DeMar DeRozan scored 26 points, Patrick Patterson had 14 points and 12 rebounds and the Toronto Raptors beat Brooklyn 96-80 on Saturday night, snapping the Nets' five-game winning streak.
At six-foot seven and with a lengthy wingspan, Livingston's size wrecked havoc on Miami on both ends. Livingston played 51 of the 58 minutes and filled up the stat sheet with 19 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, a steal and 3 blocked shots.
Knicks guard J.R. Smith says there was no indication he'd be benched in Thursday's 102-92 win over Miami. "That's the most misleading part of it," he said.
It's amazing what happens when J.R. Smith doesn't play. It's nowhere near that simple, of course. But it was a very significant change in direction for the Knicks on Friday night.
For all of you who overpay like me to watch games in person or at home via cable/satellite/internet, you are getting swindled. We pay to see stars. Unfortunately, too often we are getting the understudies.
The New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia 76ers have become the first major U.S.-based professional teams to sign a sponsorship deal with an online gambling company.
Smith was caught untying Dallas forward Shawn Marion's sneaker Sunday. The NBA said that he received a warning from the league Tuesday and then "attempted to repeat the action" against Detroit.
Wednesday's basketball game was a new milestone in Rodman's unusual relationship with Kim, who rarely meets with foreigners and remains a mystery to much of the outside world.
The NBA could slap Smith with some form of punishment for untying Shawn Marion's shoe during a Mavericks free-throw attempt on Sunday, according to the New York Post.
I get this kind of logic from my kids all the time: A followed B, therefore B caused A. But I also know that, unless ties were preventing oxygen from flowing to his brain, there's more to this streak than Kidd ditching his neckwear.
Rodman said Monday that a game he and other former NBA players are planning in North Korea will be a "birthday present" for one of their most unlikely fans: leader Kim Jong Un.
Smith's hijinks occurred during a free-throw attempt by Dirk Nowitski, when he was subbed in with 2:08 left in the first half and promptly bent over to yank on the laces of Shawn Marion.
Whether it was a stroke of genius or dumb luck, Nets coach Jason Kidd concocted a new look for his team as it entered the New Year, pairing his two point guards.
All-Star center Brook Lopez who was averaging a team-high 20.7 points, will miss the remainder of the season and the Nets expect him back for offseason workouts.
Both the Knicks and Los Angeles Clippers have reportedly held internal discussions about the possibility of swapping superstar forwards Carmelo Anthony and Blake Griffin.
The 28-year-old insisted all was good despite an Instagram post earlier this week that was either a knock at the Knicks or a case of really bad timing. "I don't have no problems with anybody," Smith said.
Joe Johnson hit a high-arching jumper as time expired to give the Brooklyn Nets a 95-93 comeback victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night.
Anthony hasn't been shy about his frustrations as the Knicks sit dead last in the Atlantic Division. Now unnamed people close to the star forward are speaking out -- and it doesn't look good for a Melo return.
Well, now we know that Stan Van Gundy won't be coming to rescue the hapless Nets in 2014.
Knicks guard J.R. Smith is either upset with his team or just enjoys posting memes on social media. Maybe a little of both.
The Spurs guard apologized Monday for a newly surfaced photograph that shows him making the same gesture with anti-Semitic connotations that French soccer star Nicolas Anelka displayed while celebrating a goal this weekend.
This group of players has run its course, as has the Carmelo Anthony era. The trade for Melo was a failure. The idea of building around him hasn't worked. It's time to accept it, cut losses and move on.
The Knicks confirmed on their official public relations Twitter account that Carmelo Anthony did not travel to Toronto for Saturday's game against the Raptors.
Anthony is considered day-to-day. Woodson doesn't expect Melo to make the trip to Toronto on Saturday.
Knicks owner James Dolan has reportedly told his players that no major changes will be made to the roster or coaching staff.
