Suns Crash Out Despite NBA’s Highest Payroll

Phoenix Suns
April 10, 2025

The Phoenix Suns, the NBA’s most expensive roster, were officially eliminated from postseason contention after an eighth straight double-digit loss — this time 125-112 to the shorthanded Thunder. They will miss the play-in tournament.
Despite a roster packed with star power and a strong 8-1 start, injuries, inconsistency, and lack of culture-building doomed their season. Durant missed the final five games, Beal struggled with injuries, and coach Budenholzer never found a rhythm. At 35-45, they now face a long offseason and potential shakeups.

Indiana Pacers
April 2025

The Indiana Pacers have won 8 of their last 10 games and look poised for another playoff run, even without injured star Pascal Siakam. They’re playing with chemistry, depth, and postseason focus.
Tyrese Haliburton is averaging 20.4 points and 11.3 assists since the All-Star break, while Myles Turner leads the league in blocks. Indiana’s improved bench, with McConnell, Mathurin, and Toppin, allows them to go nine deep without losing momentum.

Luka Takes the Blame After 3PT Streak Snaps in Costly Loss to Warriors

Luka Doncic (Los Angeles Lakers)
Thursday night, April 3

Luka Doncic scored just 19 points on 6-of-17 shooting in the Lakers’ 123-116 loss to the Warriors, snapping his 114-game 3-point streak. Despite a strong second-half push led by LeBron (33 pts) and Reaves (31 pts), L.A. couldn’t complete the comeback.
Doncic struggled from the floor and went 0-of-6 from deep, breaking one of the longest 3-point streaks in NBA history. LeBron powered a second-half surge with 25 of his 33 after the break, but the Warriors’ swarming defense and early lead proved too much. The Lakers now sit 4th in the West with six games remaining.

He finished with 13 points, 13 rebounds, and 7 assists, all while breaking out in the fourth after a quiet start. Doncic led with 34 points, and Rui Hachimura added 14.

Lakers Slide Continues as Post-Doncic Momentum Fades

Los Angeles Lakers
25 March 2025

Lakers fall to 3-7 in their last 10 games after a 118-106 loss to the Orlando Magic.
Despite a strong start post-Luka Doncic trade, the Lakers are now struggling. Luka Doncic admitted the team got “a little bit satisfied” as their defensive intensity has dropped. Inconsistent third-quarter performances, including being outscored 34-18 by Orlando, are contributing to their skid. Doncic and LeBron James acknowledged their responsibility in leading and refocusing the group. The Lakers sit 4th in the West, only three games ahead of the 7th-place Clippers, with 11 games remaining and three back-to-back

Draymond Green played a key role in Golden State’s 104-93 victory over Milwaukee, holding Giannis Antetokounmpo to 20 points on 5-for-16 shooting. His defensive performance, which included four blocks and two steals, bolstered his case for a second NBA Defensive Player of the Year award.
Green’s smothering defense forced Antetokounmpo into his worst shooting game in two seasons, with Giannis going 0-for-7 when directly contested by Green. The Bucks’ 93 points marked their season low. With Victor Wembanyama out for the season, Green sees an opportunity to win his second DPOY award.
