I want to give a very quick shout-out to Jack Borman, who dealt with so many titles like this one and was a great sport through all of them. Everyone tag him with screenshots of this. @jrborman13 on Twitter It feels like blowout wins have been few and far between this year. I can’t actually […]
The Lakers (48-26) are back at it on Tuesday against the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers (47-28). L.A. looks to extend their winning streak to four in a row and split the season series with Cleveland. Start time and TV schedule Who: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers When: 7:30 p.m. PT, Mar 31 Where: Crypto.com Arena Watch: Spectrum Sportsnet […]
The first few minutes felt uneasy, like a storm quietly building. The San Antonio Spurs weren’t sharp out of the gate. The Chicago Bulls came in swinging, pushing the tempo and landing early blows that made the Frost Bank Center crowd shift in their seats. But then, as he so often does, Victor Wembanyama changed everything. It didn’t happen all at […]
The Dallas Mavericks kicked off the first game of a back-to-back Monday night, with their first opponent being the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Wolves got the better end of a 124-94 decision. Let’s get to the grades! Ryan Nembhard: C+ 8 PTS / 3 REB / 5 AST / 0 STL / 0 BLK – 20 […]
After a sloppy first quarter, the Lakers pulled away for a comfortable win against the Wizards without Luka Dončić on Monday, 120-101. With Luka serving his one-game suspension after receiving his 16th technical foul, Austin Reaves and LeBron James stepped up, along with the Lakers’ centers. LA also crushed the Wizards in transition, outscoring them […]
If you were hoping for an upset tonight by the Washington Wizards tonight, you would be disappointed. They lost to the Los Angeles Lakers earlier tonight, 120-101. Though Washington was able to head out of the first quarter with a 26-25 lead, they allowed the Lakers to outscored them 40-18 in the second quarter, which […]
In another matchup where the Utah Jazz had to do everything they could to lose, Donovan Mitchell and the Cavs pulled away late to win 122-113. It’s another example of the Utah Jazz having to manipulate games to make sure they lose. What’s incredible is that this is against Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, Evan Mobley, […]
The Dallas Mavericks continued their slide Monday night, getting blown out at home in a 124-94 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a game that got out of hand early and never recovered. Dallas showed brief flashes on offense, but Minnesota’s size, ball movement, and physicality quickly took over, controlling the flow throughout. Daniel Gafford […]
ATLANTA — The Celtics aren’t looking for moral victories after losses. That’s been their mindset all season, and that was their mindset on Monday night, after they fell to the Atlanta Hawks 112-102. But, from an onlooker’s perspective, Monday’s loss did come with one fairly significant moral victory: Luka Garza is becoming an important (and […]
I was tempted to write “This is a nationally televised game so it’s definitely a loss” and leave it at that. Most teams don’t have terrific records in nationally televised games. At least one of the teams is usually a contender, or at least was considered one when the season started. Other primetime games are […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Utah Jazz 122-113. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. Donovan Mitchell 34 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 steal One might take this stuff for granted. You shouldn’t. This was Mitchell’s 32nd game of the season, scoring more than 30+ points. The fact that he […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Utah Jazz behind a monster game from Evan Mobley. Let’s go over today’s winners and losers. WINNER – Evan Mobley It’s not every night that Evan Mobley looks like a bully. But tonight, the Utah Jazz had no one who could defend Mobley in the paint. Mobley commanded multiple bodies […]
Much to the delight of both organizations, the Cleveland Cavaliers did enough to pull out the 122-113 win over the tanking Utah Jazz to start their brief three-game road trip. This game was much closer than it should’ve been in the fourth quarter. The Jazz were without six rotation players and came into this game […]
The Dallas Mavericks got blown out at home Monday night, losing 124-94 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Dallas. Cooper Flagg had a game to forget, as he couldn’t buy a bucket for the entire game. But it wasn’t just him that struggled. Almost every Mavericks was off, besides Brandon Williams. The Mavericks were soundly outplayed […]

Coming off an embarrassing 17-point loss to the tanking Pacers the night prior, no team needed a jolt more than the Miami Heat. Not necessarily offensively, but defensively. The first two-and-a-half quarters were much of the same that we’ve seen the last three weeks. A team heavily reliant on zone that couldn’t generate many stops […] The post A Tyler Herro-led run fuels Heat win over 76ers appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

In a first half characterized by alternating runs — somtimes back-to-back — from Chicago (29-46) and San Antonio (57-18), it was the Spurs that pulled away behind a 35-19 second quarter — specifically the dominance of superstar Victor Wembanyama and stellar guards — Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper. The Spurs held a 31-18 rebound edge […]
The Atlanta Hawks tied the season series 2-2 in their final game against the Boston Celtics with a 112-102 Monday-night win at the State Farm Arena, continuing the team’s 13-game winning streak at home. The Celtics beat the Hawks 109-102 without Jaylen Brown three nights ago in Boston, but struggled to score against or stop […]
The Atlanta Hawks were in action on Monday evening to face the Boston Celtics. It was just two games ago that these two saw each other, with the Celtics walking away with the victory. The Hawks came into this one with a rest advantage as the Celtics just faced the Charlotte Hornets yesterday. Jayson Tatum […]
Well, at least it wasn’t just the third quarter that sunk them tonight. Philadelphia fell apart down the stretch, losing 119-109 to the Miami Heat Monday night. They are now41-34, still the seventh seed but have lost the season series tiebreaker to Miami. Tyrese Maxey had another solid second half to finish with 23 points […]
