For much of the fourth quarter, it looked like the Wizards were going to secure their second win of the season. When they were up 10 with five minutes on the clock, I thought of what I thought could be a clever lead to this article, which may now never see the light of day […]
When Jordan Walsh joined the Celtics as pick #38 in the 2023 NBA Draft and he was more idea than player. As a 19-year-old prospect with selling points of length, athleticism and motor, he was your textbook example of a project prospect. Since then, the flashes have been as exciting as they’ve been rare. There […]
All of Duke’s NBA rookies were in action Monday night except for one and Cooper Flagg had perhaps his best game yet. Flagg hit for 26 points, shooting 9-15/1-5 for 60%. He also had four assists, two steals and a block in a 116-114 loss to Milwaukee. Meanwhile, in Charlotte, Kon Knueppel continued his strong […]
The Atlanta Hawks overcame a 17-point deficit behind an unexpected hero Monday night, as Vit Krejci erupted for a career-high 28 points to lift the Hawks to a thrilling 105–102 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers at Intuit Dome. The win marked Atlanta’s second straight, as they have gone 5-2 in their last seven games. […]
Things have been quiet for over a week on the Adrian Kempe extension front, as he and the Los Angeles Kings remained far apart in talks, and there was nothing new to report except speculation. Now, insider David Pagnotta has signaled a significant change, as he says that negotiations have resumed. They paused talks in October and they thought they were going to resume by the end of the month but they hadn’t. But I checked in a couple of days ago and it sounds like they’ve resumed those d...
The old ABA was a gloriously flawed league. On the one hand, it had to distinguish itself from the stodgier NBA, which it did with things like the three point shot, flashier offenses and the trim-colored basketball. On the other, it lacked stable finances, including TV coverage. And ultimately, even with players like Julius Erving, […]
This past offseason, forward Dorian Finney-Smith agreed to a four-year, $53 million contract with the Houston Rockets. The first two seasons of the contract are completely guaranteed; the third and fourth years are not, and there is a player option in the fourth year. The addition of a valuable three-and-D wing to the Rockets’ lineup […]
“What’s our offensive philosophy? Create two-on-ones.” Joe Mazzulla said. His voice rose as he pounded the table for emphasis. “Find the two-on-one, make the right play against the two-on-one. For as long as I’m here, that’s going to be our offensive philosophy.” It was a moment that captured the fiery precision of Boston’s head coach […]
Kon Knueppel finished an assist shy of a triple double, but sloppy play caused the Charlotte Hornets to lose to the Los Angeles Lakers. The summary A track meet broke out to start the game. Both teams poured in points right out of the gate. It was the usual suspects for both teams. Miles Bridges […] The post Recap/Analysis: Turnovers doom Hornets in loss to Laker first appeared on At The Hive .

The Cleveland Cavaliers snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Hey, at least this isn’t something they do very often. LOSER – Defending for 0.4 seconds Let’s get this out of the way. The Cavs somehow, after playing a game in which they had no business winning, found themselves on the verge of forcing a […]
The NBA just wrapped up its craziest night yet of the regular season. Both the Heat and Magic walked away victorious thanks to a spectacular buzzer-beating play. The first of the night came in Orlando, where Desmond Bane had his first signature moment as part of the Magic organization. Tied with the Portland Trail Blazers at 112 apiece with 1.9 seconds left, he ran toward Franz Wagner to retrieve the inbound. Despite having All-Defensive Team forward Toumani Camara draped all over him, Ba...
Svi Mykhailiuk | D+ Will Hardy’s favorite player struggled to hit shots in this one. He also didn’t defend particularly well, as evidenced by his team-worst -17. I don’t normally put too much credence into +/-, but when all of Jazz media points to it when it’s good, you have to also admit when it’s […]
The Dallas Mavericks were sporting their beautiful Hardwood Classic green jerseys when they welcomed the Milwaukee Bucks to the American Airlines Center Monday night. Languishing as the 14 Seed in the West, Dallas was looking to improve on their 3-7 record but could not get the job done as they fell 116-114. Let’s get to […]
Following two hard-fought victories, the Spurs extended their win streak to three games following an up and down performance against Chicago Monday night. San Antonio shot out of a cannon to start the game. De’Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes made back to back open threes that were generated by Wemby’s gravity, and Chicago had a […]
The Jazz returned to the friendly confines of the Delta Center, playing host to the Minnesota Timberwolves, who thoroughly dispatched them their last meeting, 137-97. This one was more competitive, with the Jazz even holding a small halftime lead. However, in the third quarter the Jazz were reminiscent of J.R.R. Tolkien’s ancient dwarves of Khazad-dûm—they […]
After knowing right away that the Lakers weren’t going to win on Saturday against Atlanta, the opening minutes of Monday’s game against the Hornets were going to be notable. While it wasn’t a “blow you away” type of performance from LA, it was a far more serious approach. Impressively — and improbably — it was […]
Monday night was never going to be Friday night. At least by no reasonable expectation. After a 40 point evisceration of the Utah Jazz at Target Center on Friday night, the Wolves this time were in Salt Lake City to take on Utah for the second time in four days. Ironically, the game started out […]
You can’t beat many magicians if you let them pick all the tricks to be played, a maxim the Portland Trailblazers verified against the Orlando Magic in NBA action tonight. Orlando turned out to have more than enough tricks at hand to prevail, scratching out a 115-112 win thanks to a buzzer-beating three by Blazers […]
Dallas Mavericks (3-8) found yet another way to pull defeat from the jaws of victory on Monday night in their 116-113 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks (7-4) at American Airlines Center. The Bucks came into Dallas in a vulnerable spot, on the second night of a back-to-back set in a game in which Giannis Antetokounmpo […]
Well, in a game that absolutely nobody wants to remember, the Bucks eked out a win against the Dallas Mavericks in a game that had no right being that close. Giannis and Kyle Kuzma led the charge in the scoring column, combining for 56 points. Dallas was led by Cooper Flagg, who dropped 26 points, […]
Looking to push their win streak to 3, the Spurs got out to a fast start, building a double digit lead early in the game and making it look easy. The way Chicago has started this year though that wasn’t likely to last, and in the 2nd quarter the Bulls were able to settle down, […]
The New York Knicks (6-3) will look to continue a four-game winning run when hosting the Memphis Grizzlies (4-7) on Tuesday, November 11, 2025 at Madison Square Garden. It airs at 7:30 p.m. ET on FDSSE and MSG. The Knicks enter this matchup after a 134-98 win against the Nets on Sunday.

Jaren Jackson Jr.’s team-high 17 po...
