The SLC Dunk Staff and I were talking in our group chat recently and the topic of “The Process” came up. We were originally bashing the NBC/Peacock broadcast for airing a commercial that referred to the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers as “two teams that never rebuild, they just reload.” Apart from the blatant […]
Recap of the game.
As of tonight, the Toronto Raptors have officially lost their twelfth consecutive game to the New York Knicks, continuing a disheartening pattern begun in 2023. Brandon Ingram’s 31 wasn’t enough to outscore the top dogs of the Atlantic Division, as the Knicks hammered Toronto for a 111-95 loss. It’s fitting for New York to have […]
San Antonio closed out an 8-1 Rodeo Road Trip with a 131-91 whipping of Philadelphia that saw eight Spurs get to double-digits scoring. Despite NBC’s pregame focus on the Sixers’ excellent starting guards, it was the Spurs’ perimeter players that stood tallest in a stunning 81-39 explosion across the second and third quarters that led […]
Have you ever watched a cartoon scuffle evolve into a swirling cloud of dust, stars, limbs, and onomatepea? With the participants jostling, wrestling, and tackling at such a high speed, the animators are physically incapable (or occupationally unwilling) of sketching at a quick enough rate to keep pace with the escalating kerfuffle. Dust and dirt […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Detroit Pistons 113-109. Let’s go over today’s winners and losers. WINNER – Jaylon Tyson Earlier this week, Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson was asked what the ideal role for Jaylon Tyson is. His response? Defend, rebound, and make open shots. I’d say Tyson checked all of the above tonight. Tyson […]
Another smashing success for the Sixers on national television. Philadelphia was trounced 131-91 by the San Antonio Spurs Tuesday night. They are 33-28, just a half game up and tied in the loss column with the Orlando Magic for the sixth seed. Tyrese Maxey, playing 25 minutes before the white flag was raised, put up […]
It may not have looked like much, but it was honest work. Coming in as 13.5-point favorites over a tanking Memphis Grizzlies team, Tuesday night shaped up to be one of those matchups for a Minnesota Timberwolves team and fanbase that have been tortured by a lack of effort and defensive intensity against teams trying […]
The Brooklyn Nets have reached the part of the season where their games fade before the final buzzer. You sit through it. You register the score. And then, after a few days, it’s gone. By this summer, you probably won’t even remember you watched it. There’s no reason for it to linger in your memory. […]
Like numbers? Check these out. Tonight the Knicks (40*-22) outshot the Raptors (35-26) 56% to 45%, piled up 32 assists on 46 baskets, and dominated the glass 44–28. This marked their third consecutive game with all five starters scoring in double figures, and the 11th time in their last 19 games they’ve held an opponent […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Detroit Pistons 113-109 in a revenge match from last week. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. James Harden 18 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds, 5 turnovers The Cavs don’t win this game without James Harden. That’s not because he carried them by any means, but […]
The Dallas Mavericks were beaten by the Charlotte Hornets, 117-90 in a game that fell well short of competitive. Dallas, still short-handed and without Cooper Flagg, was dispatched with ease by the NBA’s hottest team. With the win, the Hornetts are back to .500 and looking towards the postseason for the first time in a […]
The Washington Wizards lost to the Orlando Magic, 126-109 on Tuesday night on the road. The first half of this game was a rather even affair with Washington own 57-54. Neither team shot particularly well from three with the Magic shooting 1-of-13 from the line. There was a chance that the Wizards could win if […]
As if things weren’t going poorly enough, the Sixers will play the second half vs. the Spurs without VJ Edgecombe. The rookie guard injured his back after being fouled by Carter Bryant in the closing seconds of the first half. Edgecombe was able to get up and walk under his own power. He took the […]
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers were able to enact revenge for their loss to the Detroit Pistons on Friday. It once again wasn’t the prettiest game, but having James Harden down the stretch ensured that the Cavs weren’t going to cough this one up as they cruised to a 113-109 victory. Not a lot went […]
The Dallas Mavericks (21-40) had nothing for the Charlotte Hornets (31-31) on Tuesday at the Spectrum Center, leaving town with a big 117-90 “L” bulging out of their pocket. The Hornets have now won 15 of their last 18 games, while the Mavericks (sigh) have lost 14 of their last 16. Brandon Miller scored 13 […]

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers had many chances to defeat the Detroit Pistons last Friday, even though they were without their two star guards, James Harden (thumb) and Donovan Mitchell (groin). The Cavs failed to close the game out at the free-throw line, and they couldn’t hold on to a late lead in regulation. Despite the […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have seen one too many seasons come off the rails due to injuries. They’re managing the 82-game schedule to the best of their ability, putting health in the postseason above everything else. That’s why Donovan Mitchell isn’t being rushed back to return from a groin injury. “If it were a playoff game […]
Portland Trail Blazers All-Star forward Deni Avdija was upgraded to questionable to play against the Memphis Grizzlies on the road Wednesday as he continues to deal with lower back injury management, the organization announced. Avdija has missed Portland’s last four games after he reaggravated his back injury early in the first quarter against the Phoenix […]
