Meanwhile, the game got testy late, with two ejections and New York coach Isiah Thomas becoming agitated after taunts by a Celtics player, reports the Post . Elsewhere: More »

  Globe and Mail | Jan 19, 08 12:29 AM CST

It's now 2.5, after Chris Bosh's 35 points led the Raptors to an 89-78 win. It was an incident-free first meeting between the teams since a hard foul knocked Toronto's T.J. Ford out of action.

  Seattle Post-Intelligencer | Jan 17, 08 3:44 AM CST
  
  (Newser) - The Hornets were up by 19 points at halftime last night, and although Seattle briefly showed some spark in a 15-4 third-quarter run, the Sonics fell further behind to lose by their familiarly large margin.
