After shooting the lights out in the fourth quarter of a road win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday, the Rockets shot 59.3% and hit 7 of 13 3-pointers in the second period of their 135-112 victory over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday -- the latest example of their offensive might.The Rockets continue their three-game homestand on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers in NBA Cup West Group C play, seeking to further burnish their early-season reputation as one of the top offenses in the NBA. The offseason addition of Kevin Durant positioned Houston to take a step forward on offense, but the loss of Fred VanVleet to a season-ending knee injury offered cause for concern."We did have to go about it a different way with the injury to Fred and the new additions that we have," said Houst...

Getty The Los Angeles Lakers picked rookie Adou Thiero from Arkansas 36th overall in the NBA Draft, but a knee injury has kept him from making his debut. The Los Angeles Lakers don’t have a recent history of throwing rookies into the mix on competing teams. Oh, wait, yes, they do (see Bronny James and Dalton Knecht). Regardless, Lakers’ newest rookie Adou Thiero has yet to see action and make his NBA debut after suffering a knee injury while playing collegiately for Arkansas last season. But the most recent update on the first-year player is a positive sign for the team.According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, Thiero is listed as questionable on the Lakers’ injury report for their next game against the New Orleans Pelicans. It...

The 2025 Europa League final may not sound particularly exciting on the surface, but the drastic difference between success and failure on Wednesday night renders the all-English duel unmissable.Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United meet in Bilbao aiming to mask horrific domestic campaigns. While we’ve seen mid-table sides prevail in this competition as of late, such as Eintracht Frankfurt (11th in the Bundesliga) in 2021–22 and Sevilla (12th in La Liga) in 2022–23, the upcoming final will either serve as salvation or one last humiliation for the participants. These are the Premier League’s two worst-performing non-relegated teams. The scale of their underperformance has made history, and the extent of their domestic misery will be brought to light should they succumb in Bilbao. In the a...

Two of England’s worst-performing soccer teams have somehow found themselves in a high-stakes European tournament final. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, who’ve served up shambolic displays in the English Premier League all year, will square off in the Europa League final Wednesday in Bilbao, Spain. The winner clinches automatic qualification for the prestigious European Champions League and the multimillion-dollar payout that comes with it. It’s difficult to overstate how abysmal these iconic soccer teams have been in the English Premier League this season. Manchester United is 16th in the table, barely above the relegation zone. Its much-maligned Cameroonian goalkeeper, Andre Onana, has been prone to calamitous mistakes. And its forward line, spearheaded by Danish striker Rasmus ...
