After a start to the season where the headlines demanded our attention off the court, the focus is coming back to the product on the court. And what a product the NBA has right now. Every night it feels like there are at least two to three (if not more!) genuinely fun games to dive into, and with the resurgence of the Eastern Conference, they are often spread throughout the night for maximum viewing pleasure.
Saturday night has 16 teams in action, with, as promised, several fun matchups, including the surprise Portland Trail Blazers (9-3) heading to Dallas trying to keep the good vibes going against the Mavericks (6-5).
Most folks would likely have guessed those two records would be switched in the early season, so let’s see what’s been going on with these two.
