Niners Interrupt Their Rebuild To Smack Down Ben McAdoo And The Giants<em></em>
The San Francisco 49ers earned their first win of the season today, in Week 10, by beating the Giants 31-21.

At Least There's Kristaps
The Thunder look like they’ll be fun, and good. The Knicks are of course neither, but in last night’s 105-84 loss they were bad on a level that still managed to surprise.
