Game RecapsFriday, Oct 30, 2026

For the most part, I’ve liked what I’ve seen from the Cavaliers. They’re about where I figured they’d be. The exception, of course, was blowing a 29-point lead in Philadelphia on opening night. Nobody needs another one of those. But five games into the season, the Cavs are 3-2 and still figuring things out. Do […] The post Cavs head to Milwaukee with familiar habits and plenty of time to change them appeared first on Hoops Wire.

Angel Reese has been unreal in the WNBA playoffs and continues to set new WNBA Finals records.

WNBA Finals ticket prices swung from $23 in Atlanta to $396 in San Francisco within days.

ATLANTA (AP) — There should be no problem with the Golden State Valkyries and Atlanta Dream approaching the first WNBA Finals Game 7 in league history with a sense of urgency.Then again, that's what Golden State coach Natalie Nakase thought about Game 6.

Reese Still Won't Cease! The post Divine Intervention: Is Angel Reese WNBA Finals MVP No Matter What? appeared first on Ballislife.com.

Jarred Vanderbilt is one of the longest tenured members of the Los Angeles Lakers, but over the last couple seasons has always been in and out of the rotation. Vanderbilt didn’t appear in the first four games of this season, but head coach JJ Redick turned to him against the L.A. Clippers to essentially serve […]

After suffering their first loss of the season, the Los Angeles Lakers had to turn right around and take the court again the next night against the L.A. Clippers. And making it even more of a challenge was the fact that superstar Luka Doncic would sit out the contest due to lower back tightness. That […]

Golden State basketball is on the way! Come join our game thread and chat about tonight’s matchup here.

Cunningham laughs at being the first WNBA player to be hit by a sex toy.

The Atlanta Dream kept their championship hopes alive on Thursday after defeating the Golden State Valkyries 80-69 in Game 6 of the WNBA Finals. Now, ESPN lead WNBA play-by-play announcer Ryan Ruocco believes Angel Reese could play a major role in helping the Dream finish the job in Game 7, especially because of her fearless mentality.

There isn’t a whole lot you can complain about the Pistons start to the season. They sit at an East-best 4-1 and got through the brutal start to their schedule with a 3-1 record. This is all despite missing Jalen Duren for half of the games and key rotation players like Ausar Thompson and Isaiah Joe for a couple. The Brooklyn Nets are 0-4, but they have been sneakily competitive this season with their only blowout loss being a 27-point loss to the Indiana Pacers. They are coming off a buzzer ...

Really good article I just read, plus some good insight into how some of the team talks to eachother. Really seems like they are meshing really well and have similar mindsets and it’s awesome to see. “In Thursday’s game in Portland, Coward said he shot a 3-pointer from the top of the circle. He missed. “I came to the bench, and Stew was like, ‘Hey, man! I got a guard on me. Hit me in the post,’” Coward said. “I was like, ‘I got you.’ And it’s like, there’s nothing like he’s telling me it’s a ...

The Lakers and Warriors will headline the start of the NBA Cup on Friday.

The Celtics host the Bulls in their NBA Cup opener as Jayson Tatum looks to continue Boston's momentum.

We’re 6.1% of the way through the NBA regular season. That’s just there in case anyone is taking Houston’s 5-0 record and extrapolating it to contender status. The Rockets were 13-4 to begin last season, and we all remember the disaster that ended up being. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t enjoy this fun start. […]

Angel Reese is one win away from delivering Atlanta its first WNBA championship and cementing her legacy as one of basketball’s brightest stars. Angel Reese has already accomplished so much in her young career, but Saturday night’s Game 7 could be the biggest moment of them all. With the Atlanta Dream just one victory away…

The Timberwolves kick off their NBA Cup run with a “get right” game against the Clippers.
