 29 games of the season while considering retirement. Teemu Selanne has yet to decide whether or not he will retire, but hopefully will announce his decision before the season ends.

Coyotes 4, Kings 1 - Los Angeles was pushed into the cellar of the Western Conference by the hands of its previous occupant. The King's lone goal was by Michael Cammalleri on a power play.
