Rockets blast past Spurs 111-106

This might be the best Rockets win of the season. It’s certainly my favorite win. There’s been a lot of negativity around here (looks at self) regarding aspects of this year’s Rockets team, a good bit of it deserved. This is all positivity, though.

Bulls 3-Point Barrage Annihilates Kawhi-Less Clippers 138-110 — January 20, 2026

The Chicago Bulls edged their way back towards a .500 record tonight with a resounding 138-110 victory against the visiting LA Clippers. Ultimately, a pace-and-space Chicago squad missing Josh Giddey throttled a halfcourt-heavy, heliocentric Clippers club without Kawhi Leonard.

Coby White , even playing on a minutes restriction, looked l...
