NBA scores and schedule: Warriors handle Cavaliers at home.

The night belonged to Wall, however. He was superb while outplaying of his point guard counterpart. Rose had 19 points, but only two assists and four turnovers. He shot 1-for-7 from three and was, no surprise, a minus-21 on the night. Wall, meanwhile, was a plus-25 and had just four turnovers compared to 12 assists. Even when he wan’t getting the assist in stat sheet, he was facilitating on the court:

Bullets Forever took a deep look at what happens when John Wall leaves his feet to make a pass, a faux pas of basketball fundamentals. The results were mostly negative -- if the pass Wall is planning to make isn’t there, he has to rush through his next few options while falling to the ground. But, as pointed out in the piece, Wall is also athletic enough to pull off a remarkable pass on occasion.

First: Marc Gasol. Now: DeMarcus Cousins. Next for the rookie Nuggets center: telling Godzilla to bring it on.

Mark Jackson is back in Oakland on Friday to call the Cavaliers-Warriors game for TNT. He got a standing ovation from his old friends, big screen and all:

He’s so much faster than everyone else that he’s picked a different form of locomotion to make things fair:

OR ... he’s celebrating a Rasual Butler three against the Bulls by mimicking Derrick Rose’s signature move:

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope took SIXTEEN threes in the Pistons’ loss to the Hawks, five(!) of them in the last two minutes. Here are two ridiculous ones via bballbreakdown:

Quality defense, Brooklyn Nets. Meanwhile ... the 76ers have six wins! Heck of a moment for Nerlens Noel.

I don’t blame Mike Breen for thinking John Wall lost the ball. What player actually pulls off a move like this in an NBA game?

The many neutral NBA fans that aren’t watching the Pacers and the Celtics missed an amazing game-tying three from Avery Bradley. David West missed a potential game-winner after this, so we’re heading to overtime. Don’t all rush to change the channel at once.

(Nice screen the screener set to free Bradley, Brad Stevens).

Uh, Trevor Booker might be a genius?

The shot clock had just tenths of a second on it, so Booker did the only thing he could do: Tap the ball toward the rim. Backward. Over his head. Underhanded. With just his fingertips. Off the bounce. From a good 8 feet away. It’s like a messed-up volleyball set, and it went in the damn basket.
