NBA Nightly Awards

Each day we are going to recap the previous nights games with nightly awards going to the Baller of the Night, the Dud of the Night, and the Game of the Night. Feel free to react in our comments section.

NBA Baller of the Night: Zach Randolph, PF, MEM

Randolph dropped 22 points, grabbed 17 rebounds leading the Grizzlies to a victory over the Lakers on what should have been Kobe Bryant's night. Randolph has been impressive this season helping the Grizzlies become one of the surprising teams in the league this season.

Honorable Mention: Kobe Bryant, SG, LAL, drops 44 points, setting Lakers all-time scoring mark.

NBA Dud of the Night: Antwan Jamison, SF, WAS

Jamison shot 2-17 for 8 points and 8 rebounds in 40 minutes last night in a loss to the Celtics. Jamison needs to play better with Gilbert Arenas suspended for the season and the Wizards struggling, especially if he hopes to get traded at the deadline.

Game of the Night: Grizzlies defeat Lakers 95-93

On a night when Kobe Bryant became the Lakers all-time scorer Zach Randolph and Rudy Gay stole the show. Gay hit a 3 pointer to essentially win the game with 29.5 seconds left.
