LOS ANGELES (AP) — Stephen Curry scored 31 points in his return to Golden State’s lineup, Klay Thompson added 26 off the bench and the Warriors beat the Los Angeles Lakers 128-121 on Saturday night in a pivotal Western Conference matchup. LeBron James had 40 points, nine assists and eight rebounds for the Lakers, who had to play without Anthony Davis for the final three quarters after he suffered an eye injury.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Jalen Brunson scored 42 points, becoming the fourth player in franchise history with 40 or more in consecutive games, and the New York Knicks beat the Sacramento Kings 98-91 on Saturday night. Brunson had 45 points in Thursday’s win at Portland, his seventh 40-point game of the season. He’s the first Knicks player to reach that total in back-to-back games since Carmelo Anthony on Feb. 19 and 21, 2014.

On Saturday, Kent State lost out on a potential trip to the NCAA men’s tournament in one of the wildest ways you will ever see.
The Golden Flashes led Akron in the closing seconds of the MAC tournament championship when guard Julius Rollins fouled Zips guard Greg Tribble. Tribble then stepped up to the free-throw line and hit a pair of foul shots to send Akron to the Big Dance for the second time in three years.
Senderoff’s emotional reaction to Rollins’s mistake drew a lot of attention, but the coach was quick to back his player in the game’s aftermath.

Dan Monson will coach in the NCAA tournament, then be out of a job.

Long Beach State entered the 2024 Big West men’s tournament a bit adrift. The once-proud Beach finished the regular season 17-14; they’d lost their last five games and an early victory over Michigan had proven misleading.
They responded by parting ways with coach Dan Monson—a veteran of the coaching ranks who helped mold Gonzaga into a proto-national power in the late 1990s. He would be allowed to coach his team in the conference tournament but would not return in 2025.
How did he respond? By leading Long Beach State to the NCAA tournament.

When the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers—and their stars, guard Stephen Curry and forward LeBron James—get together, NBA fans often wish the matchup would never end.
On Saturday, it nearly happened.
The Warriors defeated the Lakers 128-121 in a game marred by its final two minutes, which took an astounding 23 minutes and 27 seconds of real time to complete.
Yes, you read that right.
The culprits included three coach’s challenges—all in the span of two seconds of game time—and a malfunctioning shot clock.

North Carolina State head men’s basketball coach Kevin Keatts returned a veteran roster that was expected to make an NCAA men’s tournament appearance this season.
However, a rocky regular season left the Wolfpack needing to capture the conference title to make the NCAA tournament. The disappointing regular season and potential missed tournament berth had Keatts’s seat warming quickly.
Consider all of that water under the bridge. 
The Wolfpack traveled to Washington D.C. for the ACC tournament and won five games in five nights, culminating with an 84–76 victory over No.

The NC State Wolfpack entered the fray at the ACC tournament this week as a 10-seed, needing to win the conference title to punch its ticket to March Madness.
And all the Wolfpack did was win five games in five consecutive nights, culminating with an 84–76 victory over No. 1 seed North Carolina on Saturday night in Washington D.C..
With the win, NC State captured its first ACC title since 1987.
Wolfpack guard DJ Horne finished with 29 points and four rebounds, while forward DJ Burns Jr added 20 points, seven assists and four rebounds of his own.

Is there such a thing as a scandalous Cinderella? If so, the Temple Owls are auditioning for the part.
In the kind of bizarre development that seems almost routine in college sports these days, Temple is threatening to wreak chaos upon the NCAA men’s tournament. With a victory Sunday, the Owls would become one of the most controversial participants in the 85-year history of the beloved sporting event. It has been a wild 10 days for the Philadelphia school.
On March 7, Temple lost a home game to the UAB Blazers by 28 points. Earlier in the day, the gambling watchdog firm U.S.
