After snapping a team-record 10-game losing streak with a 45-33 victory over the Indianapolis Colts last week, the Giants are determined to finish on a high note. A win would help the franchise avoid setting a new low with 14 losses, a mark the team has matched twice before, most recently in 2021. However, New York still shares the

Despite being down just two points at halftime, the Rebels were outrebounded 45-34, an issue coach Chris Beard identified as a key concern. “We got outrebounded tonight, and I don’t think rebounding was Memphis’ strength,” Beard said. “No doubt about it, that’s a concern of mine.” The Rebels, who fell seven spots in the latest AP poll, rely on balanced scoring with
