We’re nearing the end of the NBA’s regular season. Sometimes it has felt like fans of the Brooklyn Nets have lived nine lives. But as we hurdle toward the home stretch, we got one game that’s certainly starting to feel like a rivalry matchup. Giannis Antetokounmpo and the defending champs, the Milwaukee Bucks, came to […]

San Francisco, CA – Most players shy away from guarding the best offensive weapons on opposing teams. Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II is not one of those players. He’s actually the opposite. He loves it. Wednesday, Payton II had the opportunity of defending both Chris Paul and Devin Booker and he enjoyed every […]

San Francisco, CA – The best player on the Golden State Warriors in March was Jordan Poole. He led the team in scoring and made the most three-pointers in the NBA for the month. The evolution of Poole has been an exciting journey full of big plays and highlights. This could be the beginning of […]

SAN FRANCISCO — The Golden State Warriors have struggled immensely while ending the 2021-22 NBA season, but one thing that has been a positive all season long is the play of Jordan Poole. The 22-year-old guard is averaging career highs in points, rebounds, and assists this season. Outside of Stephen Curry, he has been the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers — fighting to stay in the Play-In game zone — received crucial updates to LeBron James and Anthony Davis, ahead of a key matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans, who are 1.5 games ahead of Los Angeles for the No. 9 seed in the Western Conference.

CJ McCollum didn’t hide how much it meant it for he and his family to return to Moda Center for the first time wearing colors of the Portland Trail Blazers’ opponent. After the New Orleans Pelicans’ well-earned 117-107 win over his outwardly tanking former team, though, McCollum seemed just as relieved to be leaving Rip […]

Stephen Curry is the king of the Bay Area, but the heir to the throne could be Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole. Since Curry has been out of the lineup with a foot injury, Poole has been the Dubs’ best scoring option. The 22-year-old has put on a show in recent weeks, averaging 26.9 […]

The Charlotte Hornets flew into the Big Apple and beat the New Knicks in a fun-filled game, 125-114. Madison Square Garden always seems to bring the best out of its visitors, and Miles Bridges seems to be affected by that same blessing. In Bridges’ last game against the Knicks, he dropped 38 points. On Wednesday […]

Since Stephen Curry was placed on the Golden State Warriors’ injury list with a foot injury suffered two weeks ago, things have gone south for the Dubs. The Bay Area’s team are losers of six of their last seven games, and All-Star Andrew Wiggins hasn’t played up to his potential in the process. Wednesday morning […]

As the Philadelphia 76ers approach the final lap of the regular season, all eyes are on the playoff picture.

The LA Clippers took on the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night in what was a blowout out for the Sixers, 122-97.

LOS ANGELES – The LA Clippers welcomed Paul George back to the lineup in dramatic fashion on Tuesday night. George returned from a 43-game absence due to an elbow injury, helping the Clippers end a five-game losing streak.

LOS ANGELES – For the second time in about 10 months, Paul George the LA Clippers overcame a monster deficit at home to defeat Donovan Mitchell and the Utah Jazz. The first time happened in June 2021, and one would’ve hoped that the Jazz learned their lesson back then. But nope. Behind 34 points from […]

After being demolished by the Dallas Mavericks from the opening tip on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers, at long last, moved below the San Antonio Spurs into the No. 11 seed in the Western Conference — outside the Play-In tournament zone. “We just got our butt whupped,” Stanley Johnson said after the Lakers gave up […]

Showdown at the Barclay Corral. The team that knocked the Brooklyn Nets out of the 2021 NBA playoffs, and then went on to win the championship are coming to town.

Nobody associated with the Los Angeles Lakers was in a good mood following the team’s non-competitive 128-110 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday.

You can watch the full exchange between Westbrook and Brad Turner […]

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Frank Vogel ripped his team’s effort following a wire-to-wire blowout loss to the Dallas Mavericks that was not nearly as competitive as the lopsided 128-110 final score even indicates. The Lakers, playing without their stars, LeBron James (ankle sprain) and Anthony Davis (foot sprain), were thoroughly dominated by  Luka Doncic, […]

Early into the Los Angeles Lakers’ matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, TNT’s Chris Haynes came on-air to provide updates on the status of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Kendrick Nunn.

The Los Angeles Lakers will be without LeBron James and Anthony Davis for their crucial road test against the Dallas Mavericks at the American Airlines Center on Tuesday.

The Charlotte Hornets fell to the Denver Nuggets on Monday, 113-109. They played a pretty solid game overall, recording 33 total assists and knocking down shots when they mattered most. Their two best young players in Miles Bridges and LaMelo Ball put up 27 and 22 points respectively. However, they gave up a lot of […]

The Golden State Warriors have lost five of their last six games, and the season is nearing its end.

On-brand with a frustrating 2021-22 season, the Los Angeles Lakers simultaneously offered, respectively, encouraging and discouraging updates about the health of Anthony Davis and LeBron James on Monday. During the first half of the Lakers’ debacle against the New Orleans Pelicans, LeBron rolled his ankle going after a rebound. He was able to gut out […]

PLAYA VISTA – The LA Clippers practiced for the third time in the last week, and Paul George is slowly inching towards a return to the lineup, per Tyronn Lue.

PLAYA VISTA – The off-court battle between the LA Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers took another step on Monday, two whole days after the teams played. On Saturday, it was Sixers GM Daryl Morey who commented on Joel Embiid and James Harden, but before Monday’s practice, it was Clippers coach Tyronn Lue who fired back. Ahead […]

Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant must be feeling pretty relieved to have Kyrie Irving back on a full-time basis. But whatever joy or giddiness he felt seemed to evaporate in the aftermath of Sunday’s explosion form Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball, who stole the show during Irving’s 2022 home debut to give the Hornets […]

Like Chris Rock at the Oscars, the Los Angeles Lakers were off to a good start — until they were unexpectedly slapped in the face. In the case of the Lakers, they were shaken by a startling comeback by the New Orleans Pelicans, in arguably the most important half of the Lakers’ season. The Lakers […]

The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Brooklyn Nets for their second straight win, 119-110. It was Kyrie Irving’s home debut in Brooklyn, but he shot the ball 27 percent from the field and finished with 16 points. He dropped 50 points against the Buzz City squad earlier this month, so LaMelo Ball, PJ Washington and co. […]

LeBron James says the left ankle he rolled during the Los Angeles Lakers deflating loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday feels “horrible.” Early in the second quarter at the Smoothie King Center — as the Lakers were rolling, in a game with heavy playoff implications that Russell Westbrook labeled a “must-win” — LeBron […]

After missing the season’s first 35 games at home, Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving finally made his season debut at Barclays Center in a 119-110 loss to LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets. But after the game, Kyrie opened up about how he wants the legacy of his stand (to remain unvaccinated from COVID-19) to […]

The Golden State Warriors had multiple players elevate their game to another level this season. Andrew Wiggins became an All-Star for the first time, and center Kevon Looney is having a career season.

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is one of the most influential players of all time. The way the NBA game is played today has changed simply because of Curry’s style.

The Golden State Warriors have suffered some massive blows this month. They lost MVP Stephen Curry indefinitely, and they found out James Wiseman wouldn’t join the team at all this season. However, there has been some good news. Draymond Green is back in action, while Andre Iguodala is traveling with the team, which means he […]

The Brooklyn Nets absolutely smacked the Miami Heat on Saturday night. The vaunted #HeatCulture everyone always talks about seems to be cooling off a bit.

Earlier Saturday, just a couple days removed from learning he is a full-time player once again, Kyrie Irving talked about his future with the Brooklyn Nets and how he wants to stay long-term and play alongside Kevin Durant.

LOS ANGELES – Tyronn Lue got his start as a head coach thanks to Doc Rivers, which is why the current LA Clippers coach always considers facing the former coach a special moment.

LOS ANGELES – Gas prices in Los Angeles are among the highest in the nation. If you’re running low on gas, you’ll have to fill up at a deep cost. Like most people in SoCal, the LA Clippers are running on ‘E,’ and head coach Tyronn Lue is hoping his team can regain that fuel, […]

LOS ANGELES – Everywhere the Sixers go to play, fans are becoming less intrigued with the idea of watching mid-game free throw contest James Harden and Joel Embiid.
