Whether it was because Luka Dončić, Gabe Vincent and Rui Hachimura were out or because of a bigger issue, the Lakers were unable to make it much of a game against the Suns. Phoenix was in full control at the half, up by double figures and in the third, they broke the game wide open, […]

The first period of this game was a dump and chase drill. The teams combined to put ten shots on net (6-4 in favor of the Flyers). Philly’s second shot didn’t happen until 10:17 had come off the clock. Unfortunately, it went in. The Blackhawks had a 7-3 advantage in scoring chances in the first period at 5-on-5 , but were chasing one after one. The Blackhawks and Flyers really made it feel like both teams have three days off after this game in the second period… until the Flyers amazingly...

The Chicago Bulls are on a four-game win streak after beating the Atlanta Hawks tonight, 126–123, in a game that went down to the wire.

The NBA must have expected this to be a lively game. For the New York Knicks’ (20*-9) visit to the Minnesota Timberwolves (20-10), the league enlisted an officiating crew of Josh Tiven, Sean Corbin, and Michael Smith. By my count, that’s 76 years of NBA officiating experience. Turns out, the league was right. With the […]
