Lakers Fend Off Suns 111-103, Return To NBA Finals
Kobe Bryant. A 12-time All-Star. Someone who can score on demand. The king of the game-winning basket. Eventual Hall of Famer. While I am not a big fan of Bryant or the team he plays for, you absolutely have to give him his props as without him, the Los Angeles Lakers would be hard-pressed to [...]

Pierce Gets Redemption, Wins Three-Point Contest
Getting redemption the only place possible for the moment, Paul Pierce of the Celtics atoned for a bad showing his last time in the competition by winning the Foot Locker Three-Point Contest on Saturday at American Airlines Center. Pierce nailed 14 the first try and, in the scoring system with a “money ball” worth double, [...]
Big Fourth Quarter Helps Jazz Cool Off Suns 124-115
Poor Steve Nash. No, he isn’t injured except for his pride. During Monday’s game between the Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz at Energy Solutions Arena, Nash had a decent game; he also achieved a milestone as he is now only the eighth player in NBA history to dish out 8,000 assists. Unfortunately for Nash, the rest [...]
