The Bucks fell flat in their season finale, suffering a double-digit blowout against the Philadelphia 76ers. Seeking to play spoiler against a Sixers team fighting for the six seed, the Bucks started strong in the first half. However, their high-volume shooting betrayed them in the second half as Tyrese Maxey (21 points) caught fire from […]
The Atlanta Hawks were in action on Sunday to face the Miami Heat for the final regular-season game. With the Hawks clinching a playoff spot, there wasn’t much for the Hawks to play for in this game unless they cared about being either the No. 5 or No. 6 seed. If the Hawks win, they’re […]
That’s a wrap. The Cleveland Cavaliers ended the 2025-26 regular season with a win over the Washington Wizards. Let’s get to the grades. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. Jaylon Tyson 18 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists Tyson looked like the kid who decided to show up on Senior Skip […]
It’s not exactly a 2008 Eagles scenario, but it looks like the Sixers might get some standings help in Game 82. Philadelphia wrapped up the 2025-26 regular season with a 126-10 win over the Milwaukee Bucks Sunday evening. They finish the season at 45-37 and will end as the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference […]
Before the Edmonton Oilers’ matchup against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday, holding, interference, and obstruction were temporarily suspended from the rulebook. I kid (sort of), but the 1-0 loss to the Kings was not a well-played, structured and skill-based type of shutout. It was a sludgefest, with few whistles and just a handful of…

The Dallas Mavericks (25-56) play their final game of the 2025-26 season at home on Sunday, facing off against the Chicago Bulls (31-50). Dallas got thumped by the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, but at least we were treated to a Wemby-Flagg dual. The Bulls are locked into their lottery odds and are sort of […]

The Utah Jazz will take on the Los Angeles Lakers in what is more than just the season finale. It feels more like the finale to four years of rebuild. Tonight will be the last time the Utah Jazz will go into a game for the foreseeable future with hopes of losing. This offseason will […]
The Knicks (53*-28) close their regular season Sunday night at Madison Square Garden against the Hornets (43-38), with New York locked into the East’s No. 3 seed and Charlotte still battling for home-court advantage in the Play-In.

The End… almost. Final game of the year and the Nets already secured a bottom-3 position. The stress of the people rooting for losses — and those rooting for wins — is no more. The attention, after this bout with Toronto, can officially shift to May 10. It’s still a lottery but the odds are […]
The Atlanta Hawks (46-35) travel to South Beach for a glorified exhibition game against the Miami Heat (42-39). They can secure the fifth seed with either a win or an Orlando Magic win over the Boston Celtics today and that would mean a series with the Cavaliers. Otherwise, they’ll be the sixth seed and face […]
Tyson Fury wanted to make a big show out of challenging Anthony Joshua to a fight yesterday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, following Fury’s predicable comeback win over Arslanbek Makhmudov. Joshua didn’t really oblige. When asked/commanded by Fury and Turki Alalshikh to come into the ring for Fury’s challenge, Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn instead stayed […]

What do the Lakers want? That’s not a question I like asking, but as the final day of the NBA 2025-26 regular season gets underway, it’s a question we must ask. Here are the playoff scenarios, and what might happen. First: The Nuggets have a record of 53-28. The Lakers have a record of 52-29. […]
Though the Edmonton Oilers lost 1-0 on Saturday to the Los Angeles Kings, the Philadelphia Flyers’ victory over the Winnipeg Jets means that the Oilers have officially clinched a spot in the 2026 NHL playoffs. There are just two games remaining in the regular-season, and less than a week until the post-season begins. Without further…

On April 10th in 1982, the Los Angeles Kings completed the largest single game comeback in Stanley Cup playoff history in Game 3 of the Smythe Division Semifinal beating the heavily favored Edmonton Oilers 6-5.

On April 5th in 2011, Chicago Blackhawks benched backup goaltender Marty Turco allegedly wagered with a Montreal Canadiens season ticket holder named Robert during a match at the Bell Center after a second period goal by forward Michael Cammalleri put Montreal ahead 1-0. According to Robert's retelling on the sports radio station Team 990, the bet began with a friendly $5 wager that Chicago
