Hours before Valentine’s Day, you’d expect love to be in the air, but there was little of that present on Wednesday night when the Portland Trail Blazers overcame the Golden State Warriors 120-107 in what can only be called a chippy affair.

Davis Booed At Home While Scoring 32, Harris Debuts with Sixers, Fields Clear To Play
Anthony Davis’ Friday night was an extremely interesting one to say the least. With his, for now, Pelicans playing at home in New Orleans to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Davis found himself booed for the first time in what is sure to be a few months’ worth of it. Davis was booed as soon as he…
NBA All-Stars Teams Picked, Trade Deadline Wraps Up, Westbrook Passes MJ
