The San Antonio Spurs folded in Minnesota against the Timberwolves, going 2-2 on their nine-day road trip. The latter was on the second night of a back-to-back, but they still had the legs to down a surplus of jumpers, and San Antonio’s half-court defense was shredded, which was ultimately their undoing. The Spurs weren’t facing […]
In a battle of elite starpower, the teams conducted a scorched net exhibition before Minnesota pulled away at the start of the fourth quarter and finished off the Spurs off 125-112.

Things aren’t right with the Cleveland Cavaliers. That was on display once again as they dropped Sunday’s game 117-115 to an injured Boston Celtics team that was playing the second night of a back-to-back themselves. The Cavs weren’t able to get enough defensive rebounds, stops, or timely baskets when it mattered most. They weren’t the […]
The Utah Jazz had a rough outing against the Houston Rockets, losing 129-101. Let’s look at how the team did. Svi Mykhailiuk | B Mykhailiuk was solid in this one overall.

The New York Knicks had an emphatic win against their Atlantic Division opponents on Sunday night, as the Toronto Raptors, down two starters, got an uncomfortable first meeting against their NBA Cup opponents.
