We begin tonight with the best the NBA has to offer, wrapping up All-Star weekend in Los Angeles on Sunday night. The headlines heading in was Kobe Bryant and the West against LeBron James and the East...and that is how this one played out at Staples Center.
Los Angeles Clippers rookie Blake Griffin led an All-Star cast with a slam dunk that has to be seen to be believed, on NBA All-Star Saturday in Los Angeles.
We return with action from the association, and the Washington Wizards, looking to snap a dubious streak. The Wiz headed into play on Saturday against the Charlotte Bobcats...winless on the road, trying to avoid an 18th straight loss away from the US capital.
We start with NBA, in a supposed Chinese derby without a Chinese athlete taking to court. The Rockets won their fifth straight game, beating the Wizards in Houston.

Yao Ming's fans here in China didn't have to wait long to see their hero in action as he returns to the court following 15 months away from the game rehabbing an injured foot.Yao and his Houston Rockets.
It's been 15 months since Houston Rockets center Yao Ming last made an appearance on court in the NBA. Yao's recovery has been very slow and steady but he made it back onto court for 12 Minutes as the Rockets took on the Orlando Magic to open their pre-season.
