Panda Express has introduced a new dish to its menu: Hot Orange Chicken. This offering is a spicy twist on the brand’s signature Original Orange Chicken.

The Hot Orange Chicken retains the flavors fans know and expect but turns up the heat with six scoops of crushed chilis and a ladle full of dried chilis, the same ones featured in Panda’s Kung Pao Chicken. This fiery addition is set to tantalize taste buds across the country.

Original Orange Chicken by Panda Express is a signature dish and one of the chain’s most popular menu items. It features crispy, bite-sized pieces of fried chicken coated in a sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy orange-flavored sauce. The dish is known for its balance of flavors, combining savory and citrus notes with a hint of heat.

The New York Knicks lost 108-102 last night at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers. New York was in firm control of the game, but everything fell apart in the second half. They coughed up a 23-point lead and were outscored by 18 points in the final 24 minutes. Even though the Cavaliers were without its best player, Donovan Mitchell, they stormed back to win.

Friday night was an age-old story for the New York Knicks. They have been unable to beat the NBA’s top 3 teams this year. They finished the regular season 0-4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, 0-4 against the Boston Celtics, and 0-2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. With the NBA Playoffs around the corner, how will the New York Knicks fare?

Even with a loss last night, an Indiana Pacers loss locked the Knicks into the No. 3 seed. They will face the Detroit Pistons in the 1st Round of the NBA Playoffs. The Knicks are limping into the postseason losers of three straight games. New York lost to Detroit 115-106 on the road on Thursday. The Knicks blew a 13-point lead to finish the season 1-3 against the Pistons.

New York has been paced by its offense this season. They are ninth in points scored, fourth in field goal percentage, and 10th in three-point percentage. The issue has been their defense. 

The Florida Gators are the 2025 NCAA men’s basketball national champions for the third time in program history.

Florida’s men’s basketball national championship is its first since winning back-to-back titles in 2006 and 2007. The Gators won the SEC Tournament before being rewarded with a No. 1 overall seed, having defeated Norfolk State, UConn, Maryland, Texas Tech and Auburn in the 2025 March Madness Tournament prior to Monday’s win.
