BOSTON — Baylor Scheierman never doubted he could do this. Not when he fell out of the rotation early on this season, not when he had a tough shooting stretch last Summer League in Las Vegas. The 25-year-old Celtics forward always saw this kind of success coming. “I’m super confident in my abilities,” Scheierman said […]
The Penguins got out to an early lead, held on for dear life and gave themselves enough of a cushion to take a 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night.

Calgary took a 2-1 lead to the room after 20 minutes. The parade to the penalty boxes continued in the second period. After 40 minute...

Despite the Miami Heat coming out scorching offensively, they were unable to take care of business against the visiting Boston Celtics. Miami saw an early 19-point lead, including a 64-54 edge by halftime, vanish in the second half— particularly in the fourth quarter. The Heat got throttled in that final period, as Boston had the […] The post Heat’s early 19-point lead wasn’t enough to close out the Celtics, lose 119-114 appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
1. ALEJANDRO GARNACHO (8.3, sub) Garnacho’s best performances seem to be off the bench, which isn’t a bad thing. But it would be cool if he could make similar impact when starting. But hey, better than nothing at all, and his brace gives us a bit of hope of pulling off an upset in the […]
The Dallas Mavericks absolutely evaporated the Utah Jazz by a score of 144-122 in a game that was never close. This game had all the warning signs that it was going to get extremely ugly for someone. Both teams are on the end of a back-to-back, both teams are nursing draft picks, and both teams […]
The shorthanded Utah Jazz were blown out by 22 points by the Dallas Mavericks in a game that felt endless. For a team jockeying for lottery position, it was a useful loss against another bottom-tier opponent also eyeing a top-five pick. The Jazz face Dallas again Saturday. Going into the game, it seemed as if […]

Kyle Tucker has reportedly agreed to terms with the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to Jeff Passan. The four-year deal is worth $240 million, according to Robert Murray.

Recap of the game.
It was a foregone conclusion that the Cubs were not going to bring back outfielder Kyle Tucker. For whatever reason, they showed little interest in bringing him back. The Cubs instead pivoted to a major signing of third baseman Alex Bregman, which you know all about by now. But it is a minor surprise that […]
