Going to be an interesting barometer of a week for Howard's Celtics as they play at the Spurs tonight and at OKC on Thursday. Nice eatin' for those of us without much of a stake left in the season too.

Just a couple of old bunkmates getting together and dropping 83. That was a really fun game.

I'm good with whatever, but tbh I find myself enjoying (and therefore watching) Prime's coverage a lot more than ESPN's, and not just for Nowitzki-related reasons.

Bam Adebayo scores 83, passes Kobe Bryant for second most in a game in NBA history
If you told me someone was going to surpass 81 this season I wouldn't have any problem whatsoever believing you.
Bam wouldn't have been in my first 50 guesses of who would do it, though. Good on him!
