On Thursday evening, the Houston Rockets lost their second consecutive game, once again, to the Los Angeles Lakers at home. It was another tough performance from the Rockets’ offense, which scored only 24 points in the final frame.

Tari Eason once again struggled beyond the arc In this game, the lead is 0-3. In fact, Eason is just 1-28 on three-pointers in the month of March, good for an astonishing 3.6 percent.

Eason’s last lead from three-point range came on March 5 in a loss to the Golden State Warriors. Eason was once regarded as an elite spot-up shooter, and he’s still averaging over 37 percent from beyond the arc on the season, showing how well he was shooting the ball from that range before his current epic slump.

However, if he and the Rockets want to turn things around going into the playoffs, he will need to rediscover that shooting touch sooner rather than later.

Meanwhile, it was a second disappointing home defeat for the Rockets against the Lakers, leaving them completely behind the eight ball in their quest to clinch the third seed in the Western Conference, which Los Angeles is currently chasing.

The Rockets are now 41-27 on the season, and their offensive troubles in the clutch are certainly not going to ease fans’ concerns about their chances of postseason success.

It was also another quiet game for Kevin Durant, scoring 18 points on only 11 shot attempts, with the Lakers’ suddenly superior defense once again stifling him.

Houston will look to bounce back their winning streak when they next face the Atlanta Hawks on Friday evening.

The Philadelphia 76ers take on the Miami Heat on Thursday. During the contest, star guard Tyrese Maxey made franchise history by surpassing one of Allen Iverson’s team records.

After scoring a three-pointer at the end of the first quarter, Maxey surpassed Iverson’s three-pointer record for the 76ers. Iverson initially set the record with 885 three-pointers during his time in Philadelphia.

“Tyreese Maxey passes Allen Iverson for most 3-point field goals in 76ers history.”

Maxi will have the opportunity to continue adding to his franchise record. Especially considering that the six-year veteran signed a five-year, $204 million contract through the summer of 2024. That deal locks him in Philadelphia through the 2028-29 campaign.

The 25-year-old guard has emerged as a superstar in Philadelphia since joining the club in 2020. He ultimately had a breakout year in the 2023–24 campaign, earning the Most Improved Player of the Year award for his efforts.

Tyrese Maxey continues to play at a high level, as he entered Thursday’s game averaging 29.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 2.0 steals per game, while shooting 46.7% from the field and 37.5% from beyond the three-point line. His performances this season earned him the second All-Star award of his career.

Maxi broke Iverson’s record which was set in the 2009–10 season. It took almost 16 years to break that franchise record. Tyrese Maxey was able to surpass Allen Iverson’s three-point record in just six seasons, while it took the 76ers legend just over 10 seasons to reach 885 three-pointers. However, the game has changed significantly since then, as players shoot more threes than ever before.

The Boston Celtics take on the Golden State Warriors in the woodshed at San Francisco’s Chase Center on Thursday, with Peyton Pritchard adding even more to his team’s incredible evening.

Pritchard moved ahead on the franchise’s all-time 3-pointers list, passing the legendary Ray Allen for the No. 6 spot via Boston coverage manager Taylor Snow.

Former Oregon Ducks star Pritchard entered the Warriors game with 797 3-pointers in his NBA career with Boston, and Allen needed only one to tie the franchise list.

The 28-year-old Prichard has played all of his years in the NBA in Celtics colors, and he has developed into one of the team’s more reliable offensive weapons.

With Jayson Tatum still out due to injury, Pritchard has seen increased playing time and has been rewarded by providing consistent scoring for Boston, mostly as a starter. During his first 53 games in the 2025–26 NBA season, Prichard averaged 17.2 points (career-high), 4.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists, while draining 2.6 3-pointers per outing.

Opposing defenses have paid more attention to Pritchard amid Tatum’s absence. But he’s still providing consistent offensive performance for the Celtics, who remain one of the league’s best teams despite Tatum’s injury.

Pritchard, whose current contract with Boston does not expire until the summer of 2028, can continue to compile more 3-point shots. Right above him on the list is Marcus Smart, who drained a total of 911 3-pointers as a Celtic.

Paul Pierce is the Boston franchise’s all-time leader in 3-pointers with 1,823.
