Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown was impressed by the No. 9 seed Charlotte Hornets after Tuesday night’s matchup at TD Garden.

LOS ANGELES – The last time the Lakers played at home, they were on cloud nine. They took down an Eastern Conference contender in the Cavaliers, which concluded an elite month of March basketball where they won 15 of 17 games.

However, he will likely miss the Spurs’ […]
I’ll ask for your understanding with another recap that is getting started at about 2am where I am. That’s fairly late by almost any standard, even Rockets fandom. Still, here I am, and here it is.

As a result, they […] The post Heat officially lock themselves into play-in, again appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The final score of Tuesday’s game was both a reflection of the chasm in talent between the Lakers and Thunder but also not entirely indicative of the effort LA gave to start the game either. For the opening 18 minutes, the hosts held their own on the back of effort and energy plays on both […]
BOSTON — For more than two weeks, Jordan Walsh didn’t lace up. The 22-year-old, who had, at one point, started 20 straight games for the Celtics, had completely fallen out of the rotation. Still, Walsh kept an even-keeled mindset and perspective throughout that adversity. “I’m still okay with where I’m at because Year 1, I […]

In a game the Utah Jazz had to lose, they got the job done in a big way against the New Orleans Pelicans, losing 156-137. Defense was absolutely optional in this one, but it was exceptionally bad for the Utah Jazz, who somehow gave up 156 points. But this is not something to be shamed […]
