We have Stupid Power Rankings returning after a week off. We take 10 things from the NBA and WNBA in the last 10 days or so (due to the break) and rank them however I please!
Arike Ogunbowale scores 39 points, including the game-tying three that sent it to overtime. The Wings beat the Mystics in that extra period.
The Milwaukee Bucks lost Giannis Antetokounmpo in the second quarter but managed to hold off elimination, thanks to Khris Middleton.
The Connecticut Sun have gone 9-5 since their 0-5 start. They just haven’t beaten any of the top teams, though, to scare anyone in a potential playoff run.
The Raptors were down, 0-2, to the Celtics. Two games later, they are now tied. And the Denver Nuggets woke up.
We’ve already had so many buzzerbeaters in basketball recently. Let’s add another one with Jewell Loyd’s three.
The Miami Heat once again took it to the Milwaukee Bucks. They now have a commanding 3-0 series lead against the deer.
Diana Taurasi made 8 three-pointers while Skylar Diggins-Smith went for 28 to help Phoenix clinch a playoff berth.
In ANOTHER close game, the Raptors beat the Celtics with a three in literally half a second.
Damiris Dantas scores 28 points as the Minnesota Lynx beat the Chicago Sky and continue to have a surprisingly solid season.
James Harden and Lu Dort apparently switched bodies and the Rockets came out on top to eliminate OKC.
Chennedy Carter scored 22 points in the Atlanta Dream’s win over the Indiana Fever. Carter is definitely a candidate for Rookie of the Year.
It wasn’t the scoring showcase we were used to but Jamal Murray’s Nuggets and Donovan Mitchell’s Jazz gave us a hell of a Game 7.
Courtney Vandersloot dishes out 18 assists, the most ever in a WNBA game. She breaks yet another assists record.
Jimmy Butler scores 40 points to help the Heat surprise the Bucks. And Chris Paul doesn’t want to go home just yet.
We’ve said that the Seattle Storm and the Las Vegas Aces were unstoppable. But the Los Angeles Sparks have won 9 straight.
