The Cleveland Cavaliers capped off their three-game road trip with a much-needed 113-101 win over the San Antonio Spurs, fueled by the resurgence of their former All-Star center. It has never been a skill issue with Jarrett Allen. That was on display as he provided a game-high 27 points and 10 rebounds. One of the […]

On the court, it’s close to Matt Painter’s masterpiece. Zach Edey’s national championship runner-up team, that was a team of grit, of redemption, a team fighting from the shadows and contending with the demons that were at Purdue long before Matt Painter. Edey might be Matt Painter’s singular greatest work of heart, from a top-400 […]

It was bound to happen. We were just waiting for this sort of game from Porter Martone to come by and make a whole lot of jaws drop with the sheer magnitude of ability he has on the ice while skating for Team Canada at the 2026 World Juniors. It could’ve been against Latvia over the weekend but the central European nation stood strong against Canada for the second year in a row and managed to be a real hard out. It could’ve been against Czechia in the tournament opener but that is a large...

If you look at the picture to the left, there's something significant about that image. That picture was taken with 5:18 to play after Sparta Praha went up 2-1 on Canada when Filip Chlapík scored from former Winnipeg Jets forward Kristian Vesalainen, and you may notice that there's only one white jersey in the entire picture. Far be it for me to suggest that's how Canada played this entire Spengler Cup tournament, but scoring just two goals in two losses when they had a chance to earn the bye ...

I turned on the game tonight expecting either a tough win or a big loss — nothing in between. But losing Josh Giddey and Coby White was not the kind of collateral I expected the Bulls to take on. The only silver lining to a blowout loss is that it lets me get this article out a little faster. First Half: Coby White OUT! Not the prettiest of starts for either the Bulls or the Timberwolves. It felt like there was a lid on the rim. Chicago opened just 1-for-10 on their first 10 shots an...
