Eventually, the Lakers will lose a basketball game again this season. But for however long their win streak goes, they’ll be hard-pressed to have a more improbable win than Saturday’s.

Liverpool’s season has been a trial.

It’s hard to overlook the extremely meteoric […]
The NFL Draft is still a little over a month away, but for the Minnesota Vikings a lot is riding on this draft. Vikings president and co-owner Mark Wilf made that clear in his statement following the release of general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah at the end of January, and he’s right. Between the Vikings salary […]
Philly has been stuck between a rock and a hard place during March. Maxey will miss at least three weeks due to a finger tendon injury. Embiid has statistically missed more games than he has played. Paul George was suspended for 25 games after violating the league’s anti-drug policy — I don’t know how he didn’t see […]

It wasn’t the prettiest game, but the Cleveland Cavaliers did enough in the fourth quarter to erase a 15-point deficit to defeat the New Orleans Pelicans 111-106. The Cavs found themselves down by double figures late, mostly due to their offense stalling out in the second and third quarters. Donovan Mitchell going 2-9 from the […]
Luka Dončić is one of the premier trash talkers in the NBA, whether it’s with players on the court or fans in the stands. However, things may have crossed a line on Saturday. During the third quarter of the Lakers’ game against the Magic, Luka and Orlando center Goga Bitadze had a back-and-forth that clearly […]
Despite not always looking their best, the Spurs rode a huge talent advantage into a wire-to-wire 134-119 blowout win against the Pacers.
