The Brooklyn Nets fought back from a 17-point deficit to pull within two in the last minute Sunday at Golden State.

However, in the game’s biggest moment, […]

After having a rough start to his sophomore year, Scottie Barnes is looking like the Toronto Raptors’ second option they’ve desperately needed.

The Brooklyn Nets’ 0-4 start to Kevin Durant’s multi-week absence drew comparisons to the team’s implosion at this time last season. With Kyrie Irving playing on a part-time status, the Nets went on an 11-game losing streak with Durant sidelined. Brooklyn avoided another extended winless stretch minus Durant when they snapped a 4-game losing streak […]

Before the Los Angeles Lakers took on the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, LeBron James got to watch the Dallas Cowboys-San Francisco 49ers game.

Well, well, well, Patrick Beverley has come out on top again against Damian Lillard.

The Denver Nuggets were without Michael Porter Jr for their last game against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to “personal reasons”.

After bowing to the Kevin Durant-less Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, Steve Kerr didn’t hold back as he gave the Golden State Warriors a rather harsh but valid assessment on their performance this 2022-23 season. The Warriors led by as much as 17 points against the Nets, but Stephen Curry and co. collapsed and allowed the […]

Stephen Curry couldn’t hide his disappointment after the Golden State Warriors fell to the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.

However, they collapsed big time and allowed […]

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers looked as though they were headed to another loss Sunday night against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets were not going to let the reigning NBA champions flex in front of them Sunday.

Pat Beverley is a grade-A instigator, and he isn’t afraid to talk trash with anyone. Sometimes, though, the Los Angeles Lakers PG can go a bit overboard with his trash talk and hurt his team.  Beverley has done a good job keeping that in check this year… except for tonight. During the Lakers’ game against […]

The Toronto Raptors are about to hit their most crucial part of the season as they embark on a seven-game road trip that will carry them almost all the way through to the NBA trade deadline. For the players on this team, Sunday’s game against the New York Knicks could have very well been their […]

It looks like Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball won’t be on the sidelines for long. When Ball suffered a scary-looking left ankle injury last Wednesday against the Houston Rockets, it seemed he would be facing a lengthy spell healing and rehabbing his foot. Fortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case. Ball’s injury isn’t as […]

At first glance, it appears as if Minnesota Timberwolves guard Austin Rivers was giving Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry the ultimate praise.

Jason Kidd is satisfied with how the Dallas Mavericks handled Luka Doncic’s foul trouble on Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers, though he emphasized the teams needs to further grow in such situations.

The Utah Jazz’s hot start to the 2022-23 season is long gone now, and while they still remain in contention for a spot in the Play-In Tournament, it’s clear that they are going to be sellers at the 2023 NBA trade deadline now rather than buyers. While many of their players are available, one player […]
