Kevin Durant looked completely unstoppable as his Golden State Warriors won 118-103 over the Memphis Grizzlies. Durant was at his focused peak, making 12-of-13 shots from the field on a night he was more interested in being a facilitator. That’s right folks, on his best shooting night ever, Durant wasn’t even thirsty to score; he was intent on dishing the rock for extended spurts throughout the game. He finished with 28 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and was a +30 plus/minus.

The Golden State Warriors outworked the Detroit Pistons 121-114 in a battle of two teams playing on the second half of back-to-backs. Stephen Curry led the Dubs in scoring with 26 points, Klay Thompson added 24, while Kevin Durant and Draymond Green both tallied 14 points each. Durant and Green were heady passers as well, 11 and 8 assists respectively.

In a matchup that featured James Harden vs. the MVP, the Bucks would cruise to a 108-94 victory, earning a season sweep of the Houston Rockets.

The anticipation for this one was definitely next-level. We all knew the storyline coming in — James Harden vs. the MVP. There wasn’t an empty seat in the arena, and the energy was palpable, making it really mirror a playoff atmosphere.

Over a thousand young basketball players from Baguio, Benguet, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, La Union, Ilocos Sur, Pangasinan and other nearby provinces joined the Jr. NBA Philippines North Luzon Regional Selection Camp at Benguet State University in La Trinidad on March 23-24.

So much of how success is defined really just comes down to expectations. Steve Nash won two MVPs because he was seen as some type of underdog given his natural abilities compared to guys like Shaquille O’Neal, whose incredible production was what was always supposed to happen. It remains ridiculous that Nash would have as many MVPs as Kobe and Shaq combined as a result, but alas.

What. Just. Happened.

The Dallas Mavericks, losers of 15 of the last 17 games, just handed the Golden State Warriors a gigantic, colossal ‘L’ on a silver platter.

The Mavericks have had big victories this season. The 118-68 win against the Utah Jazz in November and the 122-84 beatdown against the Charlotte Hornets in January come to mind. But this win, given the circumstances of the Mavericks season, was different and felt really, really good. After all, the Mavericks did stop a 12 game skid at Oracle Arena with the win.

The Blazers’ Jusuf Nurkic suffered a serious injury to his left leg Monday night at the Moda Center against the Brooklyn Nets. While going to the hoop, he came down awkwardly, fell to the court, and never got up. His left leg looked seriously injured, and didn’t move. Medical staff covered his face with a towel as he clutched at them.

Well, it was quite nice to have that Giannis Antetokounmpo fella back. Right from the opening tip, his presence was felt throughout Fiserv Forum. It was pretty fun to watch the Bucks play some super good basketball with him out on the court.
