Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden faced off for the first time this season against his former team the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday, and it didn’t go well.

DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks’ trade deadline acquisitions have been positive for the most part.

The Indiana Pacers had some of their recent momentum halted on Sunday night when they lost a 150-145 shootout to the Los Angeles Lakers. While there were certainly quite a lot of points scored in this one, if you ask Rick Carlisle, it’s clear that the Lakers got a little extra help from the referees […]

Pressure is mounting on the Golden State Warriors. Despite having the biggest payroll in the NBA, the Warriors are dangerously close to missing out on the play-in tournament, with their 114-110 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves not helping matters in the slightest. The Warriors now have a mere one game lead for the 10th spot […]

First-round draft picks, especially lottery picks, carry larger expectations compared to second-round picks and undrafted players.

However, there’s no doubt that some first-round […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been like a dam all season long with cracks starting to show, moments away from bursting.

Despite this, the Cavs have done their damnedest all season long to hold things together with […]

The golden opportunities for Tyronn Lue and the LA Clippers to make up ground in the standings while building a rhythm have come and gone.

The Lakers have won three games in a row — two offensive explosions (vs. the Atlanta Hawks and […]

The San Antonio Spurs just lost by 25 points to the same Phoenix Suns team they’ll play again Monday. They’ll potentially be without their best player in trying to knock off a squad that’s going for its fourth straight win and eighth in the last eleven games. Still, the Spurs, whose legendary head coach all […]

The last few games have not been doing Coach Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors any good. They have only won four out of their last 10 matchups which means that the Houston Rockets, who won nine out of their last 10, can bump them out of the play-in race. This squad really needed […]

The Milwaukee Bucks blew out the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, and that’s largely because of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. shutting down Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the game. Sure enough, the Bucks prepared hard to counter the threat that SGA brings. They know he’s the focal point of the Thunder offense, and based on Antetokounmpo’s statement […]

After a pair of drama-filled meetings out in the Bay Area earlier this season, the Minnesota Timberwolves had one goal in mind on Sunday night.

Every fan of basketball grimaced after seeing how Brandon Ingram collapsed in a fall during a road game against the Orlando Magic.

It was an exciting night for the Miami Heat Sunday as they beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in dominant fashion, 121-84, after suffering a blowout loss of their own last Friday to the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Golden State Warriors were in a great position heading into the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but ended up losing 114-110 in brutal fashion, and Stephen Curry got real about his minutes in the game as many believe he was left on the bench too long by Warriors head coach […]

On Saturday afternoon, Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks picked up a big win against their crosstown rivals, the Brooklyn Nets, from Madison Square Garden in Manhattan.

The New York Knicks might have made the best signing in free agency for the second season in a row, as after coming away with Jalen Brunson in 2022, the signing of Donte DiVincenzo has been a home run for the team this season. DiVincenzo is just 18 points shy of tying the Knicks’ single-season […]

On Saturday evening, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics rolled into Chicago and demolished the Bulls despite playing without starters Jaylen Brown and Jrue Holiday, extending their Herculean lead over the rest of the Eastern Conference playoff picture in the process.

Not only did the Philadelphia 76ers defeat the Los Angeles Clippers on the road but they didn’t even allow one of the NBA’s best offensive squads to lead at any point in the game. It was a brilliant win for the Sixers, who were in jeopardy of going winless in their four-game road trip. The […]

The Detroit Pistons were forced to take on the New Orleans Pelicans in a 114-101 beatdown without franchise point guard Cade Cunningham.

There was little the San Antonio Spurs could do against the Phoenix Suns in a 131-106 loss Saturday night. Just ask their head coach. “They [the Spurs] did the best they could. I thought we had a little more contact and physicality in the second half,” head coach Gregg Popovich said. “But you’re not going […]
