Same spot. Same story. The Warriors are headed to the play-in — again. It’s their third straight trip and fourth in six years. Draymond Green didn’t sugarcoat it. “I’m sick of the play-in,” he said, via Angelina Martin of NBC Sports Bay Area. “It seems like we’re a play-in magnet.” Golden State (36-38) still has […] The post Draymond Green on Warriors’ play-in spot: ‘I’m sick of it’ appeared first on Hoops Wire.

The Knicks guard, who returned from a 28-game absence Sunday following sports hernia surgery, appeared to hurt his groin area in the third quarter against the Thunder.

The Nets’ 116-99 win over tanking rival Sacramento before a sellout crowd of 17,548 at Barclays Center broke a 10-game slide, but hurt their odds in the all-important NBA Draft lottery.

Isaiah Hartenstein was right. There was another level of playmaking that he didn’t get to show in New York.

The Lakers, as underdogs, are on a whole different planet right now. And not in a good way.
