Lonzo Ball Rescued The Lakers With Actual By-God Buckets
The Lakers, stuck in the somewhat rare position of being a definite non-playoff team that also has no incentive whatsoever to lose, have, instead, been winning: they’ve now won five in a row, and seven of ten, and nine of 12, and 13 of 18, and 17 of 24.

It is with great indifference (because it is impossible to feel any particular way about these Detroit Pistons) that I must inform you, a person who will be vaguely surprised to be reminded that the Pistons are an NBA team—not so much because you forgot altogether that they are an NBA team but by th...

Here is a funny headline to put above a blog about J.R. Smith just hours after the entire internet spent a full day enjoying the thought of Smith hurling soup at Cavs assistant coach Damon Jones: “With Cavs struggling, J.R. Smith’s stunts aren’t so funny anymore.” I beg to differ!...
Timberwolves Collectively Melt Down During Costly Conference Loss
In the fourth quarter of Friday night’s Jazz win over the Timberwolves, Jeff Teague tracked Ricky Rubio in transition up the left sideline and randomly checked him into the row of courtside seats.

The Kings Are Terrible, But De'Aaron Fox Is Great At Hitting Buzzer-Beaters
The Sacramento Kings are 19-43, and there’s not much at stake over the last 20 games of the season, save for lottery ping pong balls.

Jordan Clarkson Was Salty About Dario Saric's Very Soft Dunk
In the closing seconds of the Sixers’ 108-97 win over the Cavaliers, Dario Saric laid down a dunk against some half-hearted defense when Philly could’ve dribbled out the rest of the game clock.
