The fans and spectators have shown a lot of love to the NBA and their new initiative: In-Season Tournament. However, as the regular season and the in-season tournament are going on simultaneously, it is becoming very strenuous for the athletes. So on the 3rd of December, the NBA has planned a strategic timeout for all the 30 teams in the league who are well-deserving of this break.
The league intentionally placed this break in the middle of the first NBA In-Season Tournament, giving players an important break before the quarterfinals begin on December 4th.

It looks like Chris Paul will get a long rest without having to miss any games, after all. The Warriors lost to the Kings 123-124 tonight. But what fans and social media just cannot understand is why Steve Kerr would bench a hot Moses Moody in the fourth quarter, and still keep Klay Thompson on the floor.
The entire fiasco is making rounds on the internet, getting rave reactions from fans. While some are astonished, there’s one fan who has a new nickname for Thompson.

With Draymond Green back, the Warriors are looking to clinch that spot in the Quarter-Finals. But they just got a major injury scare in the form of Chris Paul. During the game, Paul was injured and had to retreat to the locker room due to lower left leg soreness.
Entering the night, CP3 averaged 9.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 7.7 assists. Whether he will return is yet to be seen.

The Sacramento Kings claimed victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves with 124-111 tonight. Starting off great, the Kings led the first quarter with 38-31. De’Aaron Fox stole the spotlight throughout the night, as he came forward to help with the team. The most impressive feat was in the second quarter when he landed a monster dunk over all four Timberwolves defenders looking on.
It must be what set the tone for the crowd in Minneapolis. By the fourth quarter, the proud Kings fans were chanting “Light the beam”.

The Golden State Warriors have not had a great start this season and faced multiple challenges. However, in their recent matchup against the Houston Rockets, they were able to assert their dominance. Stephen Curry managed to score 32 points which might not be a big number for the star, but it was very crucial for his team at this stage. That’s because it was Curry’s efficiency that led the Warriors to this crucial victory. Although Curry had a big role in the victory of the Warriors, the fans’ attention was on the other half of the Splash Brothers.

Skip Bayless is one of the most popular sports analysts out there. Another thing he is famous for, arguably even more than being an analyst, is his critiquing of LeBron James. Pretty much at every turn. Though he has said that he does not hate the “King”, Skip isn’t the biggest fan of the whole greatest-player-of-all-time hype.
In his most recent tweet, Bayless is taking a dig at James once again. Unsurprisingly. This time he has hit it closer home, more specifically, Bron’s love for getting in early workouts in the gym.

Anthony Davis of the Lakers has been a beacon of light for the team. Though he has been riddled with injuries recently, AD has shined through when his team needed him the most. Their game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday was the perfect example. Without LeBron James to pull the weight, the purple and gold needed to get their game faces on. And the result was an astounding 134 against the Grizzlies’ 107.
The Lakers finally looked like the team we all know them for. Wednesday’s back-to-back against the Sacramento Kings is an opportunity for them to build on their newfound confidence.

Keegan Murray has been worth every dime for the Sacramento Kings. Gaining victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers with a stunning 132-120, Murray was just behind De’Aaron Fox in the points department. Since the Kings drafted him, top names in the NBA, including Thompson and George, have praised the young forward’s skills.
And now, with a five-game victory in the in-season tournament, Murray continues his onslaught. Coach Mike Brown said as much post-game.

Charles Barkley wasted no time in delivering a scorching-hot take this season. It took him just 24 minutes of play during the Golden State Warriors matchup against the Phoenix Suns. The Warriors were trailing 61-46 at halftime and missing their on-court orchestrator, Draymond Green. While rendering an early game analysis, Chuck proclaimed the Suns as the victors. Furthermore, he declared that “The Warriors are cooked.”
While Chuck’s siding appeared to be on the mark, Dubsnation deserves plenty of credit. In the third quarter of that game, the Warriors outscored the Phoenix Suns 40-19. Since th ..read more

The Golden State Warriors will host their Northern California foes, the Sacramento Kings, in their home opener tonight at the Chase Center. The De’Aaron Fox-led Sacramento Kings look like a formidable fit this season, having only lost one game in their three opening games. However, their lone loss this season came at the hands of the Golden State Warriors. Moreover, the Warriors also prevailed over the Kings in a thrilling 4-3 series during the Western Conference Playoffs Round 1 last season. This sets the stage for the Kings to seek redemption and prove their mettle against their Pacific Divi ..read more
