The Atlanta Hawks didn’t just lose to the Brooklyn Nets 116-104 on Sunday. They also might have lost the services of Dennis Schroder for maybe a few games.
Schroder injured his left foot late in the Nets game while driving baseline to the basket. The 24-year-old guard stepped on the foot of Brooklyn’s Caris Levert before sprawling to the floor and grimacing in pain.
Led by Curry and Durant, the Warriors kept the Mavericks winless and evened their record to 2-2.
With Stephen Curry in the lineup after being fined $50,000 but not suspended for throwing his mouthpiece during Saturday night’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Dallas Mavericks 133-103.
The freshest roster addition makes an immediate impact in his first Pelicans contest!
Whew, the Pelicans first win of the season was minutes from resulting in an entirely different outcome — and a hell of a lot of despair! After blowing a most-of-the-game-lead, the Pelicans fortunately fought back to capture a 119-112 win in Los Angeles against the Lakers.
The Grizzlies undefeated season continues!
The Grizzlies’ hot and surprising start to the season continued into Monday night, as they fought off the Rockets 98-90 at the Toyota Center in Houston. After an impressive win over the defending champion Warriors Saturday night, Memphis was able to follow it up against a tough divisional opponent.
BROOKLYN, N.Y. — It may be super early in the season, but the Brooklyn Nets have gone over .500 for the first time since November of 2014. We’ll take it after more than 1,000 days of losing.
Coming off a 126-121 win over the Orlando Magic, the Brooklyn Nets won their second consecutive game with a 116-104 victory over the Atlanta Hawks, Sunday afternoon at Barclays Center.
Washington used a balanced attack to defeat the Denver Nuggets by a score of 109-104 on Monday night. It was a wire to wire battle, which wasn’t always pretty for the Wizards, but they used a productive night across the board to win the first game of their West Coast road trip. Bradley Beal led the scoring charge with 20 points while John Wall and Otto Porter had 19 and 17, respectively.
Who wins in Giannis vs. Zeus is a real conversation now
Yep, he’s that good folks. In what was a back and forth affair, the Milwaukee Bucks took down the Portland Trailblazers 113-110 behind a career night from Giannis Antetokounmpo. Milwaukee entered halftime tonight with a five-point lead, 60-55, with Giannis netting an absurd 21 points alone. The second half didn’t see either team pull ahead by a considerable margin, but when the Blazers closed Milwaukee’s lead late, Giannis was there to ensure they didn’t face back-to-back losses at home.
The Wolves defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder on a last-second buzzer beater from Andrew Wiggins
With one minute to go, the Wolves were holding onto a three point lead against the Thunder and the human supernova that is Russell Westbrook. Westbrook drove in and got a bucket, bringing the lead to one. On the other end, Taj Gibson missed a 20-footer and Andrew Wiggins skied in to tip the basketball in.
The basketball was good tonight, folks.
Led for the second straight game by Blake Griffin, the Los Angeles Clippers stayed perfect tonight and improved their record to 2-0 as they absolutely crushed the Phoenix Suns, 130-88. Griffin didn’t play in the fourth quarter with the result decided, and finished with 29 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists in 28 minutes. He was a hyper-efficient 7-13 from the field and 3-5 from beyond the arc, while converting 12 of his 14 free throw attempts. DeAndre Jordan played his role well, with 6 points and 13 rebounds.
