If you go by form since the All-Star break, tonight’s 7 p.m. ET game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Charlotte Hornets is a battle between the league’s best team and its worst.

As is typical, the LA double is on — the LA Clippers have the chance to match what the Los Angeles Lakers did last night and top the New York Knicks when they visit Intuit Dome for a 10:30 p.m. ET clash. It’ll be a tough task for a Clippers team that desperately needs Norman […]

The final game of the night yesterday finished after most of us had gone to sleep — a classic East Coast-West Coast showdown with some overtime heroics and 50+ combined points, rebounds, and assists for Luka Dončić, LeBron James, and Jalen Brunson.

Update: Tyler Herro has been ruled out of tonight’s contest with an illness. Last night, the Cleveland Cavaliers made it more difficult than they had to, as they fell behind by 16 points to the Chicago Bulls early in the second quarter.

Who’s the best player without a single PGA TOUR victory? By the Official World Golf Ranking, it’s World No. 10 Tommy Fleetwood. The Englishman has come agonizingly close several times, losing in a playoff to Nick Taylor at the 2023 RBC Canadian Open and coming up one stroke shy of winning the 2018 U.S. Open. […]

The LA Clippers blew a 23-point lead last night in a 119-117 loss to the Phoenix Suns, as center Ivica Zubac’s would-be game-tying tip layup rattled out as the clock expired. The Clippers have now lost six of their seven games since the All-Star break, and their fortunes aren’t likely to improve tonight against the […]

The last time the Charlotte Hornets even played a first-round playoff series, Kobe Bryant was an active NBA player. The Hornets’ eight-season playoff drought — which is all but mathematically doomed to extend to nine this season — is the longest in the NBA and the fourth-longest in professional sports.
