NEW YORK — The NBA’s VP of violence has spoken, and the latest instance of violence in the Association will not go unpunished. Indiana’s Roy Hibbert and Golden State’s David Lee have each been suspended one game without pay for instigating an altercation that spilled into the stands at Bankers Life Fieldhouse during the Pacers’ victory over Golden State on Tuesday night.

While most of the world was watching “Argo” win best picture at the 85th Annual Academy Awards, nine games were on the NBA schedule. The Knicks and Warriors gave their fans a break from their “Les Miserables” recent struggles with wins, the Heat completed another fourth quarter comeback from their “Silver Linings Playbook” to defeat the Cavaliers again and the Thunder continued their “Life of Pi” with a dynamic defensive performance against the Bulls. In honor of Tony Mendez, we present Sunday’s
The San Antonio Spurs are currently in the midst of a five-game win streak, extending their league-best 44-12 (.786%) overall record by six games in the wins column and 2 games in the loss column over the Eastern Conference’s Miami Heat, who sit at 38-14 (.731%). According to their head coach, Gregg Popovich, none of that matters. [Read more…]
