While the Hornets have had their fair share of hiccups across the 2024-25 campaign, they managed to take care of business on Saturday night vs. the Brooklyn Nets in a narrow 102-105 victory, effectively helping the Jazz out in a major way during the process.

Smart and the Wizards held Brooklyn to 12 points in the fourth quarter of their 107-99 victory over the Nets on Monday night. Washington was the only team in the NBA that hadn’t kept an opponent in double digits this season, but the Wizards finally did it in Smart’s second game with them.

The in-season turnover of the Dallas Mavericks continues. After reports came out a few days ago that Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Alex Jensen was a leading candidate for the University of Utah's head coaching job, Jensen has now been offered and accepted that position, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel.
