Two short-handed teams on the second night of a back-to-back collided in the Spurs’ home opener of 2026, but unfortunately, the more shorthanded Portland Trail Blazers prevailed. After a slow first quarter, the Spurs found themselves down by 15 points a couple of times in the second before finally fighting back and even taking the […]
The Seattle Seahawks are NFC West champions after a superb defensive display against the San Francisco 49ers, holding them to just a field goal and 173 yards of total offense in their own building. For the Seahawks, the hope is that it’s the first of two trips to Santa Clara, with the second coming in […]
Chicago couldn’t hang on to a third-period lead but picked up a second point via the shootout, defeating the Capitals 3-2 in Washington on Saturday night. Chicago took an early 1-0 lead just 73 seconds into the game when Ryan Donato was left all alone in front of the Washington net to tip home a point shot from Ilya Mikheyev: GOAL: Ryan Donato tips in Ilya Mikheyev's shot to open the scoring! pic.twitter.com/NXG5FLuGiD — BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) January 4, 2026 About 3:30 la...
The Dallas Mavericks (12-23) entered Saturday night’s game against the Houston Rockets (21-11) on a four-game losing streak, but found a way to get a second-straight big win over their rival to the South, 110-104. The game got off to a painfully slow start, with Rockets center Alperen Sengun rolling his ankle a minute in, […]
The Seattle Seahawks made the loudest possible statement with their NFC West title win over the San Francisco 49ers. While the offense may have played much better than the 13 points suggested, the defense was every bit as dominant as the 3 points allowed indicated. For context: Seattle had 180 yards rushing and the 49ers […]

The Portland Trail Blazers snatched their second win in two days, holding off the San Antonio Spurs 115-110 in crunch time on Saturday night. Even with superstar Victor Wembanyama out with a knee injury, these Spurs are no slouches — evidenced by how they handled the Blazers without Wembanyama back in November. Portland, still shorthanded […]
Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. exited their 10-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first half with what the team described of a right ankle sprain. Jaquez played just 10 minutes before rolling his ankle while trying to defend Timberwolves big Julius Randle. After the game, head coach Erik Spoelstra provided a brief […] The post Erik Spoelstra provides injury update on Jaime Jaquez Jr. appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The San Francisco 49ers’ defense didn’t put up much of a fight on the first drive. The Seattle Seahawks picked up nine yards on the second play from scrimmage, then 20 yards on the third play. After getting Seattle into a 3rd & 4 situation, Sam Darnold had enough time to work to his fourth […]
For the second time this season, the New York Knicks (23*-12) have lost three straight games. It’s too early to panic, but measured concern is completely acceptable. In tonight’s first quarter, the Knicks leaned on Jalen Brunson, while the Philadelphia 76ers (19-14) answered with Tyrese Maxey’s unfettered scoring and Joel Embiid’s interior play to take […]
The Seattle Seahawks held all the cards and their path to the one seed in the NFC was there for the taking and they took it. With their win on Saturday, they get a first-round bye and every opponent they face on the path to the Super Bowl will have to hear the 12th man […]
The Spurs’ first home game of 2026 was a failure because of an inability to guard the 3-point line and contain the glass. It was the fifth game dropped at Frost Bank Center this season, making their home record the same as on the road (12-5). Luke Kornet had a hot stretch for four minutes, […]
The Atlanta Hawks put together one of their most competitive road efforts of the season. Still, they couldn’t sustain enough defensive stops or rebounding edge in a 134–117 loss to the Toronto Raptors Saturday night at Scotiabank Arena. Atlanta overcame early sluggishness with a balanced offensive attack and hot perimeter shooting, yet Toronto’s relentless scoring […]
It’s a new year, and many people are contemplating their goals and resolutions for 2026 — the Toronto Raptors are not exempt. Ahead of their match-up against the Atlanta Hawks, the first of a two-game series between these two teams, Raptors’ coach Darko Rajakovic talked about setting good habits. Using the word ‘habits’ is another […]
Holly Holm attempted to win her first boxing world title in over a decade tonight, and came up short, losing to WBA lightweight champ Stephanie Han by technical decision. The bout was stopped in the seventh round due to Han (12-0, 3 KO) suffering a cut on an accidental clash of heads. The cut maybe […]
The Philadelphia Flyers made one final trade in 2025, sending defenseman Egor Zamula to the Pittsburgh Penguins for forward Philip Tomasino . Tomasino reported to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in the AHL and made his debut on Saturday night in Belleville. However, while Tomasino was hitting the ice for the first time with his new team, Zamula was suspended by the Penguins, according to the AHL’s transaction log .

Is anyone having a happier New Year than this offense? The Sixers won their third in a row and beat the New York Knicks for the second time in a row, knocking them off 130-119 Saturday. The backcourt dazzled in MSG again. Tyrese Maxey lead all scorers with 36 points, shooting 14-of-22 from the field. […]
The Seattle Seahawks are dominating the San Francisco 49ers through the first 30 minutes, something we’ve rarely said in recent seasons. It’s only 10-3 at the break. The Seahawks wasted an opening drive with a bad Sam Darnold sack on what should’ve been an easy touchdown to Zach Charbonnet, subsequently failing to convert on 4th […]
According to Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated, starting quarterback Jordan Love will be active on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are still trying to go more than a week without one of their core players being sidelined. Sadly, they’ll have to try again after Jarrett Allen was listed as questionable with an illness before Sunday’s afternoon game against the Detroit Pistons.
