A promising start devolved into a familiar nightmare on Friday for the Dallas Mavericks (8-16) in a 132-111 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder (22-1) at Paycom Center. The Thunder defense clamped down on both Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis to extend Oklahoma City’s win streak to 14 and put the kibosh on the Mavs’ […]

The Spurs had been doing well at masking major absences, but couldn’t survive one more in their visit to Cleveland.

The Cavaliers scored 80 points in the paint and dominated the third quarter […]

Well, that was a basketball game. The shorthanded Lakers didn’t have a chance at all at beating the Celtics. Boston started red-hot from 3-point range and ended the game hitting 24 from beyond the arc. Los Angeles appeared exhausted and unable to put up much of a fight. Head coach JJ Redick cleared his bench […]

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the San Antonio Spurs behind a 44-19 third quarter. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. Donovan Mitchell 28 points, 8 assists, 2 rebounds Mitchell didn’t have to do it all on his own tonight. He was a constant presence, but he never had to […]
The San Antonio Spurs, in their third city in four nights, couldn’t withstand the feisty Cleveland Cavaliers. The teams played evenly for the first half, but the Spurs transition defense was weaker than normal and Cleveland got everything they wanted in the lane en route to a massive third quarter that put the visitors away. […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers took care of business. Let’s see who won and lost the night. WINNER – Jaylon Tyson I don’t know where the Cavs would be without Jaylon Tyson this season. I mean, I don’t even know where they’d be this week without the sophomore wing. Tyson started the week by scoring a career-high […]
The Utah Jazz (8-14) beat the Brooklyn Nets last night for their second road win. Despite their record, they’ve put forth spunky efforts many times this season. And they have NBA players (Lauri Markkanen, Keyonte George, etc.) on their roster. There was reason to expect the Salt City crew to give the Knicks a little […]
“We can’t control winning,” Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said on Friday evening. On a cold December night, the Raptors prepared to play their second game of a back-to-back, their 5th game in seven nights. Last night’s buzzer-beater loss to the LA Lakers still fresh, it was time to let that go and focus […]
The Atlanta Hawks were at home on Friday evening to face the Denver Nuggets. The Hawks are coming off a tough loss against the Los Angeles Clippers, but they were without Jalen Johnson, and the team didn’t seem like they had the legs to compete after all the traveling that they’ve done the past two […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers looked more like themselves for at least one quarter on Friday. They outscored the San Antonio Spurs 44-19 in the third. Those 12 dominant minutes were enough to lead them to a much-needed 130-117 victory over San Antonio. Jaylon Tyson led the way for the Cavs. He nearly outscored the Spurs by […]
The Jazz couldn’t get it done tonight against the New York Knicks, falling 146-112 in what was basically a disaster from the opening tip. Utah started this game like they were still in the locker room, going down 23-0 before Keyonte George finally got the first points of the night at the 5:27 mark. By […]
With Jayson Tatum, LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Marcus Smart all sidelined, this watered-down version of Celtics-Lakers didn’t carry quite the same weight as many others over the years. But, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Jordan Walsh and Payton Pritchard ensured Celtics fans still got their money’s worth. Brown led the way with 30 points, 8 […]
