It finally happened. We all knew this day would come, but it’s still a bit of a shock. In a brutal 125-108 loss to the Phoenix Suns, LeBron James, the seemingly ageless titan of the NBA, actually looked… well, old. It was a rare sight, like spotting a unicorn, only this unicorn looked tired and…
Let’s get one thing straight: if your team’s game plan involves getting in Josh Allen’s face, you’ve already lost. It’s like trying to put out a fire with gasoline.

Just when you thought the Golden State Warriors’ season couldn’t get any more dramatic, the basketball gods decided to throw a wrench in the works.

Sometimes the stats sheet tells you everything you need to know, and sometimes it barely scratches the surface. On a humid Tuesday night, the Timberwolves took on the Pelicans inside the Smoothie King Center. The numbers were certainly gaudy—291 combined points, two overtime periods, and enough lead changes to give you whiplash. But the real…
The energy inside TD Garden felt familiar, thick with the tension of a playoff atmosphere between the Celtics and Knicks in early December.

If there were any lingering questions about who has the hot hand in Philadelphia right now, Tyrese Maxey answered them emphatically on Tuesday night.
