The central question leading into the game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Golden State Warriors tonight was which old Hawaiian proverb would be validated—three strikes and you’re out, or the third time’s a charm. The answer provided by Portland’s 136-131 triumph was option #1 as the Californians collapsed for the third time in […]
By hook or by crook, Dillon Brooks was going to make LeBron James acknowledge him in Sunday’s game between the Lakers and Suns. Consider it mission accomplished unsuccessfully. In the most Dillon Brooks sequence imaginable, a game-winner turned into an ejection that eventually led to a Lakers win. It also included multiple altercations between the […]
It wasn’t a pretty win, but the Lakers were able to come out on top against the Suns on the road. At one point, LA led by as many as 20 points, but almost blew it in the fourth with silly fouls, bad turnovers and poor overall shooting. However, some clutch free throws from Marcus […]
Are the Dallas Mavericks (10-16) in their ascendancy as we inch closer to the potential return of star guard Kyrie Irving, who remains out as he recovers from offseason knee surgery?

In one of the most bonkers games of the season, the Lakers survived a wild ending against the Suns to earn a 116-114 win on Sunday.
