Every season, in late January and early February, the Lakers go on the “Grammy Trip”, when Crypto.com Arena will play host to the Grammy Awards, set for February 1.

A little more than halfway through the season, the East’s playoff picture looks relatively secure. The gap between the 10th-seeded Atlanta Hawks and the 11th-seeded Milwaukee Bucks is not insurmountable (2.5 games), but the Bucks, Brooklyn Nets, Indiana Pacers, and Washington Wizards either have incentives to lose, are without their star player, or both. The […]

20 years ago today, NBA fans witnessed a performance that nobody will ever forget. That evening, Kobe Bryant treated the Toronto Raptors to an onslaught of jumpers, layups, dunks, and free throws for nearly 42 minutes, and by the time the game mercifully came to an end, he’d recorded 81 points, the second-most in NBA […]

When he eventually retires, Norman Powell will be best known as the sixth man for the title-winning Toronto Raptors and, likely, an All-Star for the Miami Heat when the reserves get announced on February 1.

There’s something about January 22 that’s synonymous with big scoring performances. 20 years ago today, Kobe Bryant set the post-merger single-game scoring record by dropping 81 points on the Toronto Raptors, and on this date in 2024, Joel Embiid had 70 points and Karl-Anthony Towns 62. Towns’ outburst was sufficient to set the Minnesota Timberwolves’ […]
