The Mavericks took care of business tonight in what was probably their most impressive win and offensive performance without Anthony Davis this season, beating the Golden State Warriors 123-115 in Dallas. The Mavericks won behind an absurd performance from Naji Marshall, who scored 3o points on 10-for-12 shooting, to go along with seven rebounds and […]
On a freezing cold Thursday night in Minneapolis, the Minnesota Timberwolves desperately needed a win. They had lost their previous three games and had fallen to seventh place in the Western Conference. They were unable to get it as they were taken down by the middling Chicago Bulls 120-115. Just like the previous game against […]
Portland Trail Blazers star forward Deni Avdija exited early against the Miami Heat after tweaking his back. He will not return, according to the team. Avdija recently dealt with a back injury earlier this month, missing three games before he returned Sunday against the Sacramento Kings. The injury occurred while defending Heat forward Andrew Wiggins […] The post Blazers star exits early vs. Heat with back injury appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Have yourself a night, Chicago, Josh Giddey is back! And he looks good. With a big win over the same team against whom Giddey suffered his hamstring strain, the Bulls are now riding a three-game win streak and are back to .500. The offense looked fluid with him on the floor, even in limited minutes. And I’m happy the rest of the cast was able to fit around him like water in a jar. Matas once again saw no minutes in the clutch. I know the five the Bulls closed with were strong, b...
After blowing a 16-point lead and completely falling apart in Houston likely left the Spurs with a bad taste in their mouths for the last 48 hours ago, they made sure it didn’t happen again against the Utah Jazz tonight, although they still made everyone sweat a little first. After the Spurs got ahead by […]
One look at the injury report, and it was clear that the Utah Jazz were welcoming Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio into the Delta Center for a 48-minute formality. We can do the whole song and dance, or you can kindly take your victory and go. No Lauri Markkanen, as he is still absent […]

Stephen Curry got whatever he wanted at American Airlines Center on Thursday, but the Dallas Mavericks (19-26) pulled ahead late in a back-and-forth game to beat the Golden State Warriors (25-21), 123-115. Curry nailed eight 3-pointers and led all scorers with 38 points in the loss, but Cormac Karl “Max” Christie and Naji Marshall keyed […]

The Rockets, the 76ers, and overtime. Three things that have been synonymous over the last couple of seasons. Unfortunately, the Rockets being on the road and losing has also become synonymous. Tonight, the Rockets got to experience all of the above. The Rockets got another brilliant performance from Kevin Durant who scored 36 points, 7 […]
The Illini are hoping the junior can take it to another level on both ends of the floor with their starting PG out. When I first heard about Kylan Boswell’s hand injury, my mind immediately shifted to Mihailo Petrovic. Which makes a bit of sense, considering he is the backup point guard to Boswell, and […]
The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Golden State Warriors Thursday night, winning 123-115. The win brings the Mavericks’ record to 19-26. The Warriors drop to 25-21. Steph Curry led all scorers with 38 points, while Naji Marshall led Dallas with 30. The game started about an hour earlier than most Mavericks home games, and the disruption […]
The Washington Wizards were unable to keep up with the Denver Nuggets on Thursday in a 107-97 loss at Capital One Arena, extending the team’s losing streak to eight games. The Wiz Kids started this one ice cold, missing on 14 of their first 18 shot attempts as the Nuggets built up a double-digit lead […]

Pretty much same ol’, same ol’. In a series of tweets and podcasts Thursday, pundits suggested that with two weeks to go before the February 5 (3:00 p.m. ET) trade deadline, the Brooklyn Nets are unlikely to make a big deal involving either Michael Porter Jr. or Nic Claxton. As for Cam Thomas, there doesn’t […]
Ball. Don’t. Lie The Sixers overcame a horrendous call at the end of regulation to take down the Houston Rockets 128-122 Thursday night. Joel Embiid was dominant for much of the night with 32 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists going 10-of-19 from the floor. Tyrese Maxey had a much better night attacking the basket, […]

Good evening, I hope everything’s going well for you. The floor is now yours and here’s a random clip:
In a bit of poetic justice, Josh Giddey will seek his vengeance against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night. The Chicago Bulls point guard, who suffered a hamstring strain midway through an ill-fated 136-101 loss to Minnesota last month and had been gone ever since, will be playing on a minutes restriction. Minnesota, meanwhile, is highly motivated to end a three-game losing skid as its front office and coaches get a chance to scout some of their preferred Bulls trade prospects i...
