Morant and Nembhard were caught on video jawing each other in the third quarter of the contest.

Apparently, Pacers coaches complained about Tee and Davonte since they kept talking to the players.

The Los Angeles Clippers have been highly aggressive in their pursuit of point guard help and star forward Kawhi Leonard has plenty to do with that. “Leonard has made it clear to the Clippers front office that he would welcome a point guard addition,” Action Network’s Matt Moore relays. “It’s no surprise that two of his former teammates on his championship [Toronto] Raptors team, [Kyle] Lowry and [Fred] VanVleet, are on their short list of targets.”

It’s no secret that Stephen Curry is the engine that powers the Golden State Warriors. From the moment he became a superstar, the sweet-shooting guard has been the face of the team for so long. His talents presents an interesting conundrum for Steve Kerr though. Should Kerr try and limit Curry’s minutes to get him ready for the actual big games? Well, based on Curry’s comments after the Warriors’ win (courtesy of Steve Berman), it seems like he would not want that.

Denver head coach Michael Malone certainly didn’t like that, especially since it’s just one game. As Malone highlighted, one game should...

At the moment, the Boston Celtics are still sitting on the best record in the entire league with 35 wins against just 15 losses. Despite their supremacy, however, Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens refuses to rest on his laurels.

Mason Plumlee has been the subject of trade rumors surrounding the Charlotte Hornets this season and for good reason. Plumlee is having a very productive season, one of the best of his career, but it hasn’t done much to translate to wins on a Hornets team that is going nowhere fast this season. That’s not really a knock on Plumlee, just that his play would probably be better suited to coming off the bench for a playoff team. There are a couple of teams that could use a quality backup center and that’s what Plumlee is. His play this season has been very good to the point where he is even setting NBA records in front of the man who holds a lot of them in Hornets owner Michael Jordan. As per the Hornets broadcast team, Plumlee has had the greatest shooting stretch of a 20 game period in league history at 77 percent.

The Los Angeles Lakers lost a heartbreaker to the Boston Celtics on Saturday in overtime and probably should’ve won in regulation.
