After three straight wins and the illusion of having finally found their rhythm, the Boston Celtics came crashing back down to earth with a 128-101 home defeat to the Houston Rockets at TD Garden – a night to forget. Joe Mazzulla’s squad never found its footing, overwhelmed by Houston’s energy and physicality for the full…
Golden State stumbles again. After a home defeat to Milwaukee, the Warriors fell once more – this time in Indianapolis, losing 114-109 to the Indiana Pacers and dropping to 4-3 on the season. Against a winless Pacers team missing Tyrese Haliburton, Obi Toppin, T.J. McConnell, and Andrew Nembhard, this loss stings even more than the…
The night in Boston left a mark. Not so much because of the score – a lopsided 128–101 win for the Houston Rockets – but for the feeling that Kevin Durant and his teammates have decided to make themselves heard. After a shaky start to the season, Ime Udoka’s team dominated one of the East’s…
The Hawks star, Trae Young, suffered the injury in the first quarter of Wednesday’s win over the Brooklyn Nets after an accidental collision with teammate Mouhamed Gueye, who was pushed from behind by Nets rookie Noah Clowney and fell onto Young’s leg.

The issue wasn’t just his shooting: Morant looked frustrated, and…
The Malik Beasley case has returned to the spotlight as the NBA continues to grapple with the growing issue of sports betting.

Beasley is reportedly still under…
After the NBA preseason, but before the NBA postseason, and then mixed into the NBA regular season, is the NBA in-season tournament, now known as the NBA Cup. Make sense? For the third consecutive year, the NBA will host the NBA Cup (remember, it was formerly the in-season tournament), where all 30 teams are separated…
Steve Kerr’s squad has started the season strong – four wins in their first five games, all against potential Western Conference playoff rivals: the Lakers, Nuggets, Grizzlies, and James Harden’s Clippers.
