Kobe Bryant spent the fourth quarter on the Los Angeles Lakers’ bench, content in watching the second unit blow the game open. The last thing on his mind was Wilt Chamberlain.

Devin Harris seemed to have plenty of room in the lane for layup after layup. And the few times the Utah Jazz tried to shut it down for Harris and the Nets, he either drew a foul or passed it back out to a teammate for an easy shot. Harris had 34 points and six […]

LeBron James expects his team to look to him late in close games. The Cleveland Cavaliers certainly did Saturday night. James scored 11 straight points for Cleveland late in the fourth quarter and finished with 32 in the Cavaliers’ 97-85 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. “They should,” James said. “I have done it in the […]
