Jamal Murray leads way for Nuggets in his return to playoffs

Jamal Murray had to sit and watch from the sideline for the Denver Nuggets’ past two postseason appearances. So when he finally got back on the court for a Denver playoff match Sunday night, emotions were running a little high. “I haven’t felt that much excitement in a minute, probably since the beginning of the season,” Murray said. It was Murray’s first playoff game since Sept. 26, 2020, which came in the NBA bubble, and his first playoff game at home since May 12, 2019 — back when Ball Arena was still called the Pepsi Center. After missing his first five shots […]

Thunder oust Pelicans in play-in, to face Wolves for 8-seed

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had been here before. The Oklahoma City Thunder guard had been in big situations and the playoffs before and had a poise about him Wednesday night when his team traveled to New Orleans as the No. 10 seed to take on the Pelicans. “When your leader is not flustered and under control out there, it’s a spiral effect,” Thunder guard Josh Giddey said. “Guys see that and feed off it.” After one of his worst first halves of the season statistically, Gilgeous-Alexander had 25 second-half points and led the Thunder to a 123-118 victory to let Oklahoma City to play for the No. 8 seed in […]

Curry scores 39, Warriors rally from 20 down, beat Pelicans

Draymond Green yelled at the other bench, his own team and even his coach, and this time those intense emotions absolutely made the difference. Steve Kerr loved it.“We need his fire,” Golden State’s coach stated.“It was perfect, right, perfectly executed,” Green said with a grin. Stephen Curry had 39 points with eight 3-pointers, eight rebounds and eight assists, Jordan Poole added 21 points with consecutive layups that gave Golden State the lead early in the fourth quarter, and the Warriors rallied past the New Orleans Pelicans 120-109 on Tuesday night in a testy, playoff-like matchup in late March. Klay Thompson scored 17 and hit five 3s […]

Warriors beat Suns 123-112 for 8th straight home victory

The Golden State Warriors were tired of losing to the division-rival Suns this season and set their mind on defending versus Phoenix just as they did against the talented Bucks last game. Klay Thompson scored 33 of his 38 points in the first half, Stephen Curry added 23 points, seven rebounds and five assists, and the Warriors defeated the Suns 123-112 on Monday night. “There’s always a little bit of extra motivation when you got smacked a couple times against a certain team but it’s more so about our own focus,” Curry said. Thompson made eight 3-pointers and shot 14 of 23 overall. “We knew […]

Pau Gasol becomes 12th Lakers player to have jersey retired

Pau Gasol, the perfect complementary player to Kobe Bryant, was paid the best compliment possible by his former team: The Lakers retired his jersey. “I mean life goes by pretty fast, right? In the blink of an eye, you can be a kid playing basketball in your school with your buddies, then all of a sudden, you’re realizing your dream,” Gasol said before the Lakers’ 112-103 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night. “But tonight, it really exceeds any dream or expectation that I’ve had because it means so much. And obviously with Kobe up there, it just adds something meaningful and powerful, and sad […]

76ers rally to win 133-130, snap Bucks’ 16-game streak

Nothing could faze the Philadelphia 76ers. Not the loss of two starters. Not an 18-point deficit late in the third quarter. Not even the fact they were facing the NBA’s hottest team on the road. Joel Embiid made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 41.4 seconds left and the 76ers rallied to defeat Milwaukee 133-130 on Saturday night, snapping the Bucks’ 16-game winning streak. “You find something that works and you try to stick with it,” said James Harden, who had 38 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds. “We found something late, in that fourth quarter, and we just stuck with it. We got some […]

Kevin Durant, back from injury, scores 23 in winning Suns debut

It was here during All-Star Weekend 2019 that Kevin Durant solidified his decision to partner with Kyrie Irving when both became free agents the following summer. Four years later, a new partnership was unveiled in the same arena, this one with hope for a better outcome. Playing for the first time as a member of the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night, Durant showed early signs of the potentially devastating one-two punch he can form with Devin Booker in a 105-91 win to snap the Charlotte Hornets’ five-game win streak. Durant scored 23 points in 27 minutes, his jumper looking rust-free after being out since Jan. 8 while recovering from a right […]

Bulls’ Patrick Beverley wants to knock Lakers out of playoffs

New Bulls guard Patrick Beverley already has a pair of games circled on his calendar for his new team — and both are versus the Los Angeles Lakers, his former squad. While discussing his addition to the Bulls during “The Pat Bev Podcast” on Tuesday, Beverley made note that Chicago still has two games left against the Lakers, for whom he started 45 games this season. Those games could be critical in the push for the playoffs, and Beverley made his intentions for those matchups clear. “Knock them out the playoffs,” Beverley said on his podcast. The Lakers traded Beverley to the Orlando Magic ahead of the Feb. 9 trade deadline, […]
