The old ABA was a gloriously flawed league. On the one hand, it had to distinguish itself from the stodgier NBA, which it did with things like the three point shot, flashier offenses and the trim-colored basketball. On the other, it lacked stable finances, including TV coverage. And ultimately, even with players like Julius Erving, […]
This past offseason, forward Dorian Finney-Smith agreed to a four-year, $53 million contract with the Houston Rockets. The first two seasons of the contract are completely guaranteed; the third and fourth years are not, and there is a player option in the fourth year. The addition of a valuable three-and-D wing to the Rockets’ lineup […]
“What’s our offensive philosophy? Create two-on-ones.” Joe Mazzulla said. His voice rose as he pounded the table for emphasis. “Find the two-on-one, make the right play against the two-on-one. For as long as I’m here, that’s going to be our offensive philosophy.” It was a moment that captured the fiery precision of Boston’s head coach […]
Kon Knueppel finished an assist shy of a triple double, but sloppy play caused the Charlotte Hornets to lose to the Los Angeles Lakers. The summary A track meet broke out to start the game.

Miles Bridges […] The post Recap/Analysis: Turnovers doom Hornets in loss to Laker first appeared on At The Hive .

The Cleveland Cavaliers snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Hey, at least this isn’t something they do very often. LOSER – Defending for 0.4 seconds Let’s get this out of the way. The Cavs somehow, after playing a game in which they had no business winning, found themselves on the verge of forcing a […]
The NBA just wrapped up its craziest night yet of the regular season. Both the Heat and Magic walked away victorious thanks to a spectacular buzzer-beating play. The first of the night came in Orlando, where Desmond Bane had his first signature moment as part of the Magic organization. Tied with the Portland Trail Blazers at 112 apiece with 1.9 seconds left, he ran toward Franz Wagner to retrieve the inbound. Despite having All-Defensive Team forward Toumani Camara draped all over him, Ba...
Svi Mykhailiuk | D+ Will Hardy’s favorite player struggled to hit shots in this one. He also didn’t defend particularly well, as evidenced by his team-worst -17. I don’t normally put too much credence into +/-, but when all of Jazz media points to it when it’s good, you have to also admit when it’s […]
The Dallas Mavericks were sporting their beautiful Hardwood Classic green jerseys when they welcomed the Milwaukee Bucks to the American Airlines Center Monday night. Languishing as the 14 Seed in the West, Dallas was looking to improve on their 3-7 record but could not get the job done as they fell 116-114. Let’s get to […]
Following two hard-fought victories, the Spurs extended their win streak to three games following an up and down performance against Chicago Monday night. San Antonio shot out of a cannon to start the game. De’Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes made back to back open threes that were generated by Wemby’s gravity, and Chicago had a […]
The Jazz returned to the friendly confines of the Delta Center, playing host to the Minnesota Timberwolves, who thoroughly dispatched them their last meeting, 137-97. This one was more competitive, with the Jazz even holding a small halftime lead. However, in the third quarter the Jazz were reminiscent of J.R.R. Tolkien’s ancient dwarves of Khazad-dûm—they […]
After knowing right away that the Lakers weren’t going to win on Saturday against Atlanta, the opening minutes of Monday’s game against the Hornets were going to be notable. While it wasn’t a “blow you away” type of performance from LA, it was a far more serious approach. Impressively — and improbably — it was […]
Monday night was never going to be Friday night. At least by no reasonable expectation. After a 40 point evisceration of the Utah Jazz at Target Center on Friday night, the Wolves this time were in Salt Lake City to take on Utah for the second time in four days. Ironically, the game started out […]
You can’t beat many magicians if you let them pick all the tricks to be played, a maxim the Portland Trailblazers verified against the Orlando Magic in NBA action tonight. Orlando turned out to have more than enough tricks at hand to prevail, scratching out a 115-112 win thanks to a buzzer-beating three by Blazers […]
Dallas Mavericks (3-8) found yet another way to pull defeat from the jaws of victory on Monday night in their 116-113 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks (7-4) at American Airlines Center. The Bucks came into Dallas in a vulnerable spot, on the second night of a back-to-back set in a game in which Giannis Antetokounmpo […]
Well, in a game that absolutely nobody wants to remember, the Bucks eked out a win against the Dallas Mavericks in a game that had no right being that close. Giannis and Kyle Kuzma led the charge in the scoring column, combining for 56 points. Dallas was led by Cooper Flagg, who dropped 26 points, […]
Looking to push their win streak to 3, the Spurs got out to a fast start, building a double digit lead early in the game and making it look easy. The way Chicago has started this year though that wasn’t likely to last, and in the 2nd quarter the Bulls were able to settle down, […]

With Josh Giddey stuck in street clothes , the Chicago Bulls looked out of sync to start the night. The terrifying Victor Wembanyama needed 29 seconds before he was shooting free throws. A little over 30 seconds after that, the recently returned De’Aaron Fox splashed a three. In the blink of an eye, the San Antonio Spurs were up 12-4 and Billy Donovan was calling one of his all-too-familiar early timeouts. San Antonio would go on to start the night with an 11-0 advantage in fastbreak...
The Cavaliers, the last time they were in South Beach, were a number one seed. A team at the peak of their powers in the midst of executing the biggest score discrepancy in a four-game series. Now, in the 2025-2026 season, the Cavaliers look to be a team finding a consistent identity and searching for […]
First Half: Miami struggled to get it going to start this one, going scoreless for the first two minutes and missing its first 6 shots.

Cleveland […] The post Heat beat Cavs in OT 140-138 off Wiggins’ spectacular lob game-winner appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
