NBA Wednesday finished with some surprising tallies, perhaps the most surprising being the New York Knicks taking down the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Knicks and the two other worst teams in the league--record-wise--all won on January 28, leaving some teams struggling to get into playoff positions upset.
The Philadelphia 76ers (9-37) beat the Detroit Pistons (17-30) handily at home, 89-69. Detroit has struggled since losing Brandon Jennings to injury.
The Minnesota Timberwolves (8-37) beat the Boston Celtics (16-28) at home, 110-98. The Pistons and Celtics are both within reach of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
