Last night in Tokyo, Japan, the Los Angeles Dodgers started their 2025 season the way the 2024 season ended — with a victory.

Just four games are on the slate for tonight’s NBA offering after yesterday’s slate featured not one, but two overtime games (and a Bronny James NBA made three-pointer, but who’s paying attention to that?).

On February 22, the Los Angeles Lakers went to the Mile High City and defeated the Denver Nuggets, 123-100, announcing their presence as legitimate contenders to win the Western Conference.

The LA Clippers are in dire straits. Before the All-Star break, LA had largely hovered between the fourth and sixth seeds in the Western Conference, buoyed by a resurgent season from James Harden, rapid and unexpected improvements from Ivica Zubac and Norman Powell, and the injury return of Kawhi Leonard. But since the intermission, Powell […]
