Around the NBA: 2/16/2012

The NBA had just three games on the schedule on Thursday night. Now for the top performers of the night. In third was the play of Kris Humphries who scored 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in a lost to the Pacers. In second was the play of Danny Granger who scored 32 points and grabbed 5 rebounds in a win over the Nets. And in first was the play of Carlos Boozer who scored 23 points, grabbed 15 rebounds, and dished out 5 assists in a win over the Celtics. Boozer played very well considering that the Bulls were without Derrick Rose who was out with back spasms. Tonight the Bulls proved that they can still win without their star point guard.

Now for the scores from around the league…
