The Stat Line Of The Night — 2/17/11 — Derrick Rose
In a battle between two of the NBA’s best teams, it was a career-best performance from the NBA’s best point guard that would prove to be the difference. The San Antonio Spurs have three great guards of their own in Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Gary Neal, but they were no match for the Chicago [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 2/16/11 — Alexander Semin
Midway through the third period of last night’s game between the Washington Capitals and the Anaheim Ducks, it appeared as though “The Stat Line of the Night” would come down to a choice between two Ducks players; Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. Both players had recorded one goal and three assists each, and their team [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 2/15/11 — Dwyane Wade
Heading into last night’s game against the Indiana Pacers, Dwyane Wade’s status remained uncertain as he was believed to be nursing a sprained ankle.

Looking to keep pace with the Orlando Magic for fourth spot in the Eastern Conference standings, and a chance at home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, the Atlanta Hawks knew that a game against the lowly Detroit Pistons was one they simply had to win.

The Stat Line Of The Night — 2/13/11 — Rajon Rondo
The Heat and the Celtics hooked up in Boston on Sunday in what may very well be a preview of this year’s Eastern Conference finals. The Celtics would likely invite such a scenario as they have dominated LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the rest of the South Beach boys this season, beating them [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 2/10/11 — Carmelo Anthony
Despite all the trade rumors and other distractions Carmelo Anthony has had to endure off the court, the Denver Nuggets forward continues to bring it on the court. Heading into last night’s game against the red-hot Dallas Mavericks, Melo was averaging 32 points per game in his previous six games. He would improve upon that [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 2/9/11 — Dwight Howard
The Orlando Magic have struggled as of late, heading into last night’s game with only four wins in their previous nine contests. They have also struggled on the road, sitting only one game above .500 away from the Amway Center. That made the thought of earning a win in Philadelphia against a suddenly surging 76ers [...]
-
The Stat Line Of The Night — 2/7/11 — Mikael Samuelsson
After an outstanding playoff run last year that saw him record 15 points in 12 games, Mikael Samuelsson has had a difficult time duplicating that production this season. It is almost as if he has been on a season-long slump, but he finally appears to be breaking out of it as he entered last night’s [...]

After waiting in the wings as a back-up to Brett Favre, former first-round pick Aaron Rodgers finally had his opportunity to deliver a Super Bowl to the Green Bay Packers organization and their fans, and he would not disappoint. Rodgers has been the most dominant quarterback throughout the NFL playoffs and that didn’t change during [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 2/3/11 — LeBron James
At the beginning of the season the Miami Heat made it known to all that they are looking to win a Championship. In order to do so, they will likely have to go through the Orlando Magic at some point during their playoff run. That made last night’s meeting between the two teams that much [...]
-
The Stat Line Of The Night – 2/2/11 – Johan Franzen
If ever there was a good game for Johan Franzen to break out into one of his patented scoring sprees, last night’s was it. His Detroit Red Wings were on the road visiting the slumping Ottawa Senators, who have had trouble scoring in recent games, but they erupted for five goals against the Wings’ Jimmy [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night – 2/1/11 – LaMarcus Aldridge
Not many teams have had success against the San Antonio Spurs this season, and the odds appeared to be stacked against the Portland Trail Blazers last night. Playing without two key players in Brandon Roy and Greg Oden for most of the year, the Blazers have had a much more difficult time finding wins compared [...]
-
The Stat Line Of The Night – 1/31/11 – Blake Griffin
The Los Angeles Clippers went into last night’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks at the Staples Center having won their previous eight home games, and after watching his double-double streak end last week, the Clippers superstar rookie, Blake Griffin was not about to let another streak come to a halt. Griffin was doing it all [...]
-
The Stat Line Of The Night – 1/30/11 – Marcin Gortat
When Marcin Gortat was traded from the Orlando Magic to the Phoenix Suns as part of a six-player swap on December 18, his name was believed to be an afterthought in a deal that included the likes of Vince Carter, Hedo Turkoglu and Jason Richardson. However, Gortat has not only proven to be an impact [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night – 1/27/11 – Landry Fields
When awarding a “Stat Line of the Night,” one must remember that while big numbers are always impressive, nothing is more important that getting your team the win.
