Weekend? Done. Bracket? Busted. Basketball season? Better than ever. 😎

Today’s Lineup

Last Night’s Action

Zion powers Pelicans to 114-101 victory over Pistons

It’s hard to say Zion is “back”, because that implies that he’s back from something less-than-amazing. But it just feels so great to watch him hoop!

The former first-overall pick has been on one this season, and that continued last night. Big Z dropped 36 points on 13/14 (!) shooting to lead NOLA past the Pistons. The Pels suddenly look like a team you don’t wanna see in the playoffs…

Wolves Withstand Warriors in 114-110 W

In a battle of the old versus the new, the Timberwolves downed the Warriors behind a season-high 21 threes. Anthony Edwards continued his strong play with 23 points, and Klay’s late-game try to send the game to OT landed juuuust off the mark.

Bucks make statement 118-93 win over OKC

In a duel between two of the league’s top teams, Milwaukee stood on business with a 118-93 dub over OKC. Giannis scored 30, but the Bucks’ defense was the real story, holding the young Thunder to just 37% shooting and 23% from three. Don’t sleep on the Herd…

Elsewhere around the Association…

• The 76ers spoiled James Harden’s revenge game, putting together a solid team win to dispatch their former lead guard and his Clipper companions. Cam Payne scored 23 off the bench in Philly’s win, including this smooth stepback J.

• The Cavs must have had to get out of the kitchen, because they definitely couldn’t handle the Heat. Miami scorched Cleveland 121-84 behind a 59-point day from the Heat bench.

• Look out for the LakeShow! LA won their third straight thanks to 25-point performances from LeBron, AD, Austin Reaves, and Spencer Dinwiddie. Despite the loss, Pascal Siakam won the highlight battle with this double-poster slam.

Weekend Wrap-Up

D’Angelo Russell has had plenty of twists and turns in his Laker career, but now he has his name in the record books. On Saturday, D-Loading broke the record for most threes in a season in Lakers franchise history. These are the moments we Enjoy most, people!

If there’s one thing about Coach Thibs over in NYC, he’s gonna let his guys play. During the Knicks’ win over the Nets this weekend, Deuce McBride became just the second player to play a full 48 minutes this season. He joins teammate Josh Hart, who did it… earlier last week. No rest for the winning! 😂

Bracket already busted? Ours too. Luckily, these moments made it all worth it.

Oakland Overload 💪

There must be something magical about shooters playing for Oakland-related teams… right? Jack Gohlke led the Golden Grizzlies to an upset over Kentucky and followed in the Splash Bros’ footsteps with 16 threes in his first two tourney games.

Geaux Tigers Geaux 🐯

Defending women’s champion LSU went down 41-32 early in the second half, and it seemed the Tigers’ title defense would end earlier than fans would have liked. Then, Angel Reese and Co. reeled off a 27-8 run and lived to dance another day.

Double the Fun ✌️

Regulation wasn’t enough to decide Creighton vs. Oregon. Neither was overtime, apparently. But when time came for the second overtime period, the Blue Jays dominated en route to a spot in the Sweet Sixteen. This game was an all-time THRILLER!

Three in the Key

Signing Off

And we’re out! With a new week ahead, a million opportunities are in front of you. Try a new restaurant. Make a new friend! But remember that it’s always enough to just do you.
