For 12 minutes, the Washington Wizards looked alright. They dashed out to a 12-point lead, closed the first quarter up 11, and the Celtics’ broadcast team fretted about Boston’s three-point bricklaying.

Following their first loss of the season, the Spurs had work to do. Phoenix had concocted a scheme that exposed San Antonio’s lack of shooting while also limiting Wemby’s offense, forcing the good guys to adjust. The Spurs did exactly that Wednesday night – to start, at least. From the tip, LA employed a similar […]

That makes five wins in a row after the two losses to start the season. Perhaps the Rockets weren’t doomed after all? In any case, in a game where Kevin Durant shot poorly, and Alperen Sengun merely had a good game, the Rockets won comfortably. Amen Thompson was great. Tari Eason continues to make nearly […]

Tonight, Donovan Mitchell put together one of his best performances in a Cleveland Cavaliers uniform — all because an opponent on NBA 2K told him he was ‘washed up’ just hours before the game. “This kid pissed me off today,” Mitchell said after the game. “I was playing 2K for like two hours… and he […]

Teams have learned that the best chance of stopping the Spurs is to send waves of defenders at Victor Wembanyama and wear him out as he tries to fight through a forest of defenders to get to the basket. The Spurs haven’t found the answer for that strategy, which resulted in a fifth foul on […]

A three-game skid ended on Wednesday night in Vancouver as a Tyler Bertuzzi hat trick helped propel the Hawks to a 5-2 win over the Canucks. Vancouver thought they had a 1-0 lead in the second period when Conor Garland scored, but a successful challenge from the Blackhawks confirmed that Garland pretty clearly cross-checked Spencer Knight prior to the goal, which was disallowed.

Remember when the Blackhawks lost to the Canucks at the United Center on Oct. 17 and the refs questionably took a would-be go-ahead goal away from Tyler Bertuzzi even after a lengthy review? Puck don’t lie. Bertuzzi put together the fourth hat trick of his NHL career to lead a Blackhawks’ third period offensive explosion that ends the Canucks’ dominance of the Blackhawks in recent years.
