The Bulls, without Michael Jordan, sit 29-12 at midseason, with Phil Jackson noting renewed effort and focus. East rivals Knicks and Hawks contend for top seeding as Seattle Houston and Phoenix pace the West toward 60-win potential.
Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Atlanta Hawks 109 93 in Richfield led by John Williams 19 points and 12 rebounds while Larry Nance added 18 points 13 rebounds Mark Price 16 points 13 assists and Gerald Wilkins 16. Dominique Wilkins led Atlanta with 21 points all in the first three quarters.
Doc Rivers suffers left knee injury on December 16 ending his season. The Knicks acquire point guard Derek Harper from the Mavericks in exchange for forward Tony Campbell as Hubert Davis Charles Smith and Anthony Mason miss significant time with injuries.
Grade 8B notes that acquiring Anfernee Hardaway from Golden State makes the Magic a premier guard pair with Shaquille O Neal but they still need a strong rebounder and hard man to complement him. Anthony Avent from Milwaukee was a solid price but struggles against East power forwards Oakley Grant and Coleman.
Just before the season, Donald Sterling vetoed a proposed deal sending Danny Manning to the Heat for Glen Rice and Willie Burton. The Heat have since failed to complete another trade, leaving them one strong scorer short of a solid squad.
Derrick Cole refused a $65 million contract leaving the Nets with a fragile outlook. Management debates whether to keep their star, trade him before the February 24 deadline, or risk offering more money. The team's direction remains uncertain until a resolution is reached.
The team rode a seven game winning run from January 16 to 30 to position itself for a playoff push. A prior seven game home losing stretch from December 15 to January 14 exposed weaknesses in the lineup and effort.
Last Wednesday the venue sold out for the fourth time this season as the home team defeated Orlando by 19 points. Local fans have often waited to see proof of real strength before turning out. The crowd turnout reflected skepticism about the team’s consistency.
On November 6 at Chicago Stadium the Bulls fell 95 to 71 to the Miami Heat as Michael Jordan sat in the stands. His absence has helped the team adjust and move past overreliance on him in the prior season.
Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning were hurt in late December and the Hornets have played below .500 since. Johnson’s back injury may be worse than disclosed and some reports suggest he could miss the rest of the season. Mourning is expected back from a sprained ankle and bruised calf, but Charlotte needs Johnson to return.
Off season coaching switch cited as a mistake. Lenny Wilkens left after failing to beat Michael Jordan, Jordan quit months later. Had Jordan retired earlier Wilkens might have stayed and the Cavs would not be 22-22. Free agent Craig Ehle also left for the Atlanta Hawks, worsening the setback.
The preseason move sending Detlaf Schrempf to Seattle for Der rick McKey is criticized as a huge error. Indiana anticipated losing Schrempf as a free agent at season end and faced an expensive miscalculation.
The Rockets opened with 22 wins in 23 games from November 5 to December 21, but have slipped to 10-10. Players grumble as a tough run of eight straight games from February 15 to March 1, six at home, tests the team’s confidence and may determine the rest of the season.
On December 26 the Spurs defeated the Celtics to begin a five game run that was followed by streaks of six and five. San Antonio improved to 16-3 in that span and moved within two games of division leader Houston.
The team loses at home to Phoenix by 16 points on January 5 ending a 10 game home winning streak. It then drops four of the next five games, signaling a rough stretch.
On December 11 in Houston the Seattle Sonics, 16-1, lost to the Rockets who were 18-1. The defeat cooled the spotlight on Seattle as they recovered to win 10 of their next 11 games.
From November 6 to November 26 the Bucks dropped 10 straight as a poor start set the pattern for the 1992-93 season. Their early momentum faded and losses persisted, defining a season of futility.
In Indianapolis, Rik Smits scored 24 and Reggie Miller 21 as the Indiana Pacers defeated Charlotte 111 to 102. The win extended Indiana's winning streak to five, while Charlotte dropped a season-high sixth in a row.
3 Point goals: Charlotte 4 of 15 with E Johnson 3 of 7, Curry 1 of 3, Bogues 0 of 1, Wingate 0 of 1, Hawkins 0 of 3. Indiana 3 of 5 led by Miller 3 of 4 and Scott 0 of 1. Rebounds:
