Nuggets vow to 'bring it' after Game 2 embarrassment

1 week ago | yardbarker.com | Sai Mohan

Denver Nuggets interim head coach David Adelman believes his team was "punked" by the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 2 of their Western Conference semifinals, and rightfully so. The Thunder set all sorts of records in their 149-106 win, including the highest-scoring first half ever, a franchise points record and the highest individual plus-minus (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) in NBA history. The Nuggets can go nowhere but up after one of the worst losses in franchise history.
LeBron James once again shades Lakers' front office

The Los Angeles Lakers entered their first-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves as overwhelming favorites, but were forced to eat humble pie after a 4-1 defeat. In the aftermath of their loss, many blamed the shortcomings of Luka Doncic and LeBron James, the Lakers' famed star duo, for shrinking under pressure. Both produced their typical counting stats, averaging 30.2 and 25.4 points on efficient shooting splits, respectively.
Jonathan Kuminga could be X factor for Warriors going forward

With Stephen Curry sidelined, the Golden State Warriors' offense looked stagnant in their 117-93 Game 2 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. But even in defeat, the Warriors may have unearthed their X factor for the remainder of the 2025 NBA playoffs — Jonathan Kuminga. The fourth-year forward had a team-high 18 points on 8-of-11 shooting, proving a spark to Golden State's offense in his 26 minutes on the floor.
Mikal Bridges proving why the Knicks gave up the farm for him

1 week ago | yardbarker.com | Sai Mohan

The Knicks gave up five first-round picks for Mikal Bridges, the sort of haul teams typically give up for All-Star or All-NBA players. Many felt the franchise was bananas for sacrificing the farm for a role player such as Bridges, a career 14.8 points-per-game scorer. Two games into the Knicks-Celtics playoff series, Bridges has proven his worth, making Knicks president Leon Rose and his front office personnel look like geniuses.
Draymond Green rips 'agenda' to portray him as 'an angry Black man'

1 week ago | yardbarker.com | Sai Mohan

Draymond Green picked up his fifth technical foul of the 2025 NBA playoffs during the Warriors' 117-93 Game 2 loss to the Timberwolves on Thursday. The incident occurred early in the second quarter when Timberwolves big Naz Reid fouled Green at the top of the key. Green flailed and elbowed Reid in the head. The referees reviewed the play and slapped Green with a dead-ball technical foul. The call left Green irate, with Stephen Curry, Steve Kerr and other Warriors trying to calm him down.
Why Knicks owe Pistons gratitude for playoff success

1 week ago | yardbarker.com | Sai Mohan

In the regular season, the Knicks were a finesse team that relied more on offense than defense, an unusual assessment of a Tom Thibodeau-led team. Much of that was due to New York losing Julius Randle, Isaiah Hartenstein and Donte DiVincenzo in the offseason, and not having Mitchell Robinson through two-thirds of the season. The Knicks had lost their defensive grit and became too comfortable in 130-128-type shootouts. They needed someone to push them to their physical limits and wake them up.
Celtics make unwanted NBA history in Game 2 collapse

1 week ago | yardbarker.com | Sai Mohan

Much of the Celtics' collapses can be attributed to their shoddy fourth-quarter performances. In Games 1 and 2, the C's shot 5-of-19 from the floor and 4-of-26 from three in the final 12 minutes, getting outscored 55-33 by the Knicks. In Wednesday's Game 2 loss, the defending champions didn't make a field goal from 8:40 in the fourth quarter until the 0:18 mark when Jayson Tatum ended the rut with a driving dunk.
What 2-0 hole? Here come the Road Celtics

1 week ago | yardbarker.com | Sai Mohan

Those who've closely followed the Celtics in recent years know they thrive — and play better — on the road. During the 2024-25 regular season, the reigning NBA champs finished 33-8 in away fixtures, the third-greatest road record in NBA history. The C's could have clinched the best away record ever if they hadn't rested their starters through the season's final week.
Every record Thunder broke in historic rout of Nuggets

1 week ago | yardbarker.com | Sai Mohan

When the top-seeded Thunder obliterated the Nuggets in Game 2 on Wednesday, they demonstrated they're not the 2007 Mavericks or 2015 Hawks — a regular-season juggernaut that fizzles out in the playoffs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Co. proved they are legit. After their heartbreaking Game 1 loss, the Thunder marched in like gangbusters and smacked the Nuggets in ways few teams have in playoff history. Here is a list of every record/feat OKC broke on Wednesday.
Celtics' Mitchell Robinson strategy blows up in their face

1 week ago | yardbarker.com | Sai Mohan

Robinson is a +16 through the first two games — by far the best plus/minus among players from both teams. The Knicks have thrown the Celtics off guard by fielding Robinson and Karl-Anthony Towns in double-big lineups. As a result, they're no longer playing in drop coverage and instead switching onto Boston's shooters on the three-point line.
