While (Joe) Johnson was Mr. Clutch in previous years, he has now been supplanted in the big-shot department by first-year Nets guard Jarrett Jack, who seems to get the lion’s share of touches late in games. That has left Johnson — the league’s third-highest paid player at $23.2 million this season — feeling a bit confused […]
Bobby Dandridge said he was trying to stay emotionless in the hours before his No. 10 jersey was to be retired by the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night. Speaking fondly of his nine seasons with the Bucks, though, the tears that welled up in the 67-year-old’s eyes betrayed him. He paused just once to wipe […]
At least he (LeBron James) was coming back in to beat the Suns, not to set the Cavs’ all-time record for assists.

That said, they have made their interest known and no […]
(LeBron) James was belted again tonight going to the basket by DeMarre Carroll, but I didn’t think it was dirty or flagrant. It was just a good, hard foul. Carroll even made a play on the ball. But when it comes on the heels of the Jonas Valanciunas takedown and the James Harden kick, all […]
In the wake of Wesley Matthews tearing his Achilles tendon on Thursday night, Blazers general manager Neil Olshey made a call to agent Jim Tanner on Friday morning on the chance that (Ray) Allen might reconsider his decision to sit out the 2014-15 season, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
