The Utah Jazz could not avoid the buzzsaw that was the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night. They may, however, have averted an even bigger disaster. Halfway through the fourth quarter of Game 5, with the Jazz clinging to their postseason livelihood, Donovan’s Mitchell banged legs with James Harden while dribbling in the half-court. He was [...]

David Fizdale wasted little time making a good first impression as head coach of the New York Knicks.
