Game On: Trail Blazers at Hornets
In both teams’ last game before the All-Star break, Portland heads to New Orleans less than 24 hours after a double-digit loss in Miami. The Blazers are 25-27 so far this season, surprising many people (including myself) by being just three games out of a playoff spot in the Western Conference. Portland has exceeded my […]

Despite trailing by just four points after three quarters of play, New York jumped out to a 13-2 run to start the 4th quarter and never looked back.

Stellar Second Half for Hornets leads to 102-81 Rout of Bucks
This game was entirely a tale of two halves. It really felt like the Hornets got outplayed in the first half, yet they took a three point lead into halftime purely thanks to the Bucks’ strange inability to make two-point shots. Milwaukee only shot 36.4% (12-33) from inside the 3-point line compared to 51.3% (20-39) […]
