Monday had seven games on the menu. A center would make his return, three games were close, and one game had a complete blowout. Let’s check out the recap!
Golden State Warriors 114, Toronto Raptors 102
Andrew Bogut returned in this game after not playing for nearly three months. The Warriors then used a 10-0 run in the fourth quarter to put Toronto away. David Lee led Golden State with 21 points, 12 boards, and seven assists. The returning Bogut went for 12 points and eight boards in 24 minutes. They would lose Stephen Curry to yet another ankle injury, however.

Sacramento Kings 96, Washington Wizards 94
Washington’s Martell Webster converted a difficult bank shot with 7.9 seconds left to tie the game at 94. Then a poised Isaiah Thomas got into the lane and made a go-ahead floater with one second left. With the Wizards having no timeouts, the Kings easily picked the pass off from the backcourt. Thomas would end up with 22 points to lead the Kings while the Wiz wasted a great performance from Emeka Okafor, who had 23 points and 15 boards.
