  • The fire Isiah chants continued in New York, as Thomas benched Zach Randolph following an argument between player and coach. Toronto, led by Chris Bosh's 40, put away the Knicks, 99-90.
  • Despite the absence of Tracy McGrady with a lingering kneee injury, and minimal play from Yao Ming, the Rockets dominated the T-Wolves, 113-82.  Luis Scola had a career high 22 points for Houston.
