LOS ANGELES – El Matador. Wonder Boy. El Niño Maravilla. Luka Magic. These are just a few of Luka Dončić’s nicknames. Each of them is meant to capture an aspect of his greatness, but maybe instead of a catchy slogan, we can just call Luka what he is: the best player in the NBA. While that might […]

A one-point loss at the horn — not a bad way to go for a team of the Utah Jazz’s standing. A needed loss to keep the locomotive from slinging off the rails on a short-sighted winning frenzy. Two straight wins to open the season would have split Jazz fans into warring factions, each carrying […]

The Portland Trail Blazers played the first game of their Tiago Splitter era with effort, resolve, and verve on Friday evening. They hosted the veteran Golden State Warriors, led by former MVP and future Hall-of-Famer Steph Curry. Curry was everything advertised, scoring 35 points on 7-14 shooting from beyond the arc. And it didn’t matter […]

On Friday night, he gave the Arizona Wildcats men’s basketball program a solid by wearing his son Bryce’s Arizona jersey to the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Mavericks lost their second straight game to begin the 2025-26 season and their home opener on Friday night in embarrassing fashion, 117-107 to the Washington Wizards. Kyshawn George led the way for the Wizards with 34 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and five steals. Dallas native Tre Johnson also added 17 points, and Alex […]

If the OKC game was exciting, frustrating and encouraging in equal measure, this game was pure frustration. The Rockets have started the year playing two “Can’t Call ‘Em All” defenses, though Detroit is actually a more extreme version. An average Sengun or Amen game is a Rockets win. They had something considerably worse. Tonight’s reverse […]

The Dallas Mavericks fell to the Washington Wizards 117-107 in Friday night’s matchup at home. The horrid loss marks Dallas’ second of the season, and follows a rather forgettable 125-92 defeat to Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs. Daniel Gafford (ankle sprain), Dante Exum (mysteriously undisclosed leg injury?), and Kyrie Irving (ACL) were all out for the Mavericks. […]

After a too easy and perhaps too fun opening night blowout of the Dallas Mavericks, the Spurs came back down to earth a bit against an injured New Orleans Pelicans club that at least has a healthy Zion Williamson back. It was a back-and-forth, ugly game where neither team ever led by double figures or […]

It was a dicey fourth quarter, but the Cleveland Cavaliers held off the Brooklyn Nets 131-124 to pick up their first win of the season. Despite blowing a 25-point lead, the Cavs dug in for the final four minutes and played physical basketball to avoid a full collapse. Grades are based on our expectations for […]

Washington went into Dallas and beat the Mavericks, 117-107. The Wizards’ bench played a significant role in the outcome of this game. It started ugly with the Mavericks going up by as many as 14 points. Towards the end of the first quarter, Tre Johnson and Cam Whitmore entered the game while Kyshawn George returned […]

ter a scandal-wracked Thursday the Portland Trail Blazers will take the floor tonight against the Golden State Warriors. This will be the first game with Interim Head Coach Tiago Splitter at the helm. It’ll be interesting to see if the Blazers can keep up their furious pace—and constant substitution patterns—from their opening-night tilt versus the […]

The Pelicans provided a much tougher test for the Silver and Black tonight than the poorly constructed roster of the Mavericks on Wednesday. The combination of elite shooting and ball movement kept the Spurs defense off balance as the home crowd kept the environment hostile for the Spurs. It was a good learning experience for […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers grabbed their first win of the season, seemingly despite their best intentions. The Cavaliers nearly coughed up a 25-point second-half lead to the lowly Brooklyn Nets before securing a 131-124 victory. This will go down as a win in the standings, but it was hardly one to feel good about for the […]

Kenny Atkinson praised the Brooklyn Nets for how much trouble they gave his team last year before tipoff this evening. With Cleveland eyeing a Larry O’Brien and the Nets eyeing ping pong balls, they gave Cleveland more than any game preview expected, especially in November, when Brooklyn nearly ended their perfect start to the season.
