Both scrapping for their second-tier lives near the foot of the league standings, a rejuvenated Millwall side will welcome Birmingham City to The Den on Saturday afternoon in the Championship. The Lions were forced to share the spoils at Blackburn Rovers in the week, whilst Blues produced a late comeback to earn a point from playoff-chasing Hull City. Since the arrival of Neil Harris back to the Millwall managerial hotseat, the Lions have collected seven points from three matches against Premier League hopefuls Southampton, Watford and Blackburn, whilst having an average of just 27% possession across that trio of contests.…
Any worries about lingering effects from the Warriors’ lopsided loss in Boston on Sunday faded quickly when the Dubs dropped a 40-piece on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in the first quarter Wednesday, en route to their own blowout 125-90 victory at Chase Center. In the immediate aftermath of the loss to the Celtics, Golden State coach Steve Kerr implored his team to “flush it.” The Warriors did just that even before they left town for the trip back to the West Coast, putting the entire debacle in the rear view mirror. They didn’t do much, if any, film…
Stephen Curry led a balanced scoring attack with 29 points and the Golden State Warriors rebounded from a humiliating loss in Boston with a 125-90 romp over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night in San Francisco. Golden State rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis squashed a Milwaukee rally with two blocks on Giannis Antetokounmpo in a five-second highlight reel in the third quarter. He added 15 points and four blocks for the Warriors, who were last seen getting swamped 140-88 by the Celtics on Sunday.
The Golden State Warriors are back to their winning ways as they flattened the Milwaukee Bucks at home Wednesday night. With Stephen Curry leading the charge, the Warriors stopped the Bucks’ undefeated streak in a 125-90 victory. Before that, the Bucks were on a 6-0 streak coming out of the 2024 NBA All-Star break. Such a dominant victory against legitimate NBA title contender the Bucks surely would have required a near-flawless performance from the Golden State Warriors. And that’s what Curry and company did, as the Dubs shot 56 percent from the field and drained 19 3-pointers. They also had…
With just under two minutes left in the first quarter, the Lakers took a 19-point lead over the Kings after D’Angelo Russell connected on a three-pointer. To that point, the Lakers’ defense was energetic and active, and their offense was getting good looks, both in transition off Kings misses and turnovers as well as in the half court. In the NBA, however, the game can turn in an instant and there is no better example of it than what was about to occur. From that moment of the game forward, the Kings not only clawed their way back into the…
Sengun has a long way to go before he can even sniff the level that The Dream reached in the NBA, but the young center is undeniably showing off the promise and the potential of a future Hall of Famer. There seems to be no limit to what Sengun can do, as he continues to establish himself as one of the best young players in the NBA today. A day before the Clippers game, Sengun outplayed San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama in a 114-101 home loss by the Rockets. Sengun went off for 45 points on 19/32 shooting from…
Harden is the #3 shooting guard of all-time. James Harden when he was by himself in Houston, bro they was going to the Western Conference Finals every year. They were doing all this stuff and he was unbelievable, averaging averaging 35-8-8. He was unguardable!” Teague said. “I ain’t trying to disrespect D-Wade but before [LeBron James] got there, Miami was competing with us, the [Atlanta] Hawks. Then Bron came and it’s a different stratosphere.” Jeff Teague does make some salient points; the presence of James Harden meant that the Rockets had a high floor, putting them in the mix in…
The Bucks’ performance, especially in the absence of Antetokounmpo and three-time All-Star Khris Middleton, emphasizes the team’s collective effort and adaptability under the new leadership of coach Doc Rivers. The Bucks are preparing for a challenging four-game trip to California, starting with the Golden State Warriors and including a rematch against the Clippers. “Nobody talked about who wasn’t playing before the game,” Lillard said. “It was literally like we were in the locker room, Doc didn’t come in there and say, ‘All right, Giannis is out. Khris is out.’ It was like, we went in there, we talked about the…
An offense that relies heavily on jump shots, the Thunder can be a bit streaky, but given MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s ability (among others) to get to the rim, they can generate offense even on their off-nights. The Lakers, however, possess a stout backline led by Anthony Davis, hurting OKC’s read-and-react and drive-and-kick offenses, on top of their ability to finish around the basket. Even with great spacing, they struggle to score against the Lakers, making them an optimal first-round matchup for LA (all things considered), who is likely locked into the No. 8 seed. D’Angelo Russell made an interesting…
With Milwaukee Bucks stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton both sidelined against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night, Damian Lillard had to step up to the plate. The eight-time All-Star did just that with a tremendous 41-point explosion to lead the Bucks to a 113-106 comeback victory against the mighty Clippers. Dame got a lot of help from his teammates, though, which included some clutch heroics by second-year guard A.J. Green.
