It always feels odd to write a preview for a game that has essentially just happened. And yet, just about every season since these home-home mini-series have been instituted, I’ve ended up doing just that. I’m not sure how I manage to do it so consistently.

For nearly three quarters in Chicago on Monday, Victor Wembanyama looked ordinary – well, at least for his extraordinary standards. The 7-foot-5 forward moved carefully, probing but never truly penetrating the Chicago Bulls’ defense.

In another offbeat Spurs video, the team was asked which mode of travel they’d utilize to go fromSan Antonio to Austin if a car was not an option. Horse seems to be the go-to answer. But helicopter makes a lot of sense. Loved that Luke Kornet was thinking of building a canoe and using a […]

The ongoing feat is enough to elevate him third all time behind Dikembe Mutombo’s 116 straight games and Patrick Ewing’s top seeded 145-game streak. Both of the big men hit these all time highs over three decades ago, […]
