Previously 23-1 (and 11-0 in the SEC) Tennessee traveled to Rupp Arena on Saturday night to face the Kentucky Wildcats, and the Volunteers did not get the warmest of greetings. For the #5 Wildcats, this was a chance to show why they deserved to be a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. What better way…
The 2019 All-Star Game weekend has officially kicked off as of Friday night with the Rising Stars Challenge between the USA and the World. And for the first time in two years, the Americans were able to figure out a way to win, winning 161-144 in a game that featured little to no defense. They…
Russell Westbrook continued his streak of triple-doubles on Thursday night against the New Orleans Pelicans in a 131-122 loss, yet the Oklahoma City Thunder star is still looking for ways to improve. Westbrook scored 44 points, collected 14 rebounds, and he had 11 assists against the Pelicans in the loss, enough to break Wilt Chamberlain’s…
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. The game remained close through the majority of it, with the last eight…
It might sound very odd to hear that a number two ranked team ‘upset’ a number 16 team, but that is exactly what ended up taking place on Tuesday night. Playing on the road and looking sluggish, the Duke Blue Devils found themselves behind by as many as 23 points to the Louisville Cardinals, but…
The last minute of the Toronto Raptors’ game against the Brooklyn Nets might as well be Kawhi Leonard’s last minute, such was the level of dominance that he exuded.

The Philadelphia 76ers continued to showcase their talent on Sunday afternoon against the Los Angeles Lakers with as dominant a performance as you will see. Their new-look starting five is already paying off, with Tobias Harris contributing big time so far as he helped them to a 143-120 win in Philly. The Sixers were made…
The Boston Celtics had a huge lead on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Clippers at home. They led by as much as 28 points as they pulled away from the Clippers only to see them come roaring back after star point guard Kyrie Irving went down with what is being called a sprained knee.…
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…
The draft for the NBA All-Star Game took place last night with LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo selecting their squads, and even the most novice and least skeptical fans will have noticed a trend of sorts with the teams. The latter went with the more unsung heroes in general, selecting Joel Embiid, Paul George, Kemba…
