Craven North Carolina Legislators Threaten ACC Over Future Boycotts
After North Carolina kinda-sorta-not-really repealed HB2 last month under pressure from a handful of powerful sports bodies, the NBA and NCAA let the state back into their good graces.

Marcin Gortat Loves His Fans

The Tanking Lakers Made Metta World Peace Shoot A Ton Of Threes But They Still Won Anyway
Despite their best efforts, the Los Angeles Lakers can’t stop winning games. They entered tonight’s game against the Pelicans on a four-game winning streak, and they extended it to five with a 108-96 victory.

The Cavs Seem To Have Given Up On Finishing As The Top Seed
The Cavs’ end-of-season stumble took another sullen step last night with an overtime loss to the Miami Heat, which included yet another blown fourth-quarter lead.
