Some nuggets of information from Jerry Zgoda:
-The 30-day moratorium on re-signing Brian Cardinal — traded away to New York last month and quickly waived by the Knicks — ends Saturday, which means there’s a good chance he could be re-signed by Monday’s home game against Toronto for his veteran locker-room presence these final weeks of the season.
Someone explain to me how exactly this helps us more than signing a D-leaguer would, whom we could have had for the past 3 weeks…
-Rambis and basketball boss David Kahn will fly to New Orleans on today’s off travel day back from Los Angeles and watch Kentucky and its four probable first-round picks — including expected No. 1 overall choice John Wall — play Wake Forest. After practice Sunday, they hope to watch Ohio State’s Evan Turner and Georgia Tech’s Derrick Favors play each other in Milwaukee.
I think he meant Timberwolves No. 1 overall choice John Wall 
-Center Darko Milicic, acquired for Cardinal, had his first double-double (16 points, 12 rebounds) as a Timberwolf but went to the locker room late in the game because of back spasms. He also had three blocked shots.
I can’t wait until Darko rips a wolves jersey in half so I can save it as my desktop picture.
-Guard Sasha Pavlovic was inactive for a third consecutive game Friday because of a strained calf.
Translation: He sucks and will most likely never play in the NBA again.
Lebron Scores His 15,000th point
From AP via ESPN:
James scored 13 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter, giving him 15,026 in his career, and had 11 rebounds. He scored seven in a row late in the game as Cleveland increased its lead to 10, sending the Bulls to their 10th straight loss.
James reached the milestone at 25 years, 79 days, and he did it in his 540th game. Bryant was 27 years, 136 days and playing his 657th game, according to STATS LLC, when he did it for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Madness Marches On
The day’s recap from Seth Davis/SI.com:
Opening salvo: Today was a little bit more of a standard day. It was a good day, there were a lot of interesting games, but I would say no classics, no buzzer-beaters. We knew today was definitely going to feel like a letdown compared to yesterday. But there were still some interesting games.
The Cornell-Temple game stands out as the most significant result of the day, and I think the Michigan State-New Mexico game was probably the best game.
Evan Tuner has an ugly game but they get the win
Turner was held to nine points on 2-of-13 shooting from the field. He did have 10 rebounds, and William Buford added 16 points for the Buckeyes. Ohio State advanced to play Sunday against No. 10 seed Georgia Tech, which beat seventh-seeded Oklahoma State 64-59 on Friday.
Turner did leave the court with something he didn’t have before: a win in the NCAA tournament.
Afterward, Matta praised Turner for his composure and commitment to playing defense despite the rough shooting night. And as the Buckeyes move on, Turner’s coach is expecting more offense.”He’ll be back,” Matta said.
The Spurs scored 147 points against the Warriors
Yes you read that right, The San Antonio Spurs scored 147 points in an actual game.
From Tim Price/NBA.com:
“They probably shot over 80 percent,” Warriors forward Corey Maggette said before looking at a final stat sheet that showed San Antonio had hit 62-of-96 from the floor.
It only seemed like the Spurs (41-26) were that hot because they were clipping along at more than 70 percent through three quarters. It was the most points the Spurs have scored in 19 seasons.
“Everybody got to play and got to score, and that’s always a good thing,” Gregg Popovich said, noting that each of the Spurs’ 12 players made a basket.
