The Nets understand the assignment

And Nuggets-Kings gave me the shakes.

The Nets understand the assignment

Good morning. Let’s basketball.

Gustav Klimt, anyone? Gustav Klimt.

Scores

Sixers 121, Hornets 108 — Despite my hypothesis that Charlotte’s defense would be much better without LaMelo Ball, it was slightly worse during his two-week absence. The team is just pretty bad and full of key injuries, it turns out. At least LaMelo is exciting, giving the team a total of three exciting players (Ball, Brandon Miller and Eric Collins). But Miller was injured in this game, so.

Paul George and Tyrese Maxey lit the Hornets up. This is the call with Kate Scott (good), not Eric Collins (great).

Heat 124, Pistons 125 — It turns out that all the Heat and Pistons do is play instant classics? The Tyler Herro shot to force overtime was wild. Just like the turnover that almost cost Detroit the game.

To answer your question: no, Jimmy Butler is not wearing a bike helmet.
