NBA Sunday: Kings, Knicks, Warriors get big victories

Here’s the play in real time, where it looks a little closer to five seconds than the one with announcer Mike Breen counting. But it still appears that Williams released the ball before the referee’s fifth finger comes up.

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist suffered a rib contusion after falling hard on his right shoulder fighting for a rebound against Shane Larkin during the first quarter of his team’s game against the Knicks, the team announced.

Kidd-Gilchrist had left the game to get a CT scan, according to Hornets sideline reporter Stephanie Ready.

This appears to be Sacramento Kings reserve Ryan Hollins shouting at a wide-open J.J. Redick from the bench on a pivotal wide-open three that would have given the Clippers the lead with just over two minutes remaining. The Kings broadcasters noted that Redick almost never misses that shot. Perhaps Hollins’ yelling was why.

We point this out for a couple reasons:

We’re assuming it’s J.R. Smith that was caught saying “OH S***” because he committed the turnover that left Gary Neal this open for a three. Just a guess, though.

Josh McRoberts was really upset on Sunday night. Perhaps he was a little too upset. Either that or he decided to be Hulk Hogan for Halloween and wanted to make sure everyone saw his costume on a really bright stage. That’s probably not accurate.

Poor guy immediately regretted his decision.
