NBA schedule and results: Warriors fall to Jazz, Hawks win 18th straight

In all, six players scored in double figures for the Hawks. It was the sixth straight game in which at least five Hawks scored in double digits. In the current 18-game winning streak, five players have scored at least 10 points in 14 of those games. With a roster full of capable players and an offense of selfless ball movement, it’s easy for a new hero to emerge every night.

Derrick Rose has been making headlines more for his scoring than his passing as of late, but the guy can still distribute. This play happens quickly out of the jump ball. Rose’s court vision and quick thinking can’t be praised enough on this possession. Most impressive, though, is that Jimmy Butler turned that into an alley-oop. Rose zinged the pass toward the bucket and the athleticism of Butler allowed him to snag it out of the air at the exact right moment to slam it home all in one motion.

This is the type of basketball you expect out of the Suns, but not the Bulls. Something about being in Phoenix inspires Chicago to throw down.

The Sixers are feeling pretty good about themselves after beating the T-Wolves on Friday night to extend their win streak to TWO games.

In all fairness, a two game win streak for the 10-37 Sixers is kind of a big deal ... but damn, that’s cold.

Just because LeBron’s busy playing basketball doesn’t mean he doesn’t have time to be a gentleman.

What a sweetheart.

Not one, not two, but THREE MISSES! ... and a foul. Yikes.

Don’t let us keep you awake James.

Do what you gotta do J.R.

Lopez has a long history of run-ins with mascots including multiple incidents with the Pistons mascot, and an altercation with the Spurs mascot as well.

CLEARLY, he’s a menace that must be stopped.

The image had text that said: “Be so good they can’t ignore you,” and he wrote this in the caption:

Lillard is posting better numbers this year than he did in 2014, when he was an All-Star. In 46 games this year, he’s averaging 21.8 points and 6.2 assists while shooting 43.4 percent from the field. At 32-14, the Blazers have the fourth-best record in the league and are the third seed in the Western Conference. His quote above is powerful and totally true -- by all accounts, Lillard is a great guy and someone the NBA should be proud of representing their sport for the next decade.
