Warriors guard Klay Thompson set an NBA record with 14 3-pointers Monday in Golden State’s 149-124 road win over the Chicago Bulls.
Atop the list of early surprises two weeks into the season is the wayward start of the team that produced the best record in the league last season, a squad expected to challenge for Western Conference supremacy despite a handful of cosmetic roster changes. Houston entered the week ranked 27th in defensive
The Los Angeles Clippers entered the season without many expectations. The Clippers jettisoned Blake Griffin in a late-season trade last year, lost DeAndre Jordan in free agency and traded Austin Rivers for Marcin Gortat in the offseason. On the other hand, the Oklahoma City Thunder had plenty of expectations
DeMar DeRozan hit San Antonio’s last three field goals and snagged three rebounds in overtime to punctuate a 34-point performance Monday night against Dallas, further solidifying him as the closer the Spurs lacked last season.
Lakers coach Luke Walton, after his team fell to 0-3 in games decided by five or fewer points this season, vowed to turn the tide but said “right now we’re taking a couple lumps in the meantime.”
Jimmy Butler scored 32 points and was a perfect 5-for-5 from behind the 3-point arc in the fourth quarter, highlighted by a 26-footer with 19.7 seconds left that lifted Minnesota and effectively buried LeBron James and the Lakers.
Klay Thompson’s incredible 3-point shooting binge Monday in Chicago broke one of Stephen Curry’s NBA records. And Curry was thrilled to help him do it.
Holden star Shane van Gisbergen says he can’t afford to make any more mistakes in his fight with Ford’s Scott McLaughlin for the 2018 Supercars championship.
You don’t want to be around LeBron James when his patience runs out. James spoke with reporters after Monday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves that dropped the team to 2-5 on the season. Not many expected these Lakers to contend this year, but a 2-5 start falls on the low end of expectations and is certainly something James isn’t accustomed to.
The Patriots proved Monday night that they can win a grind-it-out game. Next Sunday could be more of a shootout.
