Welcome Back, Guys: Russell Westbrook played his first game since his knee injury in the playoffs last Spring. Kevin Durant opted to get introduced first in the starting line-ups, so Westbrook could go last and get a nice Thunder(rous) welcome. Kd, you are nice.
Brandon Jennings also made his Detroit Pistons debut. He made a pretty standard Brad Jennings fake and layup but also a supercool pass while on his...butt.
Duel: Melo and KLove went at it last night. You could argue that the T'wolves came on top cause Love had more help in fellow-Kevin, Kev Martin scoring 30 points on 12 shots. Or you could credit it to Mr. Love having an ultra efficient 35-15-5. I'm glad that the Wolves won this one though cause it produced this awkward slap-five between Spike and Love.
A lot: Eric Bledsoe had 26 points, shot 12 free throws, grabbed 7 rebounds, dished out 14 assists, and turned the ball over 8 times. That is a bunch of good things and one not so good thing for a point guard. However, with Dragic spraining his ankle, we might be able to expect more of these high output (for the good and for the bad) games.

Pretty Boss: Magic rookie Victor Oladipo had a big game as Orlando defeated the much ho-hummed Brooklyn Nets team. Specifically, his rip of Deron Williams followed by a 360 was kind of neat.
Vic Oladipo's weapon of choice last night seemed to be the full circle spin whether in the air or on the ground as he also had another nice move where he split multiple defenders with the ole spinaroo.
Important Threes: 8 different Lakers made three-point shots and the Lakers won by 2, 105-103. Good thing none of those 8 decided to not take/make one less three cause the Lakeshow needed everyone of those points to beat the Hawks.

Other: Last night, Pistons wore their Motor City jersey alternaties...Terio was at the Heat game and DWade slapped hands with him...If you are like me and wondered how bad a 7 footer missing a dunk could look, check out Bargnani's attempt...Kawai Leonard is signing a shoe deal to officially become a member of Jordan Brand and according to MyPlayer mode, that means Kawai is doing pretty well...more proof that Terio was at the Heat game.
