The Boston Celtics looked much better in the first half against the Nets than they did throughout their entire preseason matchup with Brooklyn. But one half of solid play isn’t going to cut it against the Nets, as Boston and the rest of the NBA learned on Christmas Day. By walking away with a 123-95 win over the Celtics on Friday, the Nets became the first team since the 2008-09 Los Angeles Lakers to open up the season with back-to-back 20-plus-point wins. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant… Source link

The Los Angeles Clippers followed up their win over the Lakers on opening night with another strong effort against a Western Conference contender on Christmas Day. But they lost Kawhi Leonard along the way. The Clippers improved to 2-0 with a 121-108 win over the Denver Nuggets Friday, capping an NBA holiday slate with the fifth double-digit margin of victory in five games. They held on for the win after losing Leonard, who was left bloodied and laying on the court after teammate Serge Ibaka… Source link

Anticipation lingered in the air Tuesday before the Los Angeles Lakers collected their rings on opening night, before losing to the Los Angeles Clippers, 116-109. A matchup that was once considered fait accompli failed to materialize in the playoffs, courtesy of the Denver Nuggets bouncing the Clippers early, but here, finally, they were, with new identities: the champion and the humbled up-and-comer. Montrezl Harrell, who switched allegiances from the Lakers to the Clippers this offseason… Source link

It wasn’t the exact spot, but the same gait, the same pace for Kevin Durant when he announced to the basketball world that the torch was his three years ago. That pull-up triple he hit in LeBron James’ face in the NBA Finals was easy money, be it with the Golden State Warriors or against them, in a crowded arena or an empty gym, at grand opening or grand closing. The reasons why Durant didn’t receive his due flowers are myriad, but mostly invalid. The fact he’s putting the world on… Source link

The New Orleans Saints suffered a close loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in a game that could have swung on any number of plays. Cam Jordan believes that he personally cost the Saints the game with a play that got him ejected in the fourth quarter. With the Chiefs leading, 21-15 with 13:55 remaining, Jordan was ejected for punching Kansas City offensive lineman Andrew Wylie in the helmet. The Saints defensive end also drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for the incident that… Source link

Trey Sermon might have just carried Ohio State into the College Football Playoff. Sermon set an Ohio State rushing record with 29 carries for 331 yards as the Buckeyes came back to beat No. 14 Northwestern, 22-10, in the Big Ten championship game. Sermon surpassed Eddie George’s single-game rushing record of 314 yards with less than two minutes to go. He juked, knocked over and hurdled defenders on the 23-yard carry as Ohio State clinched its fourth consecutive Big Ten title. Ohio State and… Source link

Gennadiy Golovkin lands a blow to Kamil Szeremeta in their IBF Middleweight title bout at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on December 18, 2020 in Hollywood, Florida. (Photo by Cliff Hawkins/Getty Images) The question of the night seemed to be, is he back? But the better question pertaining to Gennadiy Golovkin, perhaps, is was he ever gone? The IBF middleweight champion manhandled unheralded Kamil Szeremeta on Friday, knocking him down four times and stopping him after seven full rounds in… Source link

It’s not really what Jalen Hurts did in his first start for the Philadelphia Eagles. It’s what he didn’t do. Hurts didn’t throw egregious interceptions. He didn’t take any sacks. He lost a fumble late, but he’s bound to make some rookie mistakes. Carson Wentz led the NFL in all three categories for much of the season. No wonder the Eagles looked better with Hurts at quarterback. Hurts did some good things too, passing it and running it. The Eagles played their best game of the… Source link

December 9th, 2020 by Johnna Crider  Yahoo! Finance chose Zoom as its “Company of the Year,” and that’s perfectly fine. However, Yahoo! Finance decided to focus a whole article on why Tesla didn’t make the cut, and the article’s got some issues. Aside from not being fair to Tesla, it really wasn’t fair to Zoom. To be frank, it’s weird. I really don’t see the point, but let’s dive in. First, congrats to Zoom — it really did help… Source link
