Kobe took 46 shots for 81 points.

Cade Cunningham just took 45 shots tonight and they probably needed it given the injuries the Pistons are dealing with. Good win for Detroit.

EXCLUSIVE: Caleb Wilson on his HUGE night against Kansas and silencing the doubters! | AFTER DARK
YouTube video by The Field Of 68: After Dark EXCLUSIVE: Caleb Wilson on his HUGE night against Kansas and silencing the doubters! | AFTER DARK

Caleb Wilson's answers in his Field of 68 interview strike the perfect balance between confidence and humility.

It’s a fine line between cocky and genuine, but Wilson makes you lean into rooting for him.

Can’t help but respect the authenticity. #TarHeels #UNC #CBB

Was a good win for Hubert. Could only imagine what the noise would’ve been like had he lost that one.

Man Caleb Wilson is hoopin against Kansas right now!

The freshman’s poise, hustle and playmaking are next-level.

Can’t wait to see how he continues to develop throughout the season.

What I learned playing poker against Ty Lue, other NBA figures in my days as a Vegas professional | Sporting News Tyronn Lue's reputation inside the Las Vegas poker circles was a good one among us professional players.

Before I was an NBA writer, I was a pro poker player for 12 years. I played against many pro athletes, including Ty Lue a few times.

Here's a snapshot of that period of my life, and thoughts on Lue's alleged connection to Chauncey Billups' private game:

Duren & Cunningham connected for a league-most 55 lobs last season, 16 more than any other duo.

They came into tonight with 8, most in the NBA.

November 4, 1999: Toronto's Tracy McGrady soars for the "punctuation mark" during a 97-86 win over Miami. McGrady finished with 14 PTS off the bench.

Doug Christie scored a game-high 28 PTS and Vince Carter added 24 PTS for the Raptors. Alonzo Mourning led the Heat with 18 PTS.

Mikayla Blakes man. What a bucket. Gave Cal a cool 27 today over in Paris. Every time she touches the ball, it’s a highlight waiting to happen.

Her college resume is going to look insane when she’s done.

Nylon Calculus: When can we trust a team’s stats? How many games does a team have to play before we can start to trust their stats as representative of skill and not random noise?

I like to boost this near the start of every season. Here's how long before you can start trusting a team's stats, per @knarsu3.bsky.social. Some noteworthy ones:

Offensive rating: 13 games
Defensive rating: 16 games
True shooting %: 12 games

It's still early.

Unbelievable. Hell of a World Series and that Game 7 is probably the best baseball game I’ve ever watched. Unreal stuff.

What a great World Series. Feels like it’s been the equivalent of what we got to enjoy in the NBA Finals.

Vlad has hit the right notes this entire playoff run. 27 outs away from Canadian immortality.

Ja Morant is the face of the Grizzlies but leadership isn’t just about highlights, it’s about habits.

This isn’t one of his finest moments, but he can also choose how he handles things from here and it doesn’t have to be this way.

LaMelo’s step-back 3 doesn’t fall but optimism in Charlotte stays undefeated.

66 points in the paint. 27 fast break points. 139 points. That was a rough outing vs the Rockets.

Early days but the Raptors are lucky the city and country are watching the Blue Jays because the basketball so far isn’t backing up all that playoff talk.

Happy to have a game to watch at 630pm ET but doesn’t look like either of these two teams and the crowd are too enthused about it.
