Before tonight, the Knicks (48*-26) had won seven consecutive games. Admittedly, some of those foes were lightweight competition. The Hornets (39-34) had won four straight and compiled a 22-6 record since late January. Charlotte had the fourth-best offensive rating, New York had the third. We were salivating for a shootout at the Spectrum Center. Truth […]

Victor Wembanyama is the league’s top shot-blocker, and it’s not close between him and the next guys, Jay Huff (1.9) and Chet Holmgren (1.9). Wembanyama possesses physical gifts that the gods of Olympus would envy, and he is far from his final form. Yet he has a new standard to chase: Wilt Chamberlain in his […]

Praying for mass extinction as Purdue, Iowa, Nebraska, and Illinois all hit the hardwood tonight. Title subheader says it all, no? Anyway, happy Opening Day to you all.

On Thursday, the Washington Wizards announced that their City Edition jerseys are a return to their pink cherry blossom-themed jerseys. These jerseys were first released in the 2022-23 NBA season.

The NCAA Tournament rarely tanks a prospect’s draft stock.
