Olympiacos has filed an official petition with the Euroleague to nullify Montepaschi Siena’s 74-72 win on Friday. Bobby Brown’s game-winning lay-up with 1.7 seconds left wouldn’t have counted, says the Greek club, if the clock hadn’t been stuck at 10 seconds for several ticks with the game tied at 72.

Hubbard: Dick Motta deserves to be in Hall of Fame
In NBA history, only 10 coaches have won more games than Dick Motta, although that is misleading. When he left the NBA after the 1996-97 season, his 935 victories were the third-most. He’s been passed by seven coaches while not coaching. [Read more…]
Bauman: A week in Boston; And What a Week it Was
BOSTON — What a week, what a week, in Beantown. From Rajon Rondo’s 17-point, 12-assist, 10-rebound performance in a win over the lowly Charlotte Bobcats on Monday, to the Doc-Austin Rivers father-son reunion on Wednesday, to the Marco Belinelli game-winning fall-away last night in overtime to give the Bulls a 100-99 victory, it was quite an entertaining week at TD Garden.

Hamilton: With Stoudemire and Shumpert, Best is Yet to Come for Knicks
NEW YORK — Is it possible that we haven’t seen the New York Knicks play their best basketball yet? I’m going to have to say “yes” to this one. That seems a bit strange considering Carmelo Anthony’s MVP-caliber season and the team’s 25-13 record. [Read more…]
Rosen: Breaking down Spurs’ blowout over Grizzlies
The accepted conventional wisdom is that either the Clippers or the Thunder will ultimately represent the West in the finals. However, partisans of the Spurs and the Grizzlies believe that their respective teams are also legitimate contenders for the Western Conference crown. Me? I’d say last night’s 103-82 taming of the Grizz is a microcosm of why San Antonio is the true dark horse in this particular race. [Read more…]
Bauman: Kevin Garnett has come full circle
When Kevin Garnett came into the NBA as the fourth preps-to-pros phenom, he was a gangly, 6-11, 220 pound player with unmistakable skills and a burning passion and insatiable appetite for the game of basketball. He entered the league when Patrick Ewing was a dominant player, and last night his 15 points against New Orleans moved him past Patrick Ewing for 16th on the all-time scoring list. [Read more…]
