Recap Roundups
March 27, 2017
Toronto 131, Orlando 112
The Toronto Raptors had lost to the Orlando Magic the two previous times the teams faced each other.
New York 109, Detroit 95
The New York Knicks started playoff spoiler week with an impressive 109-95 win over the Detroit Pistons on Monday at Madison Square Garden.
San Antonio 103, Cleveland 74
The last opponent any team wants to play when it's struggling is San Antonio, which has cool efficiency, constant defensive pressure and a deep bench that runs weaker teams ragged. Just ask LeBron James and his slumping Cleveland Cavaliers, who on Monday became the latest victim of the Spurs' juggernaut.
Oklahoma City 92, Dallas 91
For those who believe Russell Westbrook is a one-man team, Monday night did little to change their minds.
Sacramento 91, Memphis 90
The Sacramento Kings will be staying home from the playoffs for the 11th straight season, a period during which they haven't cracked .500. But they hardly seem to be playing out the string.
Utah 108, New Orleans 100
A lack of fire and energy became enough of a problem in recent losses to cause Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert to publicly question the competitiveness of his teammates. They answered the criticism in the best way possible.
