In a way, it kind of feels like the Spurs have switched places with their IH-10 Rivals this season. While they’re close in the standings, it has been two entirely different seasons for the Spurs and Houston Rockets.

On Monday night, I went to cover a Chicago Blackhawks game that felt like a significantly bigger moment than a divisional rivalry on a Monday night in January. Jonathan Toews, the longest-tenured captain in the history of the franchise, was playing his first game as a visitor. When a legend comes “home,” there are ceremonies and celebrations. And this was no different. After the Jets’ morning skate, the Winnipeg media team set up a press conference… on the road. Toews spoke to the media f...

TheRockets won their matchup against the Pelicans on Sunday pretty easily, with the return of Dr. Jaswishy, and Kevin Durant eclipsing Dirk Nowitzki’s career scoring mark. Dirk had recorded a nice congratulatory video for Kevin Durant, which was played in Toyota center upon points 31,362 being scored. That is, truly, a lot of basketball points. […]

Spencer Knight delivered a 32-save shutout and the Chicago Blackhawks ended their three-game losing streak with a 2-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night at the United Center. After a scoreless first period, the Blackhawks finally broke through at 13:21 of the second. Ryan Donato flipped a long pass to a streaking Jason Dickinson, who settled the bouncing puck in the offensive zone and slipped a wrist shot between Connor Hellebuyck’s pads to make it 1-0. lamp: lit🔥 pic.twitter...

In a matchup that felt far more like May than January, the Pistons outlasted the Celtics 104–103 on Monday night at Little Caesars Arena, surviving a final Jaylen Brown jumper that fell just short at the buzzer. The Celtics jumped out to an early 16–8 lead behind Brown’s scoring and strong defensive activity, but the […]

The first period happened. I swear it did. Somehow, 20 minutes of hockey were played around one of the most incredible tributes I’ve ever seen or been fortunate to attend. Both teams put 12 shots on net and had some power play time in the first period, but the hockey took a back seat to Jonathan Toews’ moment . The Blackhawks were able to get on the board, but Connor Hellebuyck wasn’t giving them much. Hellebuyck made a ridiculous save against a Connor Bedard shot attempt on a Blackhawks ...
