It doesn’t matter. It just matters that he did and may have saved the Rockets season after giving up an 11-point lead late in the fourth quarter and had to go to overtime to prevent falling into a 3-0 hole (something no NBA team has ever escaped from). The hero tonight in the 121-116 Rockets […]

Stephen Curry had a lot of faith in himself on the final Sunday night of the regular season. You have to if you want to score 47 cold-blooded points in an overtime loss to Portland. His biggest play though came in the trust he showed in his teammate at the end of regulation. With time […]

File this under things you never see in an NBA game.
During last night’s Thunder-Grizzlies Game 3 of their playoff series, OKC’s Kendrick Perkins was scrambling for a loose ball when he decided to sit on Grizzlies’ Mike Miller… literally.
Seriously, Perk treats Miller like a love seat.
The Thunder would go on to lose the game but at least Perkins left a lasting impression on Miller. Get it?

Blake Griffin scored 32 points on 15-for-25 shooting and dominated on the inside. DeAndre Jordan had 14 points and 22 rebounds. The Clippers took control of the game and had to hold on as Stephen Curry got hot. Curry’s 3-pointer at the buzzer fell short and Golden State held on to take a 2-1 series lead.
Curry had 16 points on 5-for-12 shooting. Klay Thompson led the Warriors with 26 points.

Another four-point play to force overtime? No big deal. A 17-0 run to close regulation to send the game to overtime? So what? Memphis fans can feel elated and relieved following their team’s 98-95 overtime victory, the team’s second for a 2-1 series lead. The Grindhouse lived up to its name and the Grizzlies lived […]

Frankly, the Pacers have a lot of reasons to be looking at themselves and pointing fingers at each other. A season’s worth of work to get the top seed in the Eastern Conference has almost been completely thrown away. All the good will of the first half of the season has been spent. It is […]

A comprehensive documentary on Allen Iverson is slated to premiere at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival in New York. The film premieres Sunday and was directed by Zatella Beatty. It chronicles Iverson’s life, including his controversial incarceration in his hometown of Hampton, Va., which was chronicled in the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary, No Crossover: The Trial of Allen Iverson, and his impact on the NBA and American culture.
It is one of the most anticipated documentaries of the weekend.

When you finish with the second worst record in the league and are widely assumed to be throwing the last quarter of the season after trading away Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes at the trade deadline and fielding a team that probably was not full of NBA players — no offense to Hollis Thompson. The […]

No matter how many points Dwight Howard scores or focused he is on offense. He cannot do it alone. He could not do it alone in Orlando and that team was a top defensive team in the league. Houston? The Rockets are not quite defensive juggernauts. They came back and forth and rode Howard as […]

So was Game One a case of the Mavericks collapsing or the Mavericks missing their opportunity? Would San Antonio even allow Dallas another opportunity to win at AT&T Center and take control of the series? The answer was, the Mavericks did collapse and the Spurs would give them that opportunity and then some. Dallas continued […]

The Bobcats probably just wanted to get through the game with Al Jefferson somewhat healthy. This Charlotte team had to change and become somewhat more guard-oriented to try to get a split in Miami. It sure almost worked with Chris Douglas-Roberts missing a game-tying 3-pointer in the late stages of the game and the Heat […]
