The New York Knicks (23*–13) host the Los Angeles Clippers (13–22) at Madison Square Garden tonight, with the Knicks aiming to stop a four-game slide.

Halfway through the third quarter, it looked like the Wizards would coast to a blowout win over the Orlando Magic. They were up 26, the Magic kept bricking shots, fouling, and throwing the ball away, and the Wizards were fast-breaking them into oblivion. Then Magic coach Jamahl Mosley benched his starters and the Orlando bench […]
There’s losing, and there’s getting humiliated. If you were to categorize the Miami Heat’s 122-94 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday, it’s much closer to the latter than it was the former. This comes on the heels of losing to the Timberwolves inside Kaseya Center, 125-115, four days prior. While Heat head coach Erik […] The post Erik Spoelstra says Heat showed less ‘spirit’ in loss to Timberwolves appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The Carolina Panthers are going to the playoffs despite ending the season with an 8-9 record. It’s a rare but not unprecedented occurrence. It’s happened four times previously—the 2010 Seahawks, 2014 Panthers, 2020 Washington Football Team, and 2022 Buccaneers. As you can see, the Panthers have become the first multi-time entrant into that exclusive club […]

Well, that was disappointing. After going on a fun three-game win streak to close out 2025 and begin the new year — picking up wins against the Grizzlies, third-place Knicks, and Cooper Flagg’s Mavs — the Sixers completely fumbled the game they should have won. On Monday, they somehow lost to a hospital Nuggets squad […]
Last night in Memphis, Keldon scored 13 points. This one in particular was of note: On that shot, Johnson passed Marco Belinelli for Spurs franchise bench scoring.

The 2025-2026 Boston Celtics are exceeding even the most optimistic expectations. This season was supposed to be a retooling year and a gap year when the Celtics would finally pick inside the top-20 in the NBA Draft, maybe even quietly put their thumb on the scale and stealth-tank their way into the lottery. In hindsight, […]

A few years ago, we saw a post saying that only (maybe) four players had ever blocked Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s Sky Hook, but we keep finding other guys who did it. As far as we can remember, Bill Willoughby did it, though it was called goal tending, Bill Walton got one from behind and Wilt Chamberlain […]
If you witnessed the Miami Heat’s 28-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, you likely saw its worst loss of the season to date. But the loss continued a long-standing trend. For most of the season, the Miami Heat have beaten up on bad teams. They’ve flexed their muscle — their fast-paced, relentless offense paired with […] The post The Heat are still struggling to beat good teams appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

When we’re young and we do poorly on a math test, we start to believe that we’re “bad at math.” We beat ourselves up, wonder why we’re lagging compared to our peers and internalize comments that seem harmless to others but eat at us inside. As we get older, we go to a lower-level class, […]
There’s been plenty of conversation (as usual) around what’s happening in Laker Town. That discussion has revolved around, but certainly has not been limited to, the fit between two ball-dominant stars in Luka Doncic and LeBron James. Even with the fit not being perfect though, and with the 41 year old James looking mortal at […]
