Curry nailed eight 3-pointers and led all scorers with 38 points in the loss, but Cormac Karl “Max” Christie and Naji Marshall keyed […]

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. Tonight, the Rockets got to experience all of the above. The Rockets got another brilliant performance from Kevin Durant who scored 36 points, 7 […]
Regulation and overtime weren’t enough to decide a winner, but the Blackhawks used the shootout to pick up both points in a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night in Raleigh. Just after the midpoint of the first period, Chicago went ahead 1-0 when a solo effort from Ilya Mikheyev resulted in a shorthanded goal: GOAL: Ilya Mikheyev with a signature shorthanded steal and then he scores on the ensuing rush.

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 […]

Steph Curry led all scorers with 38 points, while Naji Marshall led Dallas with 30. The game started about an hour earlier than most Mavericks home games, and the disruption […]
The Washington Wizards were unable to keep up with the Denver Nuggets on Thursday in a 107-97 loss at Capital One Arena, extending the team’s losing streak to eight games. The Wiz Kids started this one ice cold, missing on 14 of their first 18 shot attempts as the Nuggets built up a double-digit lead […]
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...

The Carolina Hurricanes saw their three-game winning streak snapped in a thrilling back-and-forth game against the Chicago Blackhawks that was decided in a shootout. What proved to be a frustrating night for the Hurricanes on the power play started ugly as Ilya Mikheyev drew first blood just over 10 minutes into the opening stanza with […]

Pretty much same ol’, same ol’. In a series of tweets and podcasts Thursday, pundits suggested that with two weeks to go before the February 5 (3:00 p.m. ET) trade deadline, the Brooklyn Nets are unlikely to make a big deal involving either Michael Porter Jr. or Nic Claxton. As for Cam Thomas, there doesn’t […]
Ball. Don’t. Lie The Sixers overcame a horrendous call at the end of regulation to take down the Houston Rockets 128-122 Thursday night. Joel Embiid was dominant for much of the night with 32 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists going 10-of-19 from the floor. Tyrese Maxey had a much better night attacking the basket, […]
We all watched — and many cried — as Jonathan Toews received a well-earned hero’s welcome when he returned to Chicago earlier this week. The Winnipeg Jets knew the significance of the moment. And documented it, including having a mic on Toews for the moment none of us will forget for a long, long time. This is an absolute must watch for Blackhawks fans. Warning: there will probably be a few more tears.
The Portland Trail Blazers put their three-game winning streak on the line tonight with a home matchup against the Miami Heat. Time to see if Portland can keep this hot streak going!

The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams are fittingly playing for the NFC Championship Game on Sunday. In a year in which three NFC West teams made the playoffs with 12 wins, it felt inevitable that at least one would make it to Conference Championship weekend, and it’s appropriately the top two teams. This trilogy […]

Good evening, I hope everything’s going well for you. The floor is now yours and here’s a random clip:
In a bit of poetic justice, Josh Giddey will seek his vengeance against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night. The Chicago Bulls point guard, who suffered a hamstring strain midway through an ill-fated 136-101 loss to Minnesota last month and had been gone ever since, will be playing on a minutes restriction. Minnesota, meanwhile, is highly motivated to end a three-game losing skid as its front office and coaches get a chance to scout some of their preferred Bulls trade prospects i...
