This is the breakout rookie for the Sacramento Kings who has been tremendous since becoming the starting point guard. After posting 23 points, eight rebounds, and 11 assists in his first start, he followed up with 24 points on 5-for-8 shooting from 3-point range, and five assists. Although the Kings fell

Perkins: Heat playing best ever in Big Three Era

by

MIAMI – The Miami Heat have been playing better than ever during the past 10 days. Think about that. Better than ever. Last season the Heat had stretches in which they won 21 of 22 games, and 15 of 18 games. Yet this is the best stretch ever. That’s not me talking, that’s Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. The Heat are on a six-game winning streak over the past 10 days, and five of those wins were blowout victories on the road. Those

Manu Ginobili (oblique strain) and Tiago Splitter (calf strain) both suffered injuries in Saturday’s 103-100 win over

by

Pau Gasol is staying right where he has been all season — on the trading block. Los Angeles Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak made that clear Monday night in the wake of my report that Derrick Rose let it be known to Bulls management that he would welcome a trade that would bring Gasol to Chicago — a deal that would likely include Carlos Boozer and another player being sent from the Bulls to the Lakers. “As a former player, I understand
