Lopez scores 28, Bucks beat Bulls 127-106 to clinch Central

Brook Lopez scored a season-high 28 points and the Milwaukee Bucks overcame a rather quiet performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo to clinch their fourth straight Central Division championship with a 127-106 triumph over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night. The defending NBA champion Bucks haven’t been on a run like this since Don Nelson’s teams won seven successive division titles in the 1980s. They took control early and came away with an easy win even though DeMar DeRozan scored 40 for Chicago. Antetokounmpo, trying to overtake LeBron James and Joel Embiid in a tight race for his first scoring title, concluded with 18 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. But the two-time MVP started […]

Grizzlies edge Spurs 112-111, clinch No. 2 seed in West

Tyus Jones scored 25 points and the Memphis Grizzlies edged the San Antonio Spurs 112-111 on Wednesday night to capture the Southwest Division title and clinch the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies claimed their first division title in franchise history and accomplished the feat with All-Star point guard Ja Morant watching from the sidelines. “Definitely a big milestone,” Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said. “I told the group, a special accomplishment for a special group, but we’ve got more work to do.” Memphis never trailed, even as Morant missed his sixth consecutive game with a sore right knee. The Grizzlies improved to 19-2 without […]

Kyrie Irving’s season-high 50 points lead Brooklyn Nets past Charlotte Hornets to snap skid

Kyrie Irving’s 50-point outburst during Tuesday night’s 132-121 victory over the Charlotte Hornets was so impressive that Kevin Durant spent the first few moments of his postgame news conference clapping for his teammate at the podium. Durant called Irving’s performance a “master class” and said younger players should watch it to learn how he handled his business on the floor. “Everything he does is pure,” Durant said after the game. “It looked so easy tonight. I look up, he had 10 points and it felt like he only took two shots in the first quarter. And I told Seth [Curry], I’m like, ‘Damn, I didn’t know he […]

Ben Simmons to be on Brooklyn Nets bench against 76ers in Philadelphia; playing debut in flux

While it remains to be seen when new Brooklyn Nets swingman Ben Simmons will be able to make his season debut as he continues to deal with a back injury, Nets coach Steve Nash stated Simmons will join up with his new team in Philadelphia on Wednesday and will sit on the bench with the team Thursday. Simmons, who was acquired from the 76ers last month along with Andre Drummond, Seth Curry and two future first-round picks in exchange for All-Star guard James Harden and Paul Millsap, is expected to be roundly booed Thursday after requesting a trade from the Sixers after last season, citing mental health concerns. Nash was quick with […]

Golden State Warriors’ Klay Thompson erupts in 4th quarter to down Los Angeles Lakers

The final stretch of the Golden State Warriors’ Saturday night game versus the Los Angeles Lakers felt eerily similar to the contest they played against the New York Knicks two days before. The Warriors were having trouble with the Lakers’ size. They also experienced some periods of ball-watching. And their execution was poor. But there was a major, game-changing difference. After missing the shot that would have sent their game against the Knicks into overtime, Klay Thompson came out as a flamethrower in the final quarter in a 117-115 win over the Lakers. He scored 16 points in the fourth, the most he’s scored in a quarter […]

Brooklyn Nets trade James Harden to Philadelphia 76ers for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond

The Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers agreed to a blockbuster trade just hours before Thursday’s deadline, with James Harden and Paul Millsap going to Philadelphia and Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two first-round draft picks going to Brooklyn, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Brooklyn will receive Philadelphia’s unprotected 2022 first-round pick, with the right to defer it to 2023, as well as a top-8-protected 2027 first-round pick, according to Wojnarowski. That pick would remain top-8 protected in 2028, and will turn into two second-round picks — and $2 million in cash — if it doesn’t convey in either season, sources said. The Nets also are waiving DeAndre’ Bembry to create roster room […]
