An advice column for people who live with people who live for sports
What happened on Thursday, December 4, 2014?
Dallas dominates Chicago: The Dallas Cowboys beat the Chicago Bears far worse than the 41-28 final score makes you think. The Bears were really never in the game and the Cowboys always were. Although, really, it’s almost more accurate to say that DeMarco Murray beat the Chicago Bears. Murray touched the ball on slightly over 2/3 of the Cowboys offensive plays last night. That’s a very unusual proportion, even for the best players out there. Line: The Cowboys handled the Bears easily but I worry that they’re going to wear out DeMarco Murray before the playoffs.
Knicks wilt at the end: The New York Knicks looked like they were going to pull off an unlikely second victory of the year over the high powered Cleveland Cavaliers but then the fourth quarter started. In the fourth quarter of the game, the Cavaliers scored 22 points while holding the Knicks to only 14. That was enough for them to edge the Knicks by three points in the final score. Point guard Kyrie Irving was the hero of the night for the Cavs — he scored 37 points. Line: You didn’t think the Knicks were actually going to win that game, did you?
Golden State adds to their winning streak: The Golden State Warriors beat the New Orleans Pelicans 112-85 last night to bring their winning streak up to 11 games in a row. That’s an impressive run for their team! Anthony Davis, the phenomenal center for the Pelicans, scored 30 points and got 15 rebounds in the game but it wasn’t enough to even keep the game close. Line: Golden State has won 11 games in a row? That’s crazy! I had no idea!
