Eric Samulski breaks down how the Knicks beat the 76ers in the Eastern Conference playoffs

Don't rush back, Luka Doncic. It's not worth it. The Lakers can't beat the defending champion Thunder. You can't risk further injury.

No team in the world has been playing better basketball than the New York Knicks. They're the clear team to beat in the Eastern Conference.

Keyonte is goin’ gamblin’, my friends.

We’re breaking down every unrestricted point guard hitting the market this July, from the high-scorers to the veterans.

When Mousa Cisse was signed as a two-way player before the season, no one had any expectations for the rookie big-man. But Cisse was a pleasant surprise all season, as his energy and rim protection were felt anytime he stepped on the court. But with the Mavs frontcourt being so crowed, should the Mavericks bring […]

The Sixers’ scrappy effort without Joel Embiid on Wednesday night did not yield a series-shifting win in New York.

Despite the gruesome nature of Jarred Vanderbilt’s dislocated right pinky injury, the Lakers forward’s status is day to day.

When the ball got stuck behind the basket in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Wednesday night, the New York Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns proved that if you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself. The 76ers' Andre Drummond failed on a few attempts to dislodge the ball, drawing loud boos from the crowd at Madison Square Garden. Towns then took over and did it himself on the first try, getting raucous cheers from fans — including actor Timothée Chalamet.

There was no blowout in Game 2. But the Knicks showed they can win a tight battle down the stretch.

Austin Reaves didn’t shy away from the fact that he has to play better for the Lakers to win.

Should the Celtics consider breaking up the Jays to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Bucks? Chris Forsberg and Tom Giles share their thoughts.

Jaylen Brown reaffirmed his happiness in Boston on Wednesday night, saying if it was up to him, he'd remain with the Celtics for the next 10 years.

If you’re Andre Drummond, you can’t give Madison Square Garden this satisfaction.

There appears to be a difference in what Jaylen Brown says behind closed doors and what he divulges to Celtics president of operations Brad Stevens.

Here are the NBA playoff games for Wednesday, May 6, 2026: Enjoy the games!

The Lakers have a couple of new additions to their injury report ahead of Game 2 against the Thunder.

The Knicks look to keep steamrolling while the Sixers hope to even up the series.

The Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo now have about six weeks to make a decision about his future with the organization.

The Sixers will be without a star player tonight.

Some players, like Steph Curry, will be on the golf course as soon as the NBA season ends. Others hit the beach in places like Cabo for some much-needed rest and relaxation.

Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Jimmy Haslam says he would like to have Giannis Antetokounmpo's future sorted out before next month’s NBA draft. Haslam spoke Wednesday alongside general manager Jon Horst at a news conference introducing Taylor Jenkins as the Bucks’ coach.
