Getty Image Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks moved into the driver’s seat of their first round series against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. Behind 22 points in a near triple-double from Doncic and a 21-point outing from Kyrie Irving, Dallas defended its homecourt and picked up a 101-90 win to move ahead in the series, 2-1. J.J. Redick was part of the ESPN crew on the call of the game, and before things tipped off, Doncic decided to bust his chops in the aftermath of a recent report by Shams Charania of The Athletic. Charania reported that Redick is on the list of candidates for the C ..read more

ESPN The Minnesota Timberwolves took care of business on Friday night with a 126-109 win over the Suns in Phoenix. As a result, Minnesota moved one win away from advancing in the postseason for the first time in two decades, as the team now holds a commanding 3-0 series lead over Phoenix. Perhaps more importantly, the vibes are just in completely opposite places right now, as evidenced by a sequence that occurred late in the game. Suns guard Josh Okogie — who provided some much-needed energy in the fourth quarter — committed a hard foul on Rudy Gobert, and after a review, he got hit with a Fla ..read more

Getty Image For the second game in a row, the Dallas Mavericks have taken down the Los Angeles Clippers. The two teams squared off on Friday night in Game 3 of their first round series, and in what can be classified as a slugfest, Dallas was able to defend its homecourt en route to a 101-90 win and a 2-1 series lead. The first half was defined by two things: A dominant performance from Luka Doncic, and a total no-show by two of the Clippers’ biggest stars. Dallas was able to take a 54-41 lead into the locker room at halftime thanks to Doncic completely tearing up the Los Angeles defense, as th ..read more

ESPN The Los Angeles Clippers led after the first quarter in Game 3 in Dallas, but in the second quarter their offense stalled out and they could never get it started again. The Mavs pulled away to take a 13-point lead at the half and put it in cruise control the rest of the way, as the Clippers never really mounted a charge in the second half. That didn’t mean the final 24 minutes weren’t without some fireworks, they just didn’t come courtesy of the offenses. In the fourth quarter, frustration built for the Clippers, particularly Russell Westbrook who got into it a few times with Luka Doncic ..read more

ESPN Despite blowing a 19-point lead, getting hit with haymaker after haymaker by Khris Middleton, and a less-than-stellar shooting night from behind the three-point line, the Indiana Pacers have a 2-1 lead in their series against the Milwaukee Bucks. In what will go down as one of the best games this postseason, the Pacers picked up a thrilling, 121-118 win in overtime. The crowd in Indiana was revved up from the very start, and the team responded to the energy that filled the building. The Pacers looked primed to run the Bucks out of the gym in the first quarter, as the team’s speed and ruth ..read more

warner bros. M. Night Shyamalan has been spooking (mainstream) audiences since earning Academy Award nominations with 1999’s The Sixth Sense.

Getty Image The exclusive rights window for ESPN and TNT to work out a new deal with the NBA to remain their national broadcast partners passed recently (as expected), and the league has been shopping rights to a number of other networks and streamers. The NBA has not been shy about their desire to look beyond the traditional cable bundle with their new rights deal, and it appears they are close to a deal that will send a significant portion of their national schedule to Amazon. According to Andrew Marchand of The Athletic, the two sides have agreed to the framework of a deal that would give A ..read more

Netflix Stranger Things has been a pop culture staple for the last five-plus years, and there is still one more season left of the supernatural drama, despite the fact that most of the cast is ready for other roles. But the fans have been waiting for years to see the conclusion, and even though there is still a bit of a wait, the final season is starting to shape up. Despite the moderate wait (the last batch of episodes dropped in Summer 2022) the writers team want you to know that it will be worth it, and they even described season five as if “season 1 and 4 had a baby” which was “injected wi ..read more
