Celtics Tatum recorded his second career triple-double as the Celtics snapped a two-game losing streak.The Celtics bounced back from their worst loss of the season with one of their better wins - a 124-95 victory over the Mavericks.Here are the takeaways.1.A battle between two of the leading MVP candidates didn't really look like a fair fight, as an ailing Luka Doncic struggled to solve the Celtics' defense (more on this in a minute).

"I don't know," Luka Doncic said after the game."We got kind of lucky."Lucky or not, the Dallas Mavericks had a night for the ages at the American Airlines Center on Tuesday, defeating the New York Knicks 126-121 in OT.It was, again, a night to be written in golden letters inside the history books of Dallas Hoops:


     New York led the game by nine points with 33.9 seconds left on the clock.

The American Airlines Center welcomed the New York Knicks and their point guard Jalen Brunson on Tuesday but they couldn't watch their former player gracing the hardwood.Brunson, who signed with the Knicks last summer to play basketball at MSG in NYC, was forced out of yesterday's game with a right hip injury.

After a league-best start to the 2022-23 season, the Boston Celtics have fallen back to earth with three consecutive inexplicable losses - with two to the Orlando Magic last weekend and a recent dud against the Indiana Pacers at home.Joe Mazzulla isn't particularly worried about it."In moments like this, it's important to trust your guys because they've been through a lot and they've had games like this and they've had bounce back and we've proven to be a really good team," Mazzulla said in a press conference after the December 21 Pacers loss.

BOSTON -- Al Horford left the Celtics in free agency once.He had no interest in doing so a second time.That, Horford said, was the biggest reason why he agreed to a two-year, $20 million extension with Boston Thursday to remain with the franchise through the 2024-25 season."For me, I really did want to be a part of what we have going here," Horford said after the Celtics held shootaround at their practice facility ahead of Friday night's game here against the Miami Heat.

If either Luke Kornet or Blake Griffin saw playing time for the Boston Celtics in the postseason it'd be nothing short of an upset - this, at least, according to MassLive's Brian Robb in his latest Celtics Mailbag.Kornet and Griffin have played in 54 and 27 games, respectively, of the 64 games the Celtics have played this season.

If you've read anything I've written this season, heard even 30 seconds of any podcast I've hosted, followed me for even a few minutes on Twitter or even just walked by me in a grocery store, you probably know how desperate the Lakers are for any wings whatsoever.Due to one helluva series of Friday news dumps, the Lakers somehow are even worse off at that position we ever could've imagined and are looking for answers for at least the next couple weeks.

From all of us here at Silver Screen and Roll, Happy Holidays!We hope this 2022 holiday season is a joyous occasion for you and all of your loved ones.And most of all, we hope the Los Angeles Lakers don't cause you to have a blue Christmas.But if they are affecting your mood, even in the slightest of ways, I wouldn't blame you!

After defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday the New York Knicks are sitting at an even 5-5 record.The franchise is currently eighth in the Eastern Conference standings, good for a high-end seed in the play-in if the season ended today.Of course, that is not the case.But, what if this was already February and the trade deadline was about to hit our schedules?

Trade season is right around the corner.Teams can start trading recently signed, or re-signed, players on December 15.In the past, the New York Knicks have jumped into action early in the trading season.They swapped Dennis Smith, Jr. and a 2021, 2nd-round draft pick (Isaiah Livers was later selected) for Derrick Rose in February 2021, well ahead of the deadline.

The New York Knicks (2-1) will conclude a three-game home stand on Wednesday night when they clash with the Charlotte Hornets (2-1).The Knicks are vibing after dispatching the Detroit Pistons and the Orlando Magic.Granted, those are teams that New York is supposed to beat.The Hornets fall into that category, too.
