Bulls and Blazers combined for worst NBA sequence of the year, and it somehow kept going

This is performance art from the Bulls and Blazers

The cross-conference rivalry between the Chicago Bulls and Portland Trail Blazers was once so good that a video game was made out of it. These days, the franchises are closer to mirror images of each other in terms of being stuck in mediocrity. Chicago and Portland each entered their Friday night matchup with 34 wins, which is good enough for the Bulls to make the play-in tournament in the East, but not for the Blazers in the...

Matt Krohn-Imagn Images

After Unrivaled had many of the WNBA’s best players join its first season, some are still recovering from injuries they suffered in Miami.

Unrivaled celebrated its inaugural season earlier this year, with Rose Basketball Club winning their first championship. But one unfortunate thread through Unrivaled’s season was a string of injuries that caused the league to dip into their pool of reserve players.

A star factory at the heart of our galaxy is mysterious and important

About 200 light-years from the black hole at the center of the Milky Way lies a region that isn't as fertile as scientists would think. 

This star-forming cloud of gas and dust, Sagittarius C, is brimming with all of the material to make star babies, yet its yield of new stars remains relatively low, despite the fact that it has likely birthed thousands of stars already.
