At the sports desk: favorite teams update

The Detroit Red Wings played solidly, beating Colorado 3-2 on the road. They now have the most points in the Western Conference.

The other night, Michigan State's men's hoops team survived a scare, beating the hustling Indiana Hoosiers 64-59. That earned the Spartans the outright Big 10 championship, which they deserved. Remember this--Raymar Morgan appears to be healthy again. MSU is 18-1 this season when he plays at least 20 minutes in a game. They may be ready for the NCAAs...

And the Dallas Mavericks came back after a horrible performance the other night and beat San Antonio, 107-102. It was a big win for them--clearly the team responded to all the criticism they'd taken. But can they be a dangerous playoff team? The jury is still out...

Overall, not a bad night.
