The Sidney Crosby one-handed goal. In the Penguins' 3-1 win over the Sabres, Crosby scored his league-leading 41st goal, and it was a beauty. You really need to see the replay from behind the net to appreciate it, but once you see that, you see that Crosby scored the goal on a one-handed wrister.

The Brook Lopez winner. It was quite a night for the Lopez twins. The Nets picked up just their 14th win of the season, 98-96 over the Pistons, when Brook hit the winner at the buzzer.

The Robin Lopez-Serge Ibaka punches. While most NBA "fights" are just pushing and yelling, this one was different. With both players boxing out, Lopez got upset when Ibaka hit him in the back with an elbow. Things escalated quickly from there, with both players throwing punches. Luckily for both, the big punches just missed their targets.
