For their signature win of the season, the San Antonio Spurs needed every player that stepped on the court in their big win over the Oklahoma Thunder. Devin Vassell lead the team with 23 points while De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Victor Wembanyama each scored 22 points. If anyone was sleeping on the Spurs, they […]
The unofficial start of trade season is upon us. Starting Monday morning, all but 17 of the NBA’s 540 players will be eligible to be dealt. The 82 players signed in the earlier part of the summer will be added to the pool of players GMs can move around the board. (The remaining 17 free […]
On Saturday, the North Carolina Tar Heels’ men’s basketball team handled business against USC Upstate. While the game was still somewhat close late into the first half, Carolina went on a run to end the half and then turned things on to pull away in the second. Now, the Tar Heels are set to play […]
June 22, 1994. That’s the last time the New York Knicks played a game with a trophy at stake and the eyes of the league upon them. Until two days from now. In defeating the Orlando Magic 132-120 in last night’s invitation-only (in more ways than one) NBA Cup semifinal, the Knicks advanced to Tuesday’s […]

Anyone with eyeballs and a pulse will testify that Saturday’s Emirates Cup semifinals between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder was one of the top games of the season. The fourth quarter alone had six lead changes, and if one didn’t know any better, they might think they witnessed a playoff game. The […]
The Knicks’ upcoming week opens with Tuesday night’s Emirates NBA Cup Final in Las Vegas. It’s a shot at a shiny new trophy, history, and bragging rights. What follows may prove even more challenging, however. After the celebration (or disappointment) comes a quick turnaround, with a road trip to Indiana and a Friday night return […]
BOSTON — A month ago, Jordan Walsh’s name was little-discussed at the national level. The 21-year-old Celtics forward was buried on the bench, a former second-round pick who seemed at risk of never breaking through in the NBA. But a month of spectacular basketball on both ends of the floor has changed everything for Walsh. […]
There was a time not so long ago where a Joel Embiid 39-point performance wouldn’t have moved the needle. There were nights when the former MVP got that done in three quarters. The 39 points Embiid poured in Friday night in a 115-105 win over the Indiana Pacers felt a little different. First off, it […]
In Sam Hauser’s fifth year as a Boston Celtic, only Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Payton Pritchard have been with the team longer. He’s been an exceptional complementary piece and played a key role in Boston’s championship run. Hauser has typically found ways to expand his game, but on this new-look roster, he’s stagnated — […]
In their second matchup in three days against the Capital City Go-Go at CareFirst Arena, the Maine Celtics, much like their NBA counterpart, saw a win streak taken down on Friday afternoon in a 103-70 thumping. Maine, down two-way players Amari Williams (right hand hairline fracture) and Ron Harper Jr. (right knee sprain), saw a […]
In case you missed the early morning news, the Arizona Diamondbacks have pulled off the rare “trade away your player and re-sign him in the offseason” move with Merrill Kelly. Let’s start there today. When the Diamondbacks traded Kelly to the Rangers this July, they landed Kohl Drake (#6 prospect in the D-Backs system), Mitch Bratt (#9), and David Hagaman (#15), a tidy sum for a 36-year-old rental starter. And now they get him back, albeit at a very substantial $20M per year for tw...
The Knicks punched their ticket to the NBA Cup title game on Saturday night, coming out on top in a back-and-forth affair with the Orlando Magic in Las Vegas. Not only did that game improve the team’s real record to 18-7 and allow them to play for the questionably important NBA Cup on Tuesday against […]
A good showing but not enough to bring it home. The Brooklyn Nets went to Texas for a showdown with the Dallas Mavericks. Brooklyn had a chance to win late, but the Mavs did just enough to hand the Nets a tough loss. The opponent tonight is trying to hang on. The season hasn’t gone […]
It may not have been against the toughest opponent, but the Sixers returned from their extra time off with a comfortable 115-105 win against the Pacers. As they played without Tyrese Maxey for the first time this season, it was a solid performance led by what was Joel Embiid’s best game of the season by […]
Coming off one of their best performances of the season—a 116-101 win over the red-hot Boston Celtics—the Milwaukee Bucks will look to win two in a row for just the third time this season when they play the Brooklyn Nets tonight at Barclays Center. Despite a record of just 6-18 on the season and a […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers recently scraped by with a narrow win over the Washington Wizards. They’ll hopefully look sharper against the Charlotte Hornets today. Let’s look at three things to watch. Hornets Struggles The Wizards are categorically the worst team in basketball. But the Hornets aren’t too far behind. Even with fun prospects such as LaMelo […]
Jalen Brunson scored a season-high 40 points as the Knicks beat the Magic 132–120 in the NBA Cup semifinal, advancing to the tournament final behind a highly efficient, determined performance. New York separated in the second half by consistently winning the interior and making shots, finishing the night at 61% from the floor. If this […]
Good morning, it’s Sunday, December 14. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 15-11 and host the Charlotte Hornets today at 3:30. Let’s look ahead at today’s slate of games. Today’s game of the day There has been some West Coast bias here recently. But hey, they’ve given us the best games lately. The Lakers (17-7) are on […]
The San Antonio Spurs had overcome some large obstacles to land themselves in the NBA Emirates Cup Finals next Tuesday. First they took Western Conference C, dubbed the “Group of Death” which consisted of the Spurs, Houston Rockets, Denver Nuggets, Portland Trail Blazers, and Golden State Warriors. Nuggets and Rockets are currently third and fourth […]
Before injuries devastated his career and Grant Hill earned respect for working through things that would have forced most normal people to give up, he was one of the greatest talents the game has ever seen. When he was still with the Detroit Pistons, Hill was widely seen as the eventual successor to Michael Jordan’s […]
What: Charlotte Hornets (7-18) at Cleveland Cavaliers (15-11) When: 3:30pm Eastern Where: Rocket Arena; Cleveland, OH How to watch: FanDuel Sports Network, NBA League Pass Game Lines: Hornets +10.5, Hornets money line +390, O/U 234.5 Last year, this wouldn’t have been a fair fight. It probably isn’t one this year either, but the teams are […] The post Charlotte Hornets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Preview: Game 26 first appeared on At The Hive .
A pair of pep talks propelled Brayden Burries’ best scoring night of his career in Arizona’s dominant win over Alabama. The first came before tip-off, when Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd spoke with the freshman guard one-on-one. “Before the game, he talked to me and was like, ‘It’s gonna be a big one tonight, and I […]
Real Madrid visit Alavés in what’s going to be a crucial game for Los Blancos. Xabi Alonso have had a disastrous run of results as of late and the coach’s job is on the line here. Furthermore, Real Madrid will only have three defenders available for this one, so all things suggest that this will […]
