Facing his former team, Kevin Durant made sure the ending stung. Durant drilled a game-winning three with one second remaining to lift the Rockets past the Suns on Monday, and he didn’t hide how much the moment meant.
With James Harden a late scratch, rookie Kobe Sanders steps in and scores a career-high 20 points and had seven rebounds in the Clippers' win Monday night.
The Los Angeles Clippers are in the midst of a disastrous season. After back-to-back losses on their East Coast trip, they are 4-10 for the season and are already five games behind the sixth-seed, also known as a guaranteed playoff spot.
After putting together an incredibly impressive offseason, the LA Clippers could be real contenders in the 2025-26 campaign. To help bolster a team built around Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, the Clippers brought in veterans Bradley Beal, Chris Paul and Brook Lopez without giving up a single asset.
Kobe Sanders spent his final season of college basketball at Nevada. The 23-year-old finished the year with averages of 15.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 46.0% from the field and 34.2% from the three-point range in 33 games.
