Jaylin Williams just challenged Josh Giddey to dunk after Giddey finished warm ups “two hands two foot?!” Grant Gibbs had the same reaction I did in my head “oooo”. Josh did the Dunk and walked off. Jaylin said if Giddey pulls that out, he needs to hang on the rim next time. – 6:32 PM

As the Thunder prepares to host the Cavaliers, some of the areas of focus lie on the defensive end including a heavy emphasis on boxing out and not allowing second chance points.

James Dolan, on WFAN, if the “meddlesome” version of James Dolan would have forced his front office to make a trade for Donovan Mitchell? “Not in the last 10 years.”
Dolan says his views have changed, and that he has to leave the decision making to the decision makers he’s hired – 3:26 PM

After tonight the #Cavs will have just one more game outside the Eastern Time Zone the rest of the season (Feb. 10 in New Orleans). Pretty significant for them that the only time they’re west of Cleveland after the All-Star break is for two games in Atlanta. – 2:15 PM
