The NBA's return to NBC has been widely celebrated, but it took Tuesday's Warriors game for some fans to discover their biggest gripe with the programming slate: a dreadfully late start time.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver’s beloved in-season tournament, the Emirates Cup, kicks off on Friday. The Golden State Warriors don’t have their first game until Nov. 7, a tough road game against the Denver Nuggets,

The Warriors' consecutive road losses to Milwaukee and Indiana "exposed some of the things we were doing defensively," according to Golden State coach Steve Kerr.

Stephen Curry was loving a matchup between Warriors teammate Pat Spencer and his brother, Cam, during the Grizzlies game.

Indiana has allowed the fewest 3-pointers per game, and the Pacers’ perimeter defense is allowing opponents to shoot just 30.8% from beyond the arc. Indiana’s top-rated 3-point defense should limit Gary Trent Jr., who has hit at least three treys in only one of his last four outings.

Austin Reaves averaged a career-best 20.2 points per game last season, and he ramped it up to 22.8 points per game from February 1 through the end of the regular season. In three games played with Luka and without LeBron, he posted totals of 28, 30, and 22.

MILWAUKEE — As the NBA world heard the news that Giannis Antetokounmpo was a last-minute scratch just before Thursday night’s game because of left knee soreness, the consensus from many was that the Golden State Warriors would cruise to a victory against an undermanned team playing without one of the best players in the game.

We got the matchup we wanted. Curry vs Harden got even better with both teams stacked with some of the most experienced talent in the league. With Golden State hosting the Clippers at Chase Center, the results were something Dub Nation had been waiting for two years.
