Jason Myers Bounces Back After Block

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers got off to a rough start on Sunday in Philadelphia when his first attempted field goal of the game was blocked. The 35-yard attempt was substantially deflected at the line of scrimmage and fell dead off to the right of the play. However, Myers was able to bounce back and […]

Gorgui Dieng Scores Season-High 22 Points Amid Double-Double

Minnesota Timberwolves center Gorgui Dieng feasted upon a decimated Cleveland Cavaliers frontcourt during Sunday’s win, collecting a season-high 22 points to go along with 13 rebounds, six assists and four blocks. Dieng, who remained in the starting five with Karl-Anthony Towns again ruled out, shot 8-for-10 from the field overall, including 4-for-5 from long range; […]

Jadeveon Clowney Leads Seahawks Defense To Win

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was critical in the Seahawks Defense preventing Philadelphia from scoring a single touchdown in Seattle's win on Sunday. Unfortunately, he'll be far more remembered for the brutal hit he laid on Carson Wentz that forced Wentz out of the game due to a concussion. While the initial hit appeared […]

Jacob Hollister Has A Rough Day In Philly

Seattle Seahawks tight end Jacob Hollister had one of the worst games of his career on Sunday. It wasn't just that Hollister only caught two passes for a total of 16 yards. It was that when he wasn't catching passes, he was committing penalties. Hollister got called for a pair of false starts and an […]

Shabazz Napier Logs 21 Points During Efficient Shooting Night

Even with the Minnesota Timberwolves getting back multiple regulars during Sunday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, point/shooting guard Shabazz Napier continued his stretch of stellar play by finishing with 21 points on 8-for-10 shooting. Napier has now reached the 20-point plateau in four consecutive games, the first time that he has done so in his […]

David Moore Comes Up Huge For Seahawks

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore didn't set any records like his teammate D.K. Metcalf did, but he played a huge role in Sunday's win against the Eagles. First, while working as the team's punt returner, Moore made a fair catch on Philly's first punt. However, the Eagles' gunner apparently completely missed it, and he […]

Marshawn Lynch Bashes In Another TD

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch didn't put up a run worthy of decades of highlight reels again, but handshakes were all around as Lynch battered his way through a handful of defenders to plunge his way into the end zone from five yards out. The touchdown run came with just a minute left in […]

RJ Barrett Collects 24 Points During Loss

New York Knicks point/shooting guard RJ Barrett parlayed an efficient 7-for-11 shooting effort into a 24-point outing versus the Los Angeles Clippers during Sunday’s defeat. Barrett’s scoring was boosted by a 9-for-11 showing at the free-throw stripe, the most makes he has had from the line in his young career. He led the team with […]

Travis Homer Struggles In First Playoff Action

Seattle Seahawks running back Travis Homer gave everyone some excitement last week when it looked like he might be able to handle the primary role in the backfield for the Seahawks, but Sunday's game will make everyone think twice. Homer was held to just 12 rushing yards on 11 attempts, fumbled (and recovered it), and […]

Marcus Morris Compiles Career-High 38 Points In Defeat

New York Knicks small/power forward Marcus Morris played the 578th game of his regular-season career during Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers and scored more points -- 38 -- than he ever had before.

Tyler Lockett Plays A Strong Second Fiddle

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett isn't the one getting all the headlines following Sunday night's win over the Eagles, but he put up a fine performance. Lockett finished with four catches for 62 yards on a night when Seattle leaned heavily on their passing game. With the run game all but dead in the […]

D.K. Metcalf Shines On The Big Stage

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf showed he was bigger than the moment on Sunday night when he roasted the Eagles in his first career playoff game. Metcalf set a new NFL record for yards in a rookie's playoff debut by hauling in seven passes for 160 yards and a touchdown. He also shattered Seattle's […]

Paul George Drops 32 Points In 26 Minutes In Return To Lineup

The Los Angeles Clippers got back small/power forward Paul George for Sunday’s win over the New York Knicks after a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. There were many factors that led to the team’s win, but George’s presence was certainly paramount to that, as he compiled 32 points on 9-for-14 shooting -- including […]

Russell Wilson Throws For 325 Yards In Win

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson didn't have the best game of his career on Sunday night in Philadelphia, but he made the throws that he needed to make when he needed to make them. Seattle's running game was pretty much shut down for the duration of the game, outside of Wilson's own scrambles, so Wilson […]

Lou Williams Sinks Season-High Six Threes In 32-Point Effort

Los Angeles Clippers point/shooting guard Lou Williams was in a groove from the field during Sunday’s victory over the New York Knicks, shooting 9-for-18 overall, including 6-for-10 from long range as he compiled 32 points off the bench. Williams may have tied his season high with seven turnovers, but his 8-for-8 performance at the free-throw […]

Montrezl Harrell Drops Career-High 34 Points In Victory

Los Angeles Clippers power forward/center Montrezl Harrell had the best scoring performance of his career during Sunday’s win over the New York Knicks, shooting 13-for-21 off the bench en route to a career-best 34-point night. Without Kawhi Leonard in the mix, Harrell saw an uptick in usage, compiling at least 20 shot attempts for the […]

Vikings Defense Excels Against Saints

The Minnesota Vikings Defense had a superb game in the 26-20 overtime win in the Wild Card round over the New Orleans Saints. Danielle Hunter forced a fumble which Jalyn Holmes recovered, Anthony Harris notched his seventh interception of the year, and the Hunter/Griffen combo combined for 3 sacks on the day. Holding the Saints […]

Robin Lehner Day-To-Day With Injury

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Robin Lehner has been listed as day-to-day after sustaining a knee injury in the third period of a 7-5 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday.

John Gibson Patrolling Crease On Sunday

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson will make his 32nd start of the season as his team takes on the visiting Nashville Predators on Sunday night. The 26-year-old was handed a loss in his last outing versus the Coyotes on Thursday, allowing four goals on 34 shots against (including three alone in the final frame). After […]

Saints Defense Records Three Sacks And Fumble Recovery

The New Orleans Saints Defense posted three sacks and a fumble recovery in a 26-20 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. New Orleans' defense couldn't get a stop in overtime when it mattered most, ending their season. Still, it was a good year for the unit, which ranked third in the NFL in sacks and 13th […]

Wil Lutz Makes Two Field Goals And Two Extra Points

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made two of three field goals and both extra points in a 26-20 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Lutz' one miss at the end of the first half ended up being a critical one, considering the game went to overtime. Still, he was excellent for much of the season, […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Exits Early With Knee Injury

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard/small forward Kevin Porter Jr. departed Sunday’s contest versus the Minnesota Timberwolves in the third quarter with a scary looking knee injury. Porter writhed in agony before being taken to the locker room and ultimately ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Prior to his departure, Porter collected six points on […]

Kyle Rudolph Scores Game-Winner

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Pat Connaughton will miss Monday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs due to a right thigh contusion.
