This is the big one. The Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards. Scroll all the way down the NBA standings, and you should be able to find these teams representing some of the very worst either conference has to offer.

BOSTON — For the first time in two years, when Xavier Tillman took the TD Garden parquet for his pregame shooting, he wasn’t donning Celtics green. Instead, the 26-year-old forward wore Hornets blue, making his return to Boston for the first time since he was unexpectedly traded to the Charlotte Hornets last month. And, from […]
The Utah Jazz fell short against the Sixers, 106-102. For the most part, it was a duel between Keyonte George and Tyrese Maxey. George scored 30 points on 10/24 shooting from the field (41.7%) and 5/11 (45.5%) from three. It was very clear that Keyonte George was the equal of Tyrese Maxey, if not better. […]
For the second time this week, the Milwaukee Bucks blew a 16-point first-half lead and ended up getting blown out, this time to the Atlanta Hawks at Fiserv Forum, dealing a serious blow to their play-in hopes.

The Atlanta Hawks were in Milwaukee on Wednesday night to face the Bucks.

Much like Monday night’s game, tonight will be another test for the Houston Rockets as they take on a Golden State Warriors team that is decimated by injuries.

It certainly seemed like Utah was going to run away with it in Philadelphia, leading for most of the fourth quarter before the home Sixers slipped ahead to win 106-102. Utah maintains its tank race momentum (phew), and Philly advances without the services of Joel Embiid, but what’s new? Well… Mo Bamba – A It […]
The Charlotte Hornets continued their demolition of the entire NBA with a thorough end to end beatdown of the Boston Celtics, 118-89. The Summary LaMelo Ball banged two triples and scored eight quick points to give the Hornets an early lead. Kon Knueppel broke out of his mini-slump and joined the party. Coby White chipped […] The post Recap/Analysis: Hornets demolish Celtics for tenth straight road win first appeared on At The Hive .
The New York Knicks (40*-23) hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder (44-19) at Madison Square Garden tonight in a tight, uneven game played with tired legs. Both teams were on the second night of back-to-backs, and the fatigue showed at the end of this workout. The Thunder controlled the first half behind Chet Holmgren’s hot shooting, […]
After getting benched in the Lakers’ playoff series last year, most assumed Jaxson Hayes’ playing days in LA were done. Not only did Hayes return on a one-year deal, but he also prepared in the summer to be a better version of himself. He put on 20 pounds to give himself some more strength, and […]

Well, they may lose as bad as tanking teams, but at least they can still beat tanking teams. The Sixers escaped with a 106-102 win over the Utah Jazz Wednesday night. They are now 34-28, still a game up on the Orlando Magic for the sixth seed but tied in the loss column. Despite some […]
The Boston Celtics hosted the Charlotte Hornets for their first meeting of the season on Wednesday night at TD Garden. Boston was flat-footed to start the game, and they struggled all night to keep pace with the young Hornets. It was a tough shooting night for the home team throughout; they hit just 10 three-pointers […]
Long Island had a very tall task before them Wednesday morning in Greensboro, as they had to match up with the G League’s best team, the Swarm, which is having as successful season as their parent, the Charlotte Hornets. Long Island entered this game winning three of their last five games, whereas Greensboro had won […]
A lot could be said about the game the other day between the Utah Jazz and the Denver Nuggets: Jokic’s antics, the officiating, or the absolute battle we saw between Jamal Murray and Keyonte George. Something else entirely caught my eye, though. When I saw it at first I was beyond perplexed, but as I […]

The Spurs are back to their winning ways after a stumble in New York. They demolished the shorthanded 76ers in a 40-point blowout that saw eight players finish with 10 points or more. Among those 8 players, Victor Wembanyama was the closest to not reaching double digits. The big man only took five shots in […]
