Nearing age 38, LeBron James says top priority is ‘to win’

Back in the arena where he played arguably the best basketball of his career, LeBron James was asked to look to the future rather than back into the past and share how much longer he plans to play in the NBA. “I don’t have a number,” James stated Wednesday after the Los Angeles Lakers’ 112-98 loss to his former team, the Miami Heat, when asked how many more seasons he has left. “I know as long as my mind stays in it, I can play at this level for a minute. Now, that’s up to my mind. My body is going to be OK because if […]

Luka Doncic has 60-21-10 triple-double to rally Mavs to OT win

Luka Doncic intentionally missed a free throw, came up with the loose ball and flipped it into the basket while falling down with one second left in regulation. After a quick roll, he hopped back onto his feet and did an impromptu dance to celebrate while frantically waving his hands up and down. When the buzzer sounded a second later, Doncic kept his celebration, putting his fists in the air and bouncing up and down while prancing up the sideline, soaking in the adulation from the American Airlines Center sellout crowd that was worked into a frenzy by the superstar’s historically […]

Nikola Jokic had 13 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists for his second consecutive triple-double to lead the Denver Nuggets over the Memphis Grizzlies 105-91 on Tuesday night in a matchup between the top two teams in the Western Conference.

Ja Morant had 25 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and the Memphis Grizzlies pounded the Milwaukee Bucks 142-101 on Thursday night. Dillon Brooks added 18 points and Tyus Jones had 16 as eight Grizzlies scored in double figures. Memphis led from start to finish in its seventh consecutive win.

If you scout us, you’ve got […]

Kawhi Leonard leads Clippers over Celtics in best game since injury

Kawhi Leonard looked and played the best he has since tearing his right ACL, and the LA Clippers enjoyed their best victory of the season. Leonard made 10 of 12 shots, including two 3-pointers, and had 25 points, nine rebounds and six assists to lead the Clippers to a resounding 113-93 triumph over the Boston Celtics on Monday night at Crypto.com Arena. Even though this was easily Leonard’s best game since tearing his right ACL in Game 4 of the Clippers’ second-round playoff series against the Utah Jazz on June 14, 2021, the former two-time Finals MVP said he’s more concerned with how well he plays in […]

Warriors left stunned after blowing lead in final seconds in Utah

The Golden State Warriors held a four-point lead over the Utah Jazz with 13.3 seconds let in the game. They had clawed their way back after trailing by 12 in the third quarter and did so without Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins. But what happened over those next 13 seconds left the Warriors scratching their heads following a 124-123 loss at Vivint Arena. “In my experience, there’s one game like this every year where you leave the building saying, ‘What just happened?'” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “You make mistakes down the stretch and you leave the arena just shaking your head, thinking, ‘How did we just let […]

Doncic, Mavs edge Curry, Warriors in West finals replay

Tim Hardaway Jr. had to watch when his Dallas Mavericks lost to the Golden State Warriors in last season’s Western Conference finals. He found himself in the middle of some playoff intensity in their first meeting this season. Hardaway hit a go-ahead 3-pointer late, Luka Doncic scored 41 points in his NBA-leading fifth triple-double and the Mavericks held off the Warriors 116-113 on Tuesday night. Dallas ended a four-game losing streak, the longest in two seasons under coach Jason Kidd. Golden State, a winner in five matches last spring on the way to the title, lost for just the second time in seven games after […]

Clippers rule out Kawhi Leonard (ankle) against Warriors

LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard will not face the Golden State Warriors here on Wednesday due to a sprained right ankle. Leonard landed awkwardly after attempting to block a shot late in the fourth quarter of the Clippers’ win over the visiting Utah Jazz on Monday. “Just rolled my ankle,” he said Monday. “But I should be fine.” It’s the latest injury for Leonard, who returned last week and played in three matches after a 12-game absence due to a right knee injury. The Clippers, in fact, will face the defending champs without their two best players. Paul George will miss his second consecutive game with a right hamstring […]

Clippers star George exits game with right knee soreness

After burying five 3-pointers and scoring 21 points in the first half, Paul George was held out of the second half of the LA Clippers’ 119-97 victory over the San Antonio Spurs because of right knee soreness. Clippers coach Ty Lue stated George’s injury did not appear to be serious. George felt good enough to remain on the bench in the second half and even took part in tossing T-shirts to the crowd during a timeout. George did not talk to reporters after the game, but Lue said the guard was feeling fine afterward. “He’s doing OK,” Lue said. “I haven’t seen what they […]

Clippers star Kawhi Leonard will return, start vs. Pistons

Kawhi Leonard will return and start versus the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night, coach Ty Lue stated. Leonard was previously listed as out, but his status was upgraded to questionable at the LA Clippers’ Thursday morning shootaround. After playing in two of the first three games of the season, coming off the bench in both games, Leonard experienced stiffness in his surgically repaired right knee at a morning shootaround before a game at Oklahoma City on Oct. 25. He has missed 12 straight games since. Leonard did not play all of last season after tearing his right ACL in Game 4 of the Clippers’ […]
