Beating the Lakers is never just another win, especially when the season calls for urgency and consistency. The Los Angeles Clippers know that well, and Thursday night’s 112-104 result tells more than the final score suggests. A game controlled for long stretches, then suddenly complicated, but still closed out. And that’s exactly the detail that…
A bittersweet night for Jonathan Kuminga on the road in Dallas. The Golden State Warriors forward left the floor in the second quarter of the 123-115 loss to the Mavericks after suffering a sprained left ankle and a hyperextension of his left knee. The injury came at a delicate moment, both for the Warriors’ season…
The spark was needed – and the New York Knicks found it in the loudest way possible. After more than a week without a win and four straight losses, Mike Brown’s team crushed the Brooklyn Nets 120-66, the largest victory margin in 80 years of franchise history. A game that was over by halftime, but…

When it comes to the Lakers, the line between the court and the front office is always thin. And the latest rumor involving LeBron James and Jeanie Buss proves that once again.

The injury to Jimmy Butler during the home game against the Miami Heat has upended the Golden State Warriors’ plans for the current season.
