SAN FRANCISCO — It’s hard to say whether the Golden State Warriors were winning one for their coach, or providing a place of temporary solitude for their grieving teammate. They had a basketball game to win, an opportunity to go up 3-1 on an opponent they’d like to dispatch — so keeping whatever emotions were flying through this wild series, on this day, seemed to be at a premium opposed to a source of inspiration. Steve Kerr was diagnosed with COVID-19 moments before his pregame media… Source link

(Bloomberg) — Most Read from Bloomberg Bitcoin rebounded from a swoon below $30,000 as a selloff in stocks moderated and a bout of calm washed across global markets. The world’s largest digital token added as much as 5.4% to $32,636.08 as of 7:48 a.m. in London. Ether at one point climbed 6.4%, while coins like Solana and Avalanche were also in the green. Bitcoin’s earlier plunge had taken it to levels last seen in the middle of 2021. Whether the calm will last is an open question…. Source link

Al Horford thanked God, because in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, he was touched. Two years after he left the Boston Celtics in free agency, Horford’s former team gave him another chance, reacquiring a contract the Philadelphia 76ers and Oklahoma City Thunder had written off in the meantime. The 15-year veteran paid off every cent with a playoff career-high 30 points that saved the Celtics’ season and gave him one more title shot with a team he led to back-to-back conference… Source link

(Bloomberg) — The outsized gain that turned Cathie Wood into one of the world’s most famous proponents of active fund management is quickly evaporating as some of her favorite stock picks tumble. Most Read from Bloomberg After years of trouncing the market and just days after Wood issued a broadside against passive investing, her flagship ARK Innovation ETF now looks set to give up all the outperformance it once enjoyed against the S&P 500 Index. Wood’s strategy of picking stocks involved… Source link

Al Horford turned back the clock and tied the Eastern Conference semifinals. The soon-to-be 36-year-old scored 16 of his playoff career-high 30 points in the fourth quarter to negate a monster night from two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and beat the Milwaukee Bucks, 116-108. The series is tied 2-2 heading back to Boston for Game 5 on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET (TNT). Horford made all six of his field-goal attempts in the final frame, and Boston followed its veteran leader. Trailing 76-65 with… Source link

If you’ve looked at the MLB standings recently, the line most likely to cause a double take belongs to the Cincinnati Reds. Specifically, the win column, which stood at a shockingly meager 5 on Monday morning. And that was after a weekend series triumph that brought them up almost exponentially from 3 and finally eased the ignominy of having fewer 2022 wins than the local football team that hadn’t played since February. So they stand at 5-23. Five wins in 28 games. It looks like a typo. As… Source link

(Bloomberg) — There’s a crypto refrain when prices crash precipitously like this: The selloff is washing out the short term-focused non-believers, known as weak hands, strengthening the industry in its wake. Most Read from Bloomberg It’s a glib way to think of all those who had joined the market as Bitcoin’s price rose to an all-time high at the end of last year — including institutions and small-time at-home investors, many of whom are deeply underwater on their investments now. A… Source link

College sports’ current issues with the transfer portal stem from an old adage: pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. If you listen to some coaches and administrators right now, they are being slaughtered by players who can transfer a single time without having to sit out a season and, in turn, the boosters and coaches at opposing schools enticing them to move with promises of money and playing time. Whether this proves to be a real problem — or just a lot of howling in the face of change —… Source link

Tom Brady is arguably the biggest draw in the NFL. So when he retired then unretired this offseason, he wreaked havoc for the league — and its schedule-makers. A Tampa Bay Buccaneers team with, say, Blaine Gabbert at quarterback isn’t much of a TV draw. But a Bucs team again featuring Brady under center — now we’re talking primetime. The folks who spend an inordinate amount of time, effort and processing power making a football schedule spoke with the Los Angeles Times about the process… Source link
