We’ll say this much, Steven Adams had a fantastic final few minutes. He was out there hustling, winning rebound and defending like a champ. He had four offensive boards in the last five, two were kicked out for missed threes, one he tipped in himself and the fourth… we’ll get to that.
Sean Marks was at the Spurs so long it must seem weird to be hanging around in the NBA at this time of the year without having a playoff game to prepare for.
How about the Pacers going into Canada and returning with a 10-point win on the back of Paul George’s mastery? 33 points for a dude who a year ago was just returning from that horrific broken leg.
As farewells go, this one was just exactly right. One game, one monster occasion, that summed up everything that anyone has ever said about Kobe Bryant’s career.

There may have been a few speed bumps on the way but the Minnesota Timberwolves are on the brink of being something special. Here's the story of how they did it.

It’s always good banter to assess the state of things at the beginning of the new season, getting the ball rolling either rolling sharply down the bleachers after a crushing homer or softly towards third for a simple put out.
Sometimes professional sports feels like a heartless industry. Other times it’s more like a scene straight out of high school.
There was a time when Steven Adams and Reggie Jackson were teammates. A time when they were showing up in ads together, working the pick and roll off the bench together.
While the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs are cruising towards history at the top of the NBA’s Western Conference, there’s a heated battle going on in the middle for the last few playoff spots.
“Maybe that’s why he misses free throws, mate. Maybe? Like, ‘cause they go… I find it hard to shoot, like, really grippy stuff. It’ll just stick to your hands. And I suck already. So like… you know what I mean? I might try it out.”
The Wildcard pens a poetic ode to his favourite basketballer. Dirk Nowitzki, still getting it done after all these years.

Prince turned up specifically to watch Steven Adams against the GS Warriors. Sort of but not quite. Anyway, it was a week of collapses and mixed results for OKC, check out how Kiwi Steve fared amidst it.
