On a freezing cold Thursday night in Minneapolis, the Minnesota Timberwolves desperately needed a win. They had lost their previous three games and had fallen to seventh place in the Western Conference. They were unable to get it as they were taken down by the middling Chicago Bulls 120-115. Just like the previous game against […]

Have yourself a night, Chicago, Josh Giddey is back!
And he looks good.
With a big win over the same team against whom Giddey suffered his hamstring strain, the Bulls are now riding a three-game win streak and are back to .500. The offense looked fluid with him on the floor, even in limited minutes. And I’m happy the rest of the cast was able to fit around him like water in a jar.
Matas once again saw no minutes in the clutch. I know the five the Bulls closed with were strong, b...

After blowing a 16-point lead and completely falling apart in Houston likely left the Spurs with a bad taste in their mouths for the last 48 hours ago, they made sure it didn’t happen again against the Utah Jazz tonight, although they still made everyone sweat a little first.

One look at the injury report, and it was clear that the Utah Jazz were welcoming Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio into the Delta Center for a 48-minute formality. We can do the whole song and dance, or you can kindly take your victory and go. No Lauri Markkanen, as he is still absent […]

The Rockets, the 76ers, and overtime. Three things that have been synonymous over the last couple of seasons. Unfortunately, the Rockets being on the road and losing has also become synonymous.

Regulation and overtime weren’t enough to decide a winner, but the Blackhawks used the shootout to pick up both points in a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night in Raleigh.
Just after the midpoint of the first period, Chicago went ahead 1-0 when a solo effort from Ilya Mikheyev resulted in a shorthanded goal:

The Illini are hoping the junior can take it to another level on both ends of the floor with their starting PG out. When I first heard about Kylan Boswell’s hand injury, my mind immediately shifted to Mihailo Petrovic. Which makes a bit of sense, considering he is the backup point guard to Boswell, and […]

The Carolina Hurricanes came into this game allowing the fewest shots on goal per game in the NHL (24.1). Carolina got the only power play of the first period, which wasn’t ideal. When the horn sounded after 20 minutes of hockey, the Blackhawks had been out-shot 13-4 but took a 1-1 tie to the room. And the Hawks’ one goal came while the Canes had the advantage.
The Blackhawks continued to get overwhelmed to start the second period, and helped Carolina by taking too many penalties. Remembe...

Pretty much same ol’, same ol’. In a series of tweets and podcasts Thursday, pundits suggested that with two weeks to go before the February 5 (3:00 p.m. ET) trade deadline, the Brooklyn Nets are unlikely to make a big deal involving either Michael Porter Jr. or Nic Claxton. As for Cam Thomas, there doesn’t […]

Ball. Don’t. Lie The Sixers overcame a horrendous call at the end of regulation to take down the Houston Rockets 128-122 Thursday night. Joel Embiid was dominant for much of the night with 32 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists going 10-of-19 from the floor. Tyrese Maxey had a much better night attacking the basket, […]

We all watched — and many cried — as Jonathan Toews received a well-earned hero’s welcome when he returned to Chicago earlier this week.
The Winnipeg Jets knew the significance of the moment. And documented it, including having a mic on Toews for the moment none of us will forget for a long, long time.
This is an absolute must watch for Blackhawks fans. Warning: there will probably be a few more tears.
