While March Madness continues on, the NBA had its share of the action on Sunday, too. Spurs-Rockets was the best head-to-head matchup, while the Miami Heat easily nabbed their 26th straight win as they defeated the Charlotte Bobcats.

Kemba Walker had 20 points and Gerald Henderson had 18 for the Bobcats, but it was not nearly enough to overcome the Heat onslaught.
