A terrific team shooting performance led to a second half runaway in the New York Knicks’ 102-83 NBA Summer League victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. New York shot 50.6% from the field in the game and turned a 3-point halftime deficit into the 19-point victory thanks to a 62-40 scoring edge in the second half. In addition to the good shooting night, defense and basketball fundamentals were important in the Knicks’ win.

The only positive that the Brooklyn Nets can take away from their stint at the 2018 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas is that they have young talent with room to improve. Otherwise, it was a forgettable experience. Brooklyn was the only team out of the entire league who failed to win a Summer League game. Friday’s 116-79 blowout loss to the Indiana Pacers was their fifth and final defeat. The Pacers scored the game’s first eight points and then put together a 16-0 run in just 1:49 of game time during the second quarter to pull away for good.…
The Las Vegas NBA Summer League is no March Madness, but Thursday’s game between the Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns gave a little taste of good old favorite-underdog flair. After trailing by as many as 14 in the second quarter, the Sixers successfully erased the deficit and never relinquished the lead for the entire fourth quarter on their way to an 88-86 win. The win marked Philadelphia’s first for the Summer League and also stands as the Suns only loss thus far. With the lead never eclipsing four points over the final three minutes of action, there was plenty of…
The month-long soccer tournament that is the FIFA World Cup is now just days away from crowning its champion. The winning nation will sit atop the world soccer throne until the next edition of the tournament in four years time. The semifinal matches that commenced in Russia over the last two days had plenty of intriguing storylines. Two historic soccer powers, France and England, both with youth movements on their squads, against two much smaller nations, Belgium and Croatia, each at the height of a golden generation in their national soccer histories. France and Croatia may have emerged victorious, but…
Although the Brooklyn Nets were able to stay within striking distance throughout the duration of Wednesday’s NBA Summer League game thanks to Jarrett Allen, they never saw the lead. Houston had seven players score in double figures, took the lead from the opening tip, and never surrendered it on their way to a 109-102 wire-to-wire victory. The largest lead of the game for the Rockets was 16, but the game felt like a bigger blowout than it actually was. The Rockets outscored Brooklyn in every quarter but the third and really controlled the pace to remain unbeaten in the Las…
All appeared to be well in the world for the New York Knicks NBA Summer League squad. New York ended the third quarter of Tuesday night’s contest against the Los Angeles Lakers on a 28-3 run, effectively erasing what once had been a 25-point deficit. After taking their largest lead of the game at a mere three points to begin the fourth quarter, the Knicks watched as the Lakers regained control, scoring the next 16 points en route to a 109-92 win.

Tuesday’s NBA Summer League contest between the Philadelphia 76ers and Washington Wizards didn’t prove to be much of a contest after all. The Wizards never trailed, cruising their way to an 87-75 wire-to-wire victory. The 76ers’ inability to make shots to keep up with Washington’s pace doomed them. The Wizards finished with a 41.7% shooting mark from the field, compared to just 35.1% for Philadelphia. The Sixers also took (and missed) a ton of three’s, finishing 6-of-25 from beyond the arc. Chris McCullough played well for Philly, but it just wasn’t enough. Chris McCullough Leads 76ers After spending last…
NASCAR’s second 2018 visit to Daytona International Speedway provided two nights of nonstop action for race fans to enjoy. Restrictor plate racing bunches up the field in a way that just doesn’t happen at other tracks. With drivers trying to draft their way to the front, it quite often isn’t necessarily the fastest car on the track who prevails. The weekend was filled with big wrecks, mixed strategies, and great finishes in both the Cup and XFINITY races. It was a great way to head into the backstretch of the 2018 NASCAR season. Monster Energy Cup Series At about…
Free agency in any major professional sports league is all but guaranteed to see big names move around. The National Hockey League is no different. It has been an eventful month of change, since the Washington Capitals hoisted the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history. Heck, even the champs themselves lost their head coach Barry Trotz over a contract dispute (Trotz agreed to be the head coach of the New York Islanders a few days after). Here are five big player signing headlines that have occurred thus far during NHL free agency. John Tavares Joins the…
