Portal season is beginning to crank up, and that means lots of player movement. We’ll do our best to keep up with it here. The most notable players to make moves so far are Virginia Tech’s Neoklis Avdalas, Pitt’s Brandin Cummings, and Georgia Tech’s Baye Ndongo, who seemed to regress this season. More are certain […]
Tonight’s game in Atlanta between the New York Knicks (22*-9) and the Hawks (15-18) had it all: playoff atmosphere; a 36-16 double-double by Karl-Anthony Towns; Trae Young threatening to steal another win from the Knicks down the stretch; Captain Clutch heroics; and yet another Knicks youngster making the most of an opportunity. What a time […]
The Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers will wrap up the 2025 regular season at U.S. Bank Stadium next weekend. When those two teams take the field, they will do so knowing that there is nothing on the line for either of them. The Vikings were eliminated from postseason contention a week or two ago, […]
In a game the Green Bay Packers want to forget, their biggest weakness was exposed in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens that ended their hopes of an NFC North title. A 41-24 loss to the Ravens officially gave the Chicago Bears their first divisional title, but it also gave the rest of the NFC […]
The story of the Green Bay Packers’ Week 17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens was very simple: It was a game of Malik Willis against Derrick Henry. Willis, the Packers’ starting quarterback due to Jordan Love suffering a concussion last week, wound up completing 18 of 21 passes for 288 yards and a touchdown to […]
The Philadelphia Eagles are 10-5 heading into their Week 17 matchup against the Buffalo Bills (11-4) on Sunday late-afternoon. The Eagles have been able to string together two wins in a row coming off a three-game losing streak, and against the Commanders last week, clinched the NFC East and their spot in the playoffs. Still, […]
Fresh off a thrilling overtime loss to the Denver Nuggets, the finale of a five-game Christmas Day slate, the Minnesota Timberwolves traveled home to face the well-rested Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night. To call it a trap game would be disrespectful to Minnesota, actually — the West’s 5-seed certainly has a focused coaching staff aware […]
The Carolina Hurricanes put an end to their losing streak with a dominating, 5-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night at the Lenovo Center. The win kept the team in sole possession of first place in the Eastern Conference and Metropolitan Division. Goaltender, Brandon Bussi earned the win and stopped 18 of […]
Mizzou’s 2026 season ends with an 8-5 record after losing the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl to Virginia. Missing a host of offensive players to transfers and injury, Mizzou’s offense failed to put up any points after the opening drive, making Virginia’s lone touchdown and two field goals enough to come out on top. Here are your […]
The Missouri Tigers closed their 2025 season with a 13-7 loss Saturday night to Virginia at the Gator Bowl. MU held the lead into the second half, but a last-ditch comeback attempt fell short as the team’s offense struggled to generate momentum after finding early success. “This is going to stick with me for a […]
For the first time in seven years, the Chicago Bears are the NFC North champions. The Bears clinched first place in the division after the Packers’ 41-24 loss to the Ravens on Saturday night. Heading into their Week 17 matchup against the 49ers, Chicago has a 2.5-game lead for first place in the NFC North. […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers looked lifeless in Houston. This will be a quick one. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. Donovan Mitchell 16 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds Mitchell forced his way to the rim and even tried to dunk his frustrations away a few times. But it wasn’t enough. Grade: […]
It was always going to happen at some point this season. While the first two match-ups during the regular season had their tense moments and questionable hits, things hadn’t boiled over like they did in the pre-season. That wasn’t the case in Saturday’s penalty-filled 4-2 win for the Tampa Bay Lightning over their in-state rivals, the Florida Panthers. Two goals, including an empty-netter, from Nikita Kucherov proved to be the difference, but it was the Lightning penalty killers that won ...
With non-conference play completed for St. John’s, the holiday break is a good time to take stock in how the rest of the Big East is performing before action heats up in January, in order of their ranking in the conference’s preseason coaches’ poll. UConn 12-1 overall record (2-0 Big East) / AP #4 in […]
The Utah Jazz picked up their second-straight win on a SEGABABA (second night of a back-to-back) against the San Antonio Spurs with a final score of 127-114. Here are the biggest takeaways from the night: Keyonte George, once again George’s third-year leap is real. His name should be right at the top of any Most […]
The Blackhawks didn’t skate until they warmed up on the ice in Dallas since losing to the Flyers. And they were facing one of the best teams in the league. So… yeah. Odds weren’t in their favor. But they played a really good first period. Chicago took the lead 3:20 into the first period and I’m not sure Arvid Söderblom ever saw the shot that tied the game almost eight minutes later. The Hawks had an 8-4 advantage in scoring chances and 3-2 advantage in high danger chances at 5-on-5 thru 20 min...
The Atlanta Hawks were back at home Saturday night to face the New York Knicks. It has not been a great week for the Hawks, as they’re currently on a five-game losing streak, with their latest one coming just last night against the Miami Heat. As for the Knicks, they’ve been playing well this season, […]
The Spurs didn’t play up to the standard they had recently set and learned the hard way that no team should be taken lightly in the NBA. The Utah Jazz, who defeated the East-leading Pistons on Friday, took care of the second-best team in the West on Saturday, thanks to fantastic outside shooting and superior […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo came back from an eight-game absence with a calf strain, helping the Milwaukee Bucks snap the Chicago Bulls’ five-game win streak at the United Center. The Greek Freak had 29 while Ryan Rollins stepped up in key moments to finish with 20. No Bull had more than Nikola Vucevic and Coby White, each […]
A record-setting second half by the Miami Heat fueled their 142-116 win over the Indiana Pacers Saturday night inside Kaseya Center. Both teams were playing on the second night of a back-to-back, but it was only one team that looked like they had fresh legs throughout the 48 minutes. Miami outscored the Pacers 83-56 in […] The post Record-setting second half fuels Heat’s 142-116 win over Pacers appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

The Cleveland Cavaliers were thrashed by the Houston Rockets. Let’s go over some of the lowlights. LOSER – Launching Three-Pointers The Cavs haven’t been a good three-point shooting team. We’ve written about this multiple times, but it might be more damaging than we’ve ever really acknowledged. This whole thing doesn’t work if the Cavs aren’t […]
