Another one of those games where the Hornets dig themselves a double-digit hole but come back to make it tight down the stretch. In the fourth quarter, they were able to stop the Sixers for stretches and they were able to score for stretches, but unfortunately those two facets didn’t overlap enough for the Hornets […]

McHale kindly obliged: Aaron Gray didn’t see many minutes in Chicago, and there are reasons […]

I can’t help but smile a big stupid smile after that game. 48 hours after knocking in the buzzer-beating game-winner against the Grizzlies, James Posey came through again in the clutch, faking a hand off to Chris Paul with three seconds left before creaking down the lane and scoring the layup to beat the T’Wolves. […]
