30-year Orlandoversary: Anderson banks in game-winner from deep as Magic nip Bullets, 92-91

Shaquille O’Neal became the star of the Orlando Magic franchise as a rookie during the 1992-93 season, but one might argue that in the clutch, no player was more valuable than guard Nick Anderson. The first-ever draft pick of the Magic, Anderson came through late time and time again that season, including on this day 30 years ago. With less than two seconds remaining, Anderson banked home a 3-pointer to lift Orlando to a thrilling 92-91 victory over the Washington Bullets. With more than f...

Russell Westbrook’s Debut, Ranked: 3 takeaways from Clippers-Kings

Russell Westbrook celebrates his Clippers debut. | Photo by Harry How/Getty Images The Russell Westbrook era got off to the craziest start possible for the Clippers. In a game that effectively resembled a belated NBA All-Star exhibition matchup, the Los Angeles Clippers fell to the Sacramento Kings, 176-175, in double overtime. It was the second-highest scoring game in the league’s history, as both sides shot the lights out and played at an unbelievable pace right up until the final buz...

25-year Orlandoversary: Anderson’s late 3 lifts Magic to victory, spoils Shaq’s return to Orlando

Many Orlando Magic fans still rue the day that All-Star and Hall of Fame center Shaquille O’Neal left the City Beautiful for the bright lights of Los Angeles. On this day 25 years ago, however, it was the first-ever draft pick of the Magic that played the role of hero. In O’Neal’s return, Nick Anderson buried a late 3-pointer to lift Orlando to a thrilling 98-96 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. O’Neal was in his second season with the Lakers, but did not play in the trip to Orlando the...

30-year Orlandoversary: O’Neal becomes first Magic player to appear in All-Star Game

Photo by Andrew D. Bernstein/NBAE via Getty Images Over the years, the Orlando Magic have had their fair share of superstars. They hope they have found another in Paolo Banchero. On this day 30 years ago, however, Shaquille O’Neal became the first player in franchise history to appear in the NBA All-Star Game. Although the Eastern Conference lost to the West in overtime in Salt Lake City, O’Neal had a strong showing in the 135-132 defeat. In his first appearance in the NBA All-Star Ga...

BREAKING: Russell Westbrook to sign with Clippers

After finalizing a contract buyout with the Utah Jazz, 11-year veteran Russell Westbrook is joining the Los Angeles Clippers, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. Prior to the end of the trade deadline, the nine-time All-Star guard was dealt from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Utah Jazz and will now suit up for the Lakers’ crosstown counterparts. After fi...

Norman Powell is most deserving of the Sixth Man of the Year Award

Photo by Andrew D. Bernstein/NBAE via Getty Images There’s no doubt about it. In the Los Angeles Clippers history, there isn’t much lifting trophies and hanging banners. In fact, there’s none. Even after half a decade, three different cities, the Clippers have still yet to make a mark on the NBA’s history book. But what they did do is produce the greatest line of off-the-bench scorers. The players that take over and entirely shift the momentum game. The players that check in on the co...

When I walk around the vast gothic campus of Duke University, remnants of Luke Kennard greet my gaze. Hung on one of the door rooms of Duke’s Trinity Residence Hall is a whiteboard that reads, “Who is your favorite Duke basketball player of all time?” Above the obvious fan favorites — the likes of Paolo Banchero, Jayson Tatum, and Zio...

30-year Orlandoversary: Magic outlast Knicks in first-ever triple-overtime game

Photo credit should read DAVID MILLS/AFP via Getty Images For the Orlando Magic, Valentine’s Day has had its quirks over the years. In 1990, Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan was infamously forced to wear a nameless No. 12 jersey after his came up missing at Orlando Arena. On this day 30 years ago, the Magic played their first triple-overtime game. Shaquille O’Neal bounced back from a poor offensive start with several key defensive plays down the stretch as the Magic topped the New York...

Kings at Blues GameDay Thread

Can the Blues turn around a sinking ship? To say that the Blues’ play as of late has been uninspiring is being very generous. Mired in their longest regulation losing streak since Craig Berube took over as coach, the pressure is on for this team to play as well as they did during the first three games. Brandon Saad is still out for tonight, but the team has options, and they’ve chosen to exercise them. From stlblues.com, here’re tonight’s lines: Forwards Schenn - O’Reilly - Kyrou Buchn...

Kings at Blues preview: Struggling Blues need some consistent effort

Photo by Joe Puetz/NHLI via Getty Images What is going on with this team? It’s been a while since Blues fans have been treated to a stretch of play this putrid. What began as a good effort loss to the Winnipeg Jets last week has slid into an absolute dumpster fire in which it looks like the Blues are actively trying to lose games. Their 6-2 loss against the Nashville Predators was bad, but their 7-4 loss on Saturday night against the Montreal Canadiens was atrocious. A blown 3-1 lead sl...

Canadiens at Blues GameDay Thread

If you saw the news that Pavel Buchnevich was activated from the IR and got very happy about the prospects for tonight’s game, well... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it doesn’t look like he’ll be in. He’s getting one more game’s worth of rest before returning Monday night against the Los Angeles Kings, and honestly, a healthy Buchnevich is worth one more game out. Will that make a win again...
