Lakers use balanced attack to smother Heat

For the first time this season, the Lakers did not get a 40-point performance.

San Antonio vs. Phoenix, Final Score: Spurs suffer embarrassing first loss of season, 118-130

Phoenix swarmed the Spurs from the onset, particularly Victor Wembanyama (9 point, 9 rebounds, and 4 blocks), and forced them well out of their comfort zone to win comfortably. On a night when Phoenix celebrated ‘Day of the Dead,’ their shooting came alive, and San Antonio’s offensive execution resembled a disjointed skeleton. The Suns blitzed […]

Sixers Torch Nets as concern grows about effort from NBA’s youngest team
