The Los Angeles Lakers’ In-Season Tournament matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers — a relatively stress-free 107-96 win — presented them with an opportune platform to rebound from a sluggish home loss to the Sacramento Kings. LeBron James made sure his team capitalized at the Moda Center. “No nonsense approach from start to finish,” Darvin […]

Head coach Tyronn Lue […]

Steve Kerr certainly doesn’t believe the Golden State Warriors defended well enough to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night.

Andrew Wiggins needed 13 shots to score 12 points in  Thursday night’s 128-109 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, and one of his highest-rebounding totals of 2023-24 was nearly matched by his team-high five turnovers.

Digging beyond the surface-level stats it’s easy to understand how Dyson Daniels won the trust of New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Green.

Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter of all time.

Excluding a game at New York in […]
