Stephon Castle’s heady leadership and playmaking, interspersed with highlight plays from De’Aaron Fox, Keldon Johnson, and Dylan Harper, turbocharged a decisive 21-5 ambush in the fourth quarter to thwart a Clippers comeback. Without the services of MVP and DPOY candidate Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio (59-18) weathered a good first half by Kawhi Leonard to hold […]
This game was over once the ball went up. The Thunder showed the Lakers why they are 10 games behind the defending champs. They suffocated them defensively as the Lakers didn’t make a field goal until the 7:07 mark in the first quarter. OKC jumped in front by as many as 23 in the opening […]
On a night where everything that could go wrong did for the Lakers, the biggest blow did not come on the scoreboard. In the third quarter of Thursday’s demoralizing loss to the Thunder, Luka Dončić came to a stop for a jumper and immediately grabbed the back of his left leg. He lost the ball […]
The Lakers were bludgeoned from the opening tip of Thursday’s showdown with the Thunder, falling behind by double digits minutes into the game and trailing by as many as 45 en route to a 139-96 loss.

One of the crazier rule changes the NBA has made in recent years was the 65-game minimum for players to qualify for awards. It’s led to some truly wonky results like a whole host of the league’s top defenders being ineligible for Defensive Player of the Year and plenty of deserving players missing out on […]
One of the few things that hasn’t gone right for the Lakers during their recent winning run has been Marcus Smart’s injury.

The Leafs head north in California before heading back south again to Los Angeles.
The Portland Trail Blazers take on the New Orleans Pelicans at the Moda Center tonight. It’d be easy to dismiss a game against a team that’s won just 25 of 76 games as trivial. Reality check: if the Blazers don’t win this one, their hard-fought, rallying cry victory against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday […]
The San Jose Sharks are looking to keep that winning streak going tonight, against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Sharks have won three in a row, most recently beating out the Anaheim Ducks in exciting, come from behind fashion last night. But the players need to turn the page quickly and get ready to host the Maple Leafs, who are on the second part of the California road trip. The Leafs had an emotional win in Anaheim on Monday night, beating the Ducks 5-4 in a slug fest that saw Toronto t...

With the regular season winding down and every game tightening the Western Conference race, San Jose delivered one of its most important wins of the season; a 4-3 comeback over the Anaheim Ducks at SAP Center. Against a division leader near the top of the conference, the Sharks showed they can compete with the NHL’s best when it matters most. The Sharks entered the night sitting just behind the Lo...
Things couldn’t have gone better for the Lakers this week. Not only did they win, but they did so with pizzazz.

[…]

Per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Chargers are hosting former Cal and Oklahoma running back Jaydn Ott on a visit […]
The king of the Western Conference is here and his name is Luka Dončić. During the month of March, no one played better than the Wonder Boy and the NBA agreed, naming him the Player of the Month for the Western Conference on Thursday. This is the second time this season that Luka has won […]
Major League Baseball on Wednesday unveiled its recommended slot values for the 2026 MLB Draft, which determines the bonus pools that each team has to spend this July.

The Ducks blew a 3-2 lead…
The Los Angeles Dodgers finished the 2025 season with more days on the injured list than any other team—it hardly came as a surprise, considering the track record of this organization and many of its pitchers. While that illustrates just how often the Dodgers must turn to their outstanding depth, it doesn’t even cover the […]
We are officially in the month of April with free agency mostly over. From this point forward, teams will put most of their focus around the NFL Draft. To get a better sense of where things stand for the Los Angeles Rams ahead of the draft, let’s take a look at their depth chart. Quarterback […]
LOS ANGELES — While the offense wasn’t much to write home about in dropping two of three games to the Cleveland Guardians, the Dodgers did get pretty good starting pitching in the series. And made history in doing so. Roki Sasaki started Monday and was so-so, fighting command to get through four innings and managed […]
The Los Angeles Chargers have three of the first 86 selections in the NFL Draft this month and they have a few holes on the roster to patch up.

The Seattle Kraken have been trending in the wrong direction as of late. After losing seven out of their last 10 games, the Kraken are now three points behind the Los Angeles Kings for the final wild card spot in the Western Conference. They are also behind the San Jose Sharks, Nashville Predators, and Winnipeg Jets. If the Kraken end up missing the playoffs again, they very well could end up making some changes to their roster this offseason. Because of this, let's look at three Kraken offsea...
The story of the 2025 season for the Los Angeles Rams was their movement to more 12 and 13 personnel packages on offense. After being strictly an 11 personnel team for much of the Sean McVay era, the Rams leaned into multiple tight end sets at one of the highest rates in the NFL in […]
