The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Portland Trail Blazers behind the best game of Jarrett Allen’s career. WINNER – Jarrett Allen Last game, I gave Allen a WINNER for his dominant first half—a first half that never translated to anything in the second as the Cavs let the Suns pull away from them. I’m glad to […]

BOSTON — In the team’s final home game before Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, Celtics guard Anfernee Simons helped emphasize his case to remain with the Celtics.

The Jazz stayed within striking distance all night and had their chances late, but never quite found enough consistent offense to […]

As much to the disappointment of Los Utah Jazz and all the fans in South America, the Jazz finished their longest homestand of the season with a 1-5 record; that one win came on a career-high night for Keyonte George.

Yuck. That’s really all there is to say about what we just witnessed. The Chicago Bulls posted a season-low point total tonight, the worst offensive showing of their season , putting up season lows in field goal percentage, shots made from the field and behind the arc. There was more garbage time than actual competitive basketball, and that tells you just about everything you need to know. Jevon Carter must have been the very thin thread holding this Chicago Bulls team together, because t...
