The relationship of Kevin Love and LeBron James has been an interesting one so far during their tenure as teammates. LeBron’s famous “fit in” tweet aimed at Love a few months ago really demonstrated that the two aren’t on the same page. And according to Love, they’re not exactly “best friends” either.

Despite the valiant effort from Nets’ center Brook Lopez, who finished with a game-high of 31 points—his team still couldn’t notch the victory. The Celtics’ balanced attack, led by Evan Turner’s triple-double (19 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists), was more than enough to give them the 110-91 road win, which also snapped their three-game skid.

Welcome to Bizarro World. Population: Dallas Mavericks. Mark Cuban’s crew has been in something of a tailspin since the Rajon Rondo trade in December. They’re still in the hunt for a top-three Western Conference playoff seed, but their offense is no longer historical, and they’re now one of the West’s few pretender candidates. Plenty of [...]

This Willie Cauley-Stein dunk is definitely the dunk of the tournament. Possibly even the dunk of the season for college hoops.
