Detroit lost a close one to Milwaukee, 92-90, but Tayshaun Prince did not play. The reason given was “sore Si joint”. I have to admit, I had no clue what that was so I checked on Wikipedia and got the following definition:
[I]”The sacroiliac joint or SI joint is the joint in the bony pelvis between the sacrum and the ilium of the pelvis, which are joined together by strong ligaments.” [/I]([URL=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacroiliac_joint”]source[/URL])
Hope he gets better.

Patterson played only 7:23, but posted 6 points on 3 of 5 shooting. Patrick finished with 3 rebounds and 2 blocked shots.
The Magic came out on top in a score-fest against New York, 116-110. Daniel Orton did not play.
Jodie Meeks made a case for Player of the Game, even though he didn’t come away with that accolade. Meeks shot 5 of 8 from the field (including 4 of 7 from long range) and made both of his free-throw attempts for 16 points total. His 34:22 of play included 4 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal.
