NBA Sunday: Wolves travel to San Antonio

At the outset of the game, it looked like Cleveland was in pretty good position to take home a third straight win. The Cavs’ offense was humming along, and they led 32-30 after the first quarter. Unfortunately, the team just rolled over after that, tallying just 48 points total over the next three quarters.

Deng, who was brought in to help the offense and provide veteran leadership, tried to offer some advice to the young guys on the team:

San Antonio led by just three at halftime, but they clamped down defensively in the second half and pulled away. The Wolves shot just 35.5 percent overall and 31.3 percent in the second half.

Sacramento made it rain from long range, knocking down 15-of-30 three-pointers. The Kings shot 51.9 percent from the field and outrebounded the Cavs by 18.

It’s clear Ellis had his left arm across both of Rivers’ arms, making it impossible for him to even attempt the shot. Rivers is shooting 32 percent from beyond the and has struggled from the free-throw line, shooting just 62 percent, so there’s no guarantee Rivers would have tied game. There’s zero percent chance he makes a shot while getting arm barred by another player and isn’t given a chance at the free-throw line, though.

And another angle:

It was a nasty fall, but Durant credited the injury scare for sparking his turnaround, reports Anthony Slater of News OK:

It doesn’t look like Sanders swung very hard as the two big men get tangled, but putting your elbow anywhere near another player’s head is a dangerous play .

Sanders is having a tumultuous season after putting up career-high statistics and signing a four-year extension with the Bucks. His rebounding, scoring, blocks, minutes and field goal percentage have all dropped while he’s averaging a career-high 3.7 personal fouls per game.

It was raining buckets in the Verizon Center. No, really, there were rain drops and buckets all over the court as the arena staff tried to stop the chaos one puddle at a time. Folks were on their hands and knees doing all they could to stop the liquid menace:

Meanwhile, Dwight Howard kept himself warm during the delay, getting in some extra reps in the low-post and showing the kind of aggressive moves that make him one of the NBA’s best centers:
