The Blackhawks continue their season-ending homestand on Saturday afternoon at the United Center against the St. Louis Blues.
Since the turn of the new year, the Blues have played better than their first-half disaster suggested, but not nearly well enough to make the turnaround complete and qualify for the playoffs. They tightened up defensively, got steadier goaltending, and generally looked more competent after the new year, including putting together mostly break-even shot metrics like...
Kasperi Kapanen thinks it’s a no-brainer: Connor McDavid should be the Hart Trophy winner. Hard to argue after McDavid’s game on Wednesday, which almost single-handedly elevated the Edmonton Oilers against the San Jose Sharks. The captain scored a hat-trick and added two assists for the 5-2 victory, the 14th five-point game of his career. During…

If there were any doubts that Victor Wembanyama would be hampered in the playoffs due to his rib injury, they were quickly silenced on Friday night. Wembanyama secured a First-team All-NBA spot and the Defensive Player of the Year award in his 65th game, putting up an eye-popping 40 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, and […]
It’s that time of the year. That time of the year when we come up with a thousand possibilities, anxiously think about this and that and the other thing… only for everything to unfold and be resolved by itself in 24 hours. We just can’t help ourselves, can we? That’s why, with just one game […]
#1 – Magnet ball Shooting in basketball carries a big share of variance and luck. Even the greatest shooter of all time, Stephen Curry, is below 50% from beyond the arc on wide-open attempts. This means you’d still have a better chance to win a coin-flip game than to see Curry knock down a three […]
Run the damn ball. It’s a maxim that was finally brought to life in Mike Macdonald’s second year as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. Previous coaches (who need not be named) talked about wanting to establish the run but finally committing to it in practice (rather than solely in theory) aided Seattle’s offense on […]
These are the results to the Hawks Reacts survey posted earlier this week. Just yesterday, the Hawks clinched their 50th playoffs appearance in franchise history after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team will have one final regular season game Sunday against the Heat, but then they will turn their focus to either a series against the New […]
Nikola Vucevic has begun to string together strong performances after his initial struggles coming back from a broken ring finger. While Friday’s game against the Pelicans lacked the intensity of the Celtics’ previous game against the New York Knicks, it was still a useful setting for the veteran center to build rhythm and chemistry with […]
The Houston Rockets defeated the Philadelphia Seventy Sixers 114-104 on Thursday night at Toyota Center in Houston. However, after a near collapse in the fourth quarter, Houston needed offensive production, and they found it from none other than guard Aaron Holiday. In his 14 minutes of action, Aaron Holiday was 3-of-5 and scored seven vital […]
The Dallas Mavericks (25-56) took on the San Antonio Spurs (62-19) Friday night in their penultimate game of the 2025-2026 season, which ended in a 139-120 loss. Dallas rolled in with a lengthy injury list that included the usual suspects this year, along with P.J. Washington, Naji Marshall and Klay Thompson. The game started off […]
Yesterday, the Washington Wizards lost to the Miami Heat, giving them a nine game losing streak. They are 17-64 with one more game left to go. The Indiana Pacers have 19 wins, so that makes them officially … the worst team in the 2025-26 NBA season. That also means that the Wizards are winners with […]
It became obvious early on that this Dallas Mavericks season wouldn’t be about wins and losses. There would be no playoff push, no late game heroics in the postseason. Not even a solid 41-41 season that might give you some hope for the next year. So you start thinking about reasons to watch this team. […]
If he stays he would be trouble (for the opponents). If he goes it might be double (carrying the UNC torch brightly into the NBA). First off: this is not a question about what’s best for Caleb. Everyone has him as a top five pick in the NBA, and I genuinely believe he could rise […]
Cormac Ryan electrified the crowd in the opening minutes of his first-ever start, and AJ Green later brought the house down with an all-time display of marksmanship, leading to an emphatic 125-108 win by the Milwaukee Bucks over the Brooklyn Nets. Read our full summary of the game here and catch a six-minute audio recap […]

On Thursday, April 9th, 2026, the NBA released an official statement regarding a bizarre situation in a recent Sacramento Kings versus Golden State Warriors game. In case you missed it, Sacramento Head Coach Doug Christie instructed his own players to intentionally foul an above average free throw shooter, Seth Curry, despite holding a one-point lead […]
Portland Trail Blazers All-Star Deni Avdija was putting the finishing touches on a dominant 35-point performance Friday night when he raised his right hand high in the air. Twitching his fingers up and down, he motioned the sellout Moda Center crowd to rise to its feet and make noise. Just a few minutes later, Blazers […]
April 12th is the last day of the regular season and then the Spurs have a couple of days off before they begin the first round of the playoffs. What to do, what to do? How about meeting Devin Vassell? On Monday, April 13th, Spurs swingman Devin Vassell will be making a guest appearance at […]
The Wizards lost to the Miami Heat last night but got strong performances from Bilal Coulibaly and Bub Carrington. The final tally was 140-117 — the third time this season the Heat scored 140 or more against the Wizards. The shellacking was Washington’s 28th loss by 20 or more points this season. I might believe […]
This is pretty cool: Krysten Peek got a chance to sit down with future Blue Devils Cameron Williams and Deron Rippey at the Nike Hoop Summit to talk about their decision to play for Duke. Both of them talk positively about playing for Jon Scheyer and his talents on both ends of the court, and […]
The Charlotte Hornets mustered just ten points in the fourth quarter after a competitive first three quarters as they lost to the Detroit Pistons, 118-100.

The post Recap/Analysis: Hornets collapse in fourth quarter and lose to Pistons first appeared on At The Hive .
Neemias Queta’s first season as a full-time starting center for the Boston Celtics has gone according to plan, as teammates have already begun rallying around his campaign for the NBA’s Most Improved Player award. In the third quarter of Friday night’s 144-118 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, he drew the loudest crowd reaction of […]
If the Utah Jazz were fined $500,000 for suspected tanking in a game that they won, Adam Silver had better be aligning the crosshairs of his catastrophic death laser (every NBA commissioner has had one since Larry O’Brien had his commissioned back in ‘83) directly at the Memphis Grizzlies. If Utah’s tanking was worth half […]
