Jordan Walsh’s season has already had two distinct phases. Back in mid-November, he stepped into the starting lineup and stayed there for the next 20 games. The Celtics went 15–5 during that stretch, and his role made sense within what Boston needed at the time. He defended across positions, ran the floor, and kept the […]
The Charlotte Hornets dropped a magical 130 points on the Magic to celebrate Dell Curry night with a win, 130-111. The Summary The Hornets had to withstand some uncharacteristically hot shooting by Orlando to start the game. They fell behind, but LaMelo Ball scored 14 of the Hornets first 18 points to keep pace. The […] The post Recap/Analysis: Hornets beat Magic on Dell Curry night first appeared on At The Hive .

The Flyers closed out their back-to-back tonight in Los Angeles, and despite having to battle through a little bit of fatigue and a whole lot of depletion in their lineup, they were able to deliver a gutsy effort on the way to a shootout win, keeping their desperate push to stay in the playoff race alive.

Not all wins are created equal and Thursday’s was no ordinary victory for the Lakers. There’s a level of seriousness that came with that performance that separates good teams from great teams. Everything about this performance screamed schedule loss. The team had an emotional win in Houston just 24 hours earlier. They then flew from […]
With most of their rotation players out, the Utah Jazz likely expected to drop one to a Bucks team that played the roster meant to convince Giannis Antetokounmpo to stay in Milwaukee. Utah ended up beating the Bucks 128-96. Probably not the best thing for the Bucks to prove to Giannis that he can win […]

A rule intended to keep NBA superstars on the court may be keeping them from voters’ All-NBA and other award ballots. The NBA’s 65-game minimum to be eligible for awards like MVP, All-NBA, and others may keep some of the league’s brightest starts from earning awards. Beyond recognition, those awards are also tied to contract […]
When we were looking back at this part of the schedule a month and a half ago, plenty of folks (the author included) assumed the Portland Trail Blazers would have a good chance to rip through what would be one of the easier schedules in the league. That hasn’t happened. Despite Deni Avdija dealing with […]
For most of the night, it felt like the San Antonio Spurs were stuck in place — running hard, but going nowhere. The ball clanged off the rim more often than it swished through. Possessions grew tense, deliberate. Across the floor, the Phoenix Suns moved with the confidence of a team in control, building a lead that hovered, then […]
Don’t look now, but they’ve won three of their last four! The Sixers blew out the Sacramento Kings 139-118 Thursday night. They are 38-32, a big win given big losses by the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat earlier in the night. Reaching 30 points for the first time since his NBA debut, VJ Edgecombe cruised […]
Ziaire Williams is a generally optimistic guy. Always a smile and positive vibes. Earlier this week, speaking to NetsDaily at a Special Olympics event at the Brooklyn Basketball Training Center, the 24-year-old was asked about the Nets future. “We have something very special brewing here in Brooklyn. A year or two from now we’ll be […]
The good news for the Houston Rockets is that they can now move on to another opponent after getting swept twice at home by the Los Angeles Lakers. The bad news is that their next opponent, the Atlanta Hawks, have won 11 games in a row and look quite mighty these days. And if you’d […]
For the first time in far, far too long, the Blackhawks recorded a regulation victory against the Minnesota Wild, winning 2-1 over their divisional rivals on Thursday night in St. Paul.

The Cleveland Cavaliers held on for a win over the Chicago Bulls. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. James Harden 36 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds, 5 turnovers This was a Harden masterpiece through three quarters. He converted multiple four-point plays and canned seven three-pointers. His heliocentric control of the […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers did what they were supposed to do for three quarters. They dominated a shorthanded and tanking Chicago Bulls team by getting out to a 29-point lead midway through the third quarter. But their lack of focus got the best of them once again. The Cavaliers allowed the Bulls to make this a […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers closed out a win over the Chicago Bulls. Let’s go over today’s winners and losers. WINNER – James Harden and Evan Mobley If you didn’t know any better, you’d think this Cavalier team was built entirely around Harden and Mobley. The two flashed an inherent chemistry tonight, shredding Chicago’s defense and making […]
It was looking like this just wasn’t going to be the Spurs’ night. With a chance to clinch a playoff berth against a possible first round opponent, the Spurs came out flat offensively against the severely-shorthanded Phoenix Suns, and for 43 minutes, it was looking like a lost cause. Then, Victor Wembanyama did what MVP’s […]
A 60-point game from Luka Dončić paired with a triple-double from LeBron James led the Lakers to their eighth straight win on Thursday as they knocked off the Heat in Miami, 134-126. Given the circumstances of it being the second night of a back-to-back and the team not arriving at their hotel until after 5 […]

The Washington Wizards could not keep up with the top-seeded Detroit Pistons on Thursday in a 117-95 defeat at Capital One Arena. The Wizards’ offense looked out of sorts in the first quarter.

A season of struggle only gets worse for Sean Couturier, as he’ll miss tonight’s game against the Kings with an undisclosed upper-body injury, according to Rick Tocchet. The Flyers captain has looked a step slower this season, only producing seven goals and 22 points throughout his 66 games, and being relegated to fourth line duties at five-on-five as of late. However, nothing about his performance against Anaheim on the first night of the Flyers’ west coast back-to-back suggested t...
