Not a pretty win, but we'll take those. I feel like Spurs teams of the last few years fold after the Pels make that run in the 4th quarter, but we took the punch and got back into it. Good to see others stepping up when Wemby fouled out, too.

Houston loses with +25 FTA. It’s an interesting team construction, but it’s not gonna work.

Sengun last possession was dumb. He lost the game right there. Just pass it back to Durant. That's why he's there. For the clutch monents.

Is Rob Dillingham hurt? If not, I'd be concerned that Bones Hyland is taking his minutes.

The mav fans are being reminded that a team lead by AD alone has never done anything in the NBA.

Welcome to Ayton's mixed bag of effort. Dude plays only when he feels like it. We got tired of it in PHX and so did POR. Lakers fans are super fickle and they'll tire of it quick. If he manages a second contract with them, I'll be shocked.

Yeah, these early looks at Laker Ayton are any indication, bro is on his last over vet min contract. Maybe last NBA contract period... better start learning Chinese buddy!

Pistons guard rotation decimated by injury, Duren ejected after 12 mins, Stew fouls out after 17 mins, Holland fouls out after 13 mins, 48-23 FT advantage to Houston, Durant goes off for 37 points.

Pistons win in Houston.

For all of the praise of the T-Wolves, the Lakers are shooting 60% from the field.

I am so glad that Kevin Harlan is no longer saddled with Reggie Miller.

I went to unmute the Warriors @ Trailblazers game and realized it was the Dubs feed. NOPE. That one stays on mute.
