Nets beat Clippers
Kris Humphries scored a career-high 25 points and the New Jersey Nets avoided the worst 44-game start in NBA history with a 103-87 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.
The Nets (4-40) were tied with the 1993-94 Dallas Mavericks (3-40) for the NBA’s worst record after 43 games and all they had to do was lose another to secure another mark in this miserable season that opened with a league-record 18 straight losses.
It didn’t happen although the Nets managed to blow a 16-point first-half lead in the third quarter before winning for the first time in 2010.
New Jersey snapped an 11-game losing streak, their third double-digit losing skid of the season. If you find any NBA team playing well in spite of poor ranking you have the chance of winning the bet on online betting sites. Most important sports betting tip is that the key to winning is how you approach betting in general.
2nd in row for Wizards
The world didn’t come to a standstill when Gilbert Arenas was suspended indefinitely by the NBA, the season wasn’t canceled when he pleaded guilty to a felony. The Washington Wizards have to continue to show up for games and play them, and they’re actually doing OK.
Washington beat the Portland Trail Blazers 97-92 on Monday, giving the team a two-game winning streak for only the fourth time this season. There was a blowout loss at Cleveland hours after Arenas’ suspension was announced Jan. 6, but since then the Wizards are 3-4 and haven’t dropped a game by more than 12 points.
“We’re just trying to find a cure,” said captain Antawn Jamison, who scored 21 of his 28 points in the second half. “And the only cure we can find right now is to win. The more we win, the more we get things going in the right direction, the better this story turns out.
