Patrick Williams may not be headed to Tokyo at the end of this month, but he will be training like it over the next couple of weeks. The Chicago Bulls No. 4 overall pick is currently in Las Vegas as a member of the Team USA Select Team, a 17-man roster of high-profile young players who help train the official Team USA roster. Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra is currently in charge of the young roster, which means he is getting a first-hand look at the progress the 19-year-old has made so far thi...

Chicago is the best basketball city in the world, but you don’t have to take my word for it. Hall of Fame Enshrinement Weekend is underway, and ahead of the ceremony on Saturday, inductees Kevin Garnett and Tamika Catchings gave the city that helped raise them an extra shoutout. “Chicago gave me my swag. It gave me my attitude. It gave me a different presence,” Garnett told reporters. “Playing so many different types of players, so many intense players, so many players that were well-de...

Durant has averaged 31.8 points per game on 47.8 percent shooting from the field and 45.2 percent shooting from downtown over his last four games.

While it’s still highly unlikely the Bulls sneak into the play-in tournament, their two wins in a row combined with a Pacers lost on Saturday has probably kept hope alive in the Bulls locker room.
