His pass made its way to teammate Jonathan Kuminga who threw down a thunderous slam dunk. […]

Winning the coveted NBA championship is arguably the biggest prize in the league. It ultimately cements legacies for players to claim as one of the best in the world. But while winning an NBA championship can alter legacies like no other, not every player gets to win one in their careers, even the best ones. […]

While Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr called it a “disgusting” performance against the Memphis Grizzlies Friday, it still ended in a 123-118 win that brings them to 2-0 in NBA Cup group play. As Warriors star Draymond Green got ejected in the game, it was a great outing for Moses Moody, who had […]

Frustration boiled over in the first half of Oklahoma City Thunder’s 99-83 NBA Cup win against the Phoenix Suns. All-Star Devin Booker was scoreless (0-for-6) when he shoved Thunder guard Lu Dort to the ground in the first half, which didn’t come as a surprise for All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander due to his backcourt mate’s tenacious […]

The Brooklyn Nets show a lot of fight for a team that’s supposed to be tanking. Trailing the New York Knicks by 21 points late in the third quarter on Friday at Madison Square Garden, Jordi Fernandez’ squad refused to roll over. Brooklyn fought back to take a one-point lead on a Dennis Schroder three […]

The Golden State Warriors are on a great run to start the NBA season, but that doesn’t mean head coach Steve Kerr isn’t going to get after his players, even two-time league MVP Stephen Curry and former Defensive Player of the Year Draymond Green. Although generally known to be a relatively laid back and affable […]

After the Miami Heat lost to the Detroit Pistons heartbreakingly, they came back and had a strong 124-111 win against the Indiana Pacers, also getting their first victory in the NBA Cup. As Heat star Jimmy Butler missed his third straight game, it was center Bam Adebayo who put up an incredible game which garnered […]

The Orlando Magic have emerged as an unexpected name in the conversation surrounding Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler, with betting odds from Bovada placing them at sixth (+1600) among potential destinations.

On Friday night, Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden made NBA history when he hit his third three-pointer of the game against his former team, the Houston Rockets.

The Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Phoenix Suns 99-83 in their first NBA Cup matchup. Before facing the Suns, Thunder forward Jalen Williams was excited for Friday’s game at the Paycom Center and didn’t disappoint in nearly finishing with a double-double (14 points, eight rebounds) to go with a pair of blocks and steals. After […]

It’s rare to see Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr apologize to the team’s fanbase for a “disgusting” basketball display, but that’s precisely what happened following a game where Draymond Green was ejected. In the Warriors’ 123-118 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, Green picked up two technical fouls in 33 seconds. But his questionable […]

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle ripped his team after losing to the Miami Heat on Friday night. Indiana has gotten off to a poor start in the regular season and the NBA In-Season Tournament.

The Golden State Warriors continued to keep the good times rolling on Friday night, picking up a 123-118 win that was much more comfortable than the final score suggests.

The Sacramento Kings came up on the short end of an overtime classic against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night. After a frantic Kings comeback in the fourth quarter, Anthony Edwards steadied the Timberwolves in overtime and led them to a 130-126 win. This is a difficult loss for the Kings to take, but it […]

Madison Square Garden is known for its bright lights, raucous fans and celebrity row. Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas has played some of his best basketball amidst those elements. Friday’s Knicks-Nets matchup was the latest example. Thomas scored a game-high 43 points on 16-of-22 shooting from the field and 7-of-10 from three during a 124-122 […]

Lakers head coach JJ Redick took a moment to credit an unsung hero on the roster after the win over the Spurs. While LeBron James will get most of the headlines for his historic performance, the Lakers got a lot of help off the bench in their first In-Season Tournament game. With this in mind, […]

After starting the Chicago Bulls NBA Cup Group Play game against the undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers, Josh Giddey’s play time was far less robust than fans are used to, taking the field for just 15 minutes in a near-20-point loss.

Dyson Daniels continues to be the league’s most annoying defensive pest to deal with on the perimeter. Daniels, the main piece the Hawks received in the Dejounte Murray trade, has been everything the team wanted and more, especially on the defensive end of the floor. In the Hawks’ 129-117 NBA Cup win over the Washington […]

ATLANTA – The Atlanta Hawks were able to improve to 2-0 in the group stage play for the NBA Cup on Friday night, defeating the Washington Wizards 129-117. As the case has been for the past few games, Dyson Daniels has been playing some of the best basketball in the league on defense, and he […]

On Friday night, the New York Knicks were in control for much of their NBA Cup contest against the Brooklyn Nets. But the Knicks of all teams would know that there is no such thing as a safe lead in today’s NBA. The Nets managed to overcome a 21-point deficit to take a one-point lead […]

Miles Bridges is listed as questionable for Saturday’s matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, which comes as a surprise after suffering a bone bruise in his right knee.

The Philadelphia 76ers (2-10) played the Orlando Magic (8-6) in their next NBA Cup game, returning Joel Embiid and Paul George to the starting lineup. The Sixers led by as much as 13 but went on to lose 98-86 becoming the second team in the Eastern Conference to notch double-digit losses. As Tyrese Maxey made […]

The Atlanta Hawks have had to tinker with a few lineups due to injuries, which has caused for players to step up in ways that probably didn’t expect early in the season. One of those players is Dyson Daniels, who has been one of the best defenders in the league by far this season but […]

Even in his 22nd season in the NBA, LeBron James continues to raise the bar.

When San Antonio Spurs’ point guard Chris Paul is finished with his NBA career, he will for sure be a Hall of Fame inductee. In the meantime though, Chris Paul is still adding to his resume as he just reached an important career assist record. Chris Paul became only the third player in NBA history […]

The Brooklyn Nets were dealt another blow to their depleted frontcourt on Friday. Starting center Nic Claxton received an epidural injection due to a lower back strain and will be reevaluated in one week, the team announced. The timetable means Claxton will miss at least the Nets’ next four games. “I know it’s been an […]

Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter of all-time and will go down as one of the top-15 players in NBA history. He is also apparently the current owner of the best celebration in the game, according to his peers. Various players, including a few of Curry’s Warriors teammates, consider the “night, night” celebration to be […]

The Atlanta Hawks are starting to get healthy as the beginning of the season progresses, and that bodes well for Trae Young, who has been asked to do a lot due to the injuries.

The Houston Rockets have been one of the pleasant surprises of the NBA season this year, as Ime Udoka and company are off to an 8-4 start on the season. They are having a lot of success despite a very young team led by Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green. Oftentimes, a young team that its […]

Derrick White has been a great ambassador to the city of Boston and the Boston Celtics franchise.

“Fixing” the NBA All-Star Game under the current format, and during this era, is not possible. Players are plainly not interested in putting forth a worthwhile defensive effort in the annual February exhibition game, forcing fans to either temporarily adjust their viewing expectations or just refuse to watch. The league is perfectly aware of the […]
