At so many points during his injury-plagued 19-game campaign a season ago, it was reasonable to think Joel Embiid may never play over 40 minutes in an NBA game again, let alone nearly 48. Even now, he might not be too hot on that prospect. “He walked into the locker room after the game and […]

The Mavericks took care of business tonight in what was probably their most impressive win and offensive performance without Anthony Davis this season, beating the Golden State Warriors 123-115 in Dallas. The Mavericks won behind an absurd performance from Naji Marshall, who scored 3o points on 10-for-12 shooting, to go along with seven rebounds and […]

On a freezing cold Thursday night in Minneapolis, the Minnesota Timberwolves desperately needed a win. They had lost their previous three games and had fallen to seventh place in the Western Conference. They were unable to get it as they were taken down by the middling Chicago Bulls 120-115. Just like the previous game against […]

Have yourself a night, Chicago, Josh Giddey is back! And he looks good. With a big win over the same team against whom Giddey suffered his hamstring strain, the Bulls are now riding a three-game win streak and are back to .500. The offense looked fluid with him on the floor, even in limited minutes. And I’m happy the rest of the cast was able to fit around him like water in a jar. Matas once again saw no minutes in the clutch. I know the five the Bulls closed with were strong, b...

After blowing a 16-point lead and completely falling apart in Houston likely left the Spurs with a bad taste in their mouths for the last 48 hours ago, they made sure it didn’t happen again against the Utah Jazz tonight, although they still made everyone sweat a little first.

One look at the injury report, and it was clear that the Utah Jazz were welcoming Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio into the Delta Center for a 48-minute formality. We can do the whole song and dance, or you can kindly take your victory and go. No Lauri Markkanen, as he is still absent […]

The Rockets, the 76ers, and overtime. Three things that have been synonymous over the last couple of seasons. Unfortunately, the Rockets being on the road and losing has also become synonymous.

The Illini are hoping the junior can take it to another level on both ends of the floor with their starting PG out. When I first heard about Kylan Boswell’s hand injury, my mind immediately shifted to Mihailo Petrovic. Which makes a bit of sense, considering he is the backup point guard to Boswell, and […]

The Carolina Hurricanes came into this game allowing the fewest shots on goal per game in the NHL (24.1). Carolina got the only power play of the first period, which wasn’t ideal. When the horn sounded after 20 minutes of hockey, the Blackhawks had been out-shot 13-4 but took a 1-1 tie to the room. And the Hawks’ one goal came while the Canes had the advantage. The Blackhawks continued to get overwhelmed to start the second period, and helped Carolina by taking too many penalties. Remembe...
