The Dallas Mavericks (6-4) took on the Brooklyn Nets (2-8), winning 130-93 on the first night of a back-to-back. This may be a game where one could draw correlations that aren’t really there, or it may be the perfect example of a lesson learned. The Mavs slept on the Kings a few nights ago and got embarrassed, but tonight they …

The Denver Nuggets played in Mexico two nights ago. They beat the Indiana Pacers 114-102. With the extra level of travel, Denver has listed their entire rotation as a game-time decision. More than likely, some of them will have to play. However, if they do sit everyone, the Houston Rockets will owe them a huge debt of gratitude. Houston has …

Austin Reaves and the Los Angeles Lakers earned a 121-116 victory over the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena on Sunday, Nov. 8.

The Milwaukee Bucks started strong but faded in a 117-97 loss to the Boston Celtics.

The Celtics retook the lead at the start of the second quarter …

Well… We can only go up from here right? The Utah Jazz suffered yet another road loss Sunday night at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves, without Anthony Edwards. Now 1-9, the Jazz tonight matched the 2013-14 Utah Jazz for the worst 10-game start to the season since the team has been in Utah. As you will recall, that 2013-14 …

Don’t expect to see Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum talking on Tuesday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena.  Brown is still very much trying to just put his chapter with the Boston Celtics, and his ensuing rift with Tatum, behind him. “It’s nothing to talk about. I mean, he’s on his side, I’m on my side,” Brown said on Sunday, via …

This time, the Net took a far more direct route to a loss. Continuing their first legitimate road trip of the season, Brooklyn sure looked like weary travelers tonight in Dallas. They also played this one as the second half of a back-to-back, and that likely didn’t help either. Advertisement In that prior game, the Nets let a contest they …

The Lakers controlled most of Sunday afternoon’s game against the Pistons, including withstanding a furious rally in the second half to pick up a big road win, 121-116.

Who needs Luka Doncic when you have the US equivalent from Newark, Arkansas, Austin Reaves? The Los Angeles Lakers guard scored a game-high 43 as his MVP-level teammate rested with a back injury, propelling LA past the Detroit Pistons 121-116. Honestly, the game had no reason to be as close as it was in the end. The Lakers led 40-14 …

The Spurs put together two of their finest wins during SEGABAGA road victories over Sacramento and Portland.

Some observations …

There was a time not so long ago when the Brooklyn Nets were among the teams hoping to land Cooper Flagg.

The Phoenix Suns have won two consecutive games, and confidence is slowly beginning to build. Much of that confidence stems from the team’s newfound ability to play defense, something noticeably absent through the first six games of the season. Playing a shorthanded Orlando Magic team certainly helped, but for the first time all season, Phoenix held an opponent under 110 …

For much of the LeBron James era, one of the defining characteristics of the team, more often than not, was how much they struggled in third quarters. For some reason, the halftime adjustments discussed in the locker room needed some sort of nesting period before taking effect. More often than not, that meant the Lakers were playing from behind in …
