Missing Pau Gasol and Derrick Rose, the Bulls spent most of Thursday night’s game against the 76ers looking like they’d never played basketball with each other before.

Down two with just 1.7 seconds left against Oswego State and inbounding from under their opponent’s basket, the D3 Brockport Golden Eagles needed some Grant Hill to Christian Laettner shit to even make it to overtime. That’s not exactly what happened, but somehow the ball Rube Goldberg Machine’d its...
Kris Dunn Step-Back Buzzer-Beater Leads Providence Over Creighton
The 12th-ranked Providence Friars—I know, that sounds weird to me too—found themselves tied up 48-48 with Creighton Tuesday night, with just 15 seconds left to play. Fortunately for them they have Kris Dunn, a future lottery pick, to win games....

DeMar DeRozan Dunked All Over The Sixers Last Night
The Raptors went down Pennsylvania way to take on a summer league team that’s somehow still playing into January. It was the fourth game of a mini road trip, but they took care of the anonymous group of Benjamin Franklin fans. Toronto is, for my money, the best of the morass of teams fighting for th...
Steph Curry Hit One Of The Most Disrespectful Shots I've Ever Seen
You want to know how much Steph Curry was feeling himself during the Warriors’ 128-116 victory over the Kings?

Martavis Bryant Buttcatch Vindicates League That Still Doesn't Know What A Catch Is
Martavis Bryant’s buttcatch is one of this season’s most spectacular plays, but we’ll forgive you if you missed it due to falling asleep or having any of a hundred better things to be doing at 10:15 on a Saturday night. This being the NFL, we fully expected officials to declare it incomplete. How ha...

Maryland Breaks Wisconsin's Heart With Game-Winning Three
Wisconsin fought back at home against Maryland from a late eight-point deficit, only to lose at the last second.

Steph Curry Is At It Again
Portland actually filed their paperwork correctly and had C.J. McCollum around for last night’s game against the Warriors, but, yeah, no, Golden State rolled easily. That’s thoroughly unsurprising, but this cool little alley-oop from Steph Curry to Andrew Bogut kind of was....
