Brooklyn Nets sliced up by Cleveland Cavaliers, lose 112-84

The Brooklyn Nets snuck into the All-Star break in an optimal lottery position and without a crowd of accusers behind them, alleging they’ve compromised the game’s integrity and warped its competitive nature.

Cavs Injury Updates: Multiple key players are ramping up for a return

James Harden shouldn’t need your validation, but still does

James Harden is a walking paradox. The newest Cleveland Cavaliers star is a man who’s inarguably changed how basketball is played — especially by those at the top of the game.
