The (2-8) Los Angeles Lakers are in the valley of the sun, Phoenix, Arizona, to battle the (5-4) Suns. The Lakers, led by an all-around effort by Kobe Bryant, Jordan Clarkson and a defense that held the Detroit Pistons to 37-percent shooting from the field helped the purple and gold notch their second win of the season and first home win of the 2015-16 season. While in Phoenix, time permitting, the Lakers could view Camelback Mountain, for a challenging hike on Cholla trail, also a visit to…

But he's been playing like this for the entire basketball season with the 87ers of the NBA D-League.

He also shot an outstanding 52.9 percent from the field and 70.7 percent from the free throw line.

Intro The San Antonio Spurs will face off against the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference semi-finals in a battle for Texas. If you told me we would get a James Harden vs. Kawhi Leonard matchup in the second round, I’d gladly accept it. Two of the top five MVP candidates will go head to head, in what should be a great and entertaining series. If the regular season is any indication, then this series will be extremely close and go down to the wire. All four of their regular season games…

bounced each measurement three time in a row for each height. Then we added them up then divided by three and that was the average height, then we would divide the rebound height by the average then times by one hundred then that was the energy efficiency. Research question: does the height that a ball is dropped from affect its rebound height and energy efficiency? Aim: The purpose of this experiment was to see how high a ball when you drop it of at different heights as well as the efficiency…

rejuvenation year. He has gone up in offensive rebounding dramatically, and defensive by one rebound. He’s also averaged twelve rebounds for his whole career. Compared to other big men, Pau is not a spectacular put back player, because it’s not necessary. He is wise enough to not use his athleticism, instead he uses his timing and IQ to get those rebounds. Marc is stronger and taller, averaging nine rebounds a game and also averaging three put backs a game, which is the most in his…

he didn’t have his fastball. We didn’t have our fastball tonight. “Sometimes you have to win it with the curve or win it with a changeup, and that’s sort of what we had to do tonight.” LeBron James led Cleveland with a team-high 23 points, five rebounds and three assists, while Mo Williams added 22 points,…

Cousins over a full season, so Holiday has a transition ahead of him as the ball is sure to be in his hands for less possession time. Rondo had a down and fairly tumultuous year for the Bulls last year. He averaged 7.8 points, 6.7 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game while starting 42 of 69 games and playing the fewest minutes (26.7 per game) since his rookie season in…
