Leave it to the leap year to provide a head-scratching night of NBA action.  Here's a quick rundown of how each game went down and all of the important stuff.

Indiana 122 @ Toronto 111:

After a handful of disappointing games (and disappointing calls against the Pacers) they came back with a vengence in Toronto where teams have not had much success.  Playing short-handed without Granger, Tinsley, and O'Neal Indiana took advantage of the injury to Bosh.  Those who have been observing Indiana (all 3 of us) have seen that they have offensive talent.  Warriors fans would even be quick to point out Mike Dunleavy's prominence the past few games, and now they have a win to show for it.  If Bosh is out for extended time put a fork in Toronto when they lose home-court advantage.

Charlotte 100 @ Boston 108:

This one was as close to a fill-in-the-blanks victory as you can get.  Playing without Gerald Wallace and already being a laughingstock of the league it didn't take a rocket scientist to pick the Celtics.  Not alot to see here but the impending acquisition of Sam Cassell's effect on Rajon Rondo.  Rondo has done a great job this year and in many ways has been a catalyst for this team on both ends of the floor.  Watch out for a Phoenix-type over-thinking move to acquire E.T. that might adversely affect team chemistry.

New York 93 @ Atlanta 99

The Mike Bibby acquisition is apparently paying off for Atlanta, and they could make some noise in the East with their young talent.  Ultimately, they will not win because half of their team still hasn't played more than a year or two.  However, they're doing what young teams do.  That is, play up and down basketball and compete night in and night out.  Bibby is showing why Sacramento was a dominant team this decade even if he has lost a step or two.  Tonight there were 24 lead changes and it was an ugly game.  Notice, however, that Atlanta was able to pick up a win in this ugly game, a sign that this team is ready to win.

Minnesota 84 @ Cleveland 92

Tomorrow night will be the big night for Cleveland as they face Chicago in a battle of swapped teammates.  However, tonight the Cavs showed why Danny Ferry made a good call in bringing in the litanny of players that he did.  Minnesota played well throughout the game and kept it close but Delonte West and Joe Smith started to show the chemistry that ought to be making the Celtics and Pistons uncomfortable.  The fact that they have Smith, Z, Wallace, and Sideshow Bob on the inside is great news for Lebron, who is playing through an ankle injury ala Kobe Bryant to help the team gel.  When Boobie comes back it will be interesting to see if King James will be the X factor that upsets one of the favorites.

Utah 98 @ New Orleans 110

This game was won in the first quarter and half as the Hornets went on a 23-0 run that the Jazz could never come back from.  Chris Paul and Deron Williams played magnificently although CP3 had the upper hand in this tilt.  With the Hornets winning all these games they could challenge the Lakers for the #1 seed which brings up an interesting point.  If they do get the #1 seed they would face incredible pressure from whomever the #8 seed is.  A young team like the Hornets would be hard pressed to handle that type of pressure, even if they are at home.
