Heat-Clippers showdown highlights Wednesday’s NBA schedule

In the end, they did, winning, 89-87. But not before the following things happened.

Just how they drew it up, right? However it happened, the Bobcats are 4-3 on the season. This setup on Rufus on Fire, our Bobcats blog, is appropriate.

His absence would be a big blow for Boston, as he is the main reason the Celtics leads the NBA in assists per game. He is averaging 15.4 points and 13 assists per game so far this season.

Rondo has battled injuries in the past. He played in just 53 of 66 games or Boston last season.

Memphis fell behind by 10 points after one quarter, but used a dominant second to take control. The Grizzlies outscored the Thunder in that second quarter, 36-15, and would never let their lead get under six the rest of the way.

This would qualify as part of the five percent.

UPDATE: Never mind all that, Dwyane Wade will play against the Clippers Wednesday night.

Wade has been dealing with a number of nagging injuries this season. He missed Friday’s game in Atlanta with a cold, and also jammed his thumb on Sunday in Memphis.
