Hassan Adams’ signing with Toronto this summer barely made a ripple on the NBA landscape and things were compounded when he was slowed by an injury to his shoulder earlier this season. Now that he’s healthy and playing without a shoulder sleeve he’s ready to contribute during games, not just on the practice court.

Prior to the game, Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas said that he played two-on-two for the first time since his injury and he felt pretty good. Still no definite word as to when he’s coming back, but for a 6-25 team that is starved for some sort of bright spot, that sounded pretty good.

Toronto withstood a 39 point barrage from Dwight Howard to escape with a 108-102 victory. Anthony Parker led the way for Toronto with 26 points while going a sizzling 13-for-16 from the field.

HEAT head coach Stan Van Gundy gushed about the potential of Courtney Lee and hyped up Rashard Lewis as having an All-Star caliber season.

West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins wouldn’t come right out and say how much he loved it, but there was little doubt that he did. Huggins’ West Virginia Mountaineers stomped into Columbus a couple of days after Christmas and hung a 28-point smack down on the 13th-ranked Buckeyes on OSU’s home court.

No Jose Calderon? No problem. The Raptors defense was firing on all cylinders tonight as they held Houston to a season low 73 points.

Minutes after winning the 900th game of his illustrious coaching career, George Karl sat down with the media in Toronto to reminisce for nearly 20 minutes.
