📉 The East. Everybody not in Cleveland or Boston (9-2) is having a rough go of it to begin this season. The Indiana Pacers (5-5) are the only other East team without a losing record. They’re third in the conference. They would be 11th in the West.

The “Real Food for Real Athletes” campaign includes a 30-second television spot that is airing on broadcast TV and social media for a limited time at the beginning of the NBA season, a Chipotle spokesperson told Times of San Diego.

Only two players have made 50 or more 3s in the first nine games of an NBA season: Steph Curry and Anthony Edwards. Edwards put himself in that rarified air after drilling nine 3-pointers in Friday night's blowout win over the Portland Trail Blazers,

Edwards buried 9 of 15 3-pointers on his way to 37 points Friday in Minnesota's 127-102 victory over Portland.

In Thursday night's Wolves win over the Bulls, Edwards hit five more threes, getting back to his usual ways after making seven combined in the two previous games. He opened the season by hitting five or more threes in each of the first five games of the season, including a couple nights with seven of them.
