Player grades: Warriors vs. Magic

Photo by Mike Ehrmann/ Assessing every Golden State player’s performance in the team’s 101-93 win over Orlando. The Golden State Warriors had a fabulous time in Florida. A day after blowing out the Miami Heat, the Warriors had one of their best performances of the season, notching a 101-93 win over the Orlando Magic, despite missing their starting front court — one player to injury, and one player to an ejection. It was a win to build on, and it was a win to grade. As always, my grades are based on my expectations for each player, with a “B” grade...

Kelly Oubre, Jr. apologizes after verbal altercation with officials postgame

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports There were quite a few controversial calls at the end of Sixers-Clippers and Kelly Oubre, Jr.’s reaction will likely get him fined. Wednesday’s 108-107 loss to the Clippers was as frustrating as it gets for the Sixers. They were in control for most of the night. They held a lead as large as 15 and were up 104-99 with under two minutes to go. From there, just about everything went against them — including a few calls. While the Sixers had opportunities to put the game away and not let the officials be a factor, there were calls in...

Game Recap: Suns take down Nuggets in Mile High City AGAIN, 104-97!

Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports The Phoenix Suns got a much-needed victory to make up for the subpar performance in San Antonio. It was a Kevin Durant masterclass on both ends of the floor. The Suns’ superstar had an efficient 30-point game complimented by 13 rebounds and five blocks on the evening. “We had a good practice and film session yesterday and we were ready to play,” said Kevin Durant postgame on ESPN. Thad Young stepped up, providing 18 quality minutes, finishing +15 with 6 points and 9 rebounds. The Suns played a steady 48 minutes of basketball...

How scheming Steph Curry away from Jalen Suggs led to Andrew Wiggins’ fourth-quarter explosion

How scheming Steph Curry away from Jalen Suggs led to Andrew Wiggins’ fourth-quarter explosion

Photo by Fernando Medina/NBAE via They wanted to get Curry breathing room to create offense. The result was Wiggins capturing a scoring rhythm. The Golden State Warriors were inflicted with a serious case of no Draymond Green early in their game against the Orlando Magic. But rather than talk about the unnecessary ejection (on Green’s part, mind you), I want to talk about how the Warriors were able to eke out this much-needed win over the Magic, who are — in several ways — a perfect foil for the diminutive and largely unathletic Warriors. A bunch of long arms,...

Spurs show impressive composure in win against the Jazz

Rob Gray-USA TODAY Sports The Spurs’ momentum carried into Utah following an encouraging win vs the Suns. Following a gutsy win against Phoenix without Wemby, the Spurs carried their momentum into Wednesday night’s matchup by recording a wire-to-wire victory vs the Jazz. Still riding high from the previous game, the Spurs played composed basketball right from tip-off. On offense, they continuously swung the ball around to set up good shots. Wemby and Vassell had a number of two-man plays that flummoxed Utah’s defense, and San Antonio did a good job of crashing...
