The Utah Jazz (3-5) will aim to turn things around when they welcome the Minnesota Timberwolves (4-4) to the Delta Center on Monday night.Utah endured a rough outing on Friday, getting blown out 137-97 by Minnesota in NBA Cup group stage action, their second loss in the tournament.

With that win, Minnesota improved to 5-4 and climbed to third place in the Northwest Division.Here, GOAL brings y...

NBA has target date for launch of European league: What could it look like?

The NBA's interest in expanding its global reach has been well documented, and it goes beyond just playing preseason and regular season games in various countries. Commissioner Adam Silver has talked about the possibility of starting an NBA Europe league on numerous occasions, but there hasn't been much information beyond the league's interest in getting something off the ground. However, some of the league's plans went public Friday when NBA Europe managing director George Aivazoglou spoke at a conference in Milan, Italy.Silver has mentioned that there's been significant ownership interest from "a lot of well known wealthy European families, American families and institutions," and with the backing of the NBA, it's certainly something that could happen in the near future. Silver previousl...

Aston Villa vs Bournemouth predictions: Chris Sutton on Premier League game

Aston Villa were on a really good run until they lost at Liverpool last weekend, and they were quite unlucky at Anfield too.Even so, I find it very difficult to write off Bournemouth in games like this. They can cause any team problems and I always feel like they will score.I admire Unai Emery for sticking to his guns tactically. He has his principles and, even with people talking about teams having success by going direct this season, he hasn't changed his approach.However, that might have given Liverpool a bit of encouragement and it may give Bournemouth some encouragement too.Playing in the Europa League on Thursday won't help Villa either and that toll of games could catch up with them at some point.The Cherries rescued a point with a 96th-minute goal in this fixture last season and I ...

Warriors sparked by Draymond Green’s challenge in runaway win over Pacers

SAN FRANCISCO — Draymond Green wasn’t just airing out some frustration with his team’s recent lackadaisical play after Friday’s blowout loss to Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. He also delivered a message to his teammates following the lifeless performance, one that was revealed following another somewhat shaky win over the injury riddled Indiana Pacers.“I feel like after last game Draymond challenged us to be better,” veteran big man Al Horford said on Sunday after the Warriors ran away from the Pacers for a 114-83 win. “And come out with more intensity, better energy, and I felt like we did that today and it’s something that we have to continue to do every day, every game, because if we do that we’re gonna be in a really good position as a group. But it’s something that has to be con...
