SAN FRANCISCO — The Golden State Warriors weren’t about to go out without a fight. After the Dallas Mavericks took a 19-point lead in the first half fueled by a resurgence from Luka Doncic, the Warriors methodically marched back. Golden State took its first lead of the game with 11:42 to go and hung on for a 126-117 win in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals on Friday night at Chase Center. The Warriors have a 2-0 series lead as the series shifts to Dallas for Games 3 and 4. Golden… Source link

There are few happy endings in boxing. Miguel Berchelt, who rose from obscurity to have a magnificent career, is about to find that out. There’s no reason for the former WBO and WBC super featherweight champion to fight once again. He was repeatedly beaten to the punch Saturday at Resorts World in Las Vegas by Jeremiah Nakathila. He was knocked down once by a jab and he made Nakathila, a good but hardly sensational fighter, look like the reincarnation of Alexis Arguello. Referee Russell Mora,… Source link

ZHANGJIAKOU — There comes a moment in the life of every gunslinger when the competition’s just too young and too fast. They come for your crown and your name, and if you stick around too long, you’ll lose both. For Shaun White, the moment he realized his time was done came last November in Austria. He watched younger snowboarders pulling off tricks that were beyond the reach of his 35-year-old body. His knee hurt, his ankle hurt, his back hurt. Exhausted and defeated, sore all over, he… Source link

ANAHEIM, Calif. — What Francis Ngannou did Saturday in defeating Ciryl Gane with his grappling would be like Usain Bolt setting a world record in the 100 meters running on his hands, or Tom Brady rushing for 250 yards to lead the Buccaneers to another Super Bowl title. Exactly no one saw that coming, though it shows the growth in Ngannou’s game and the brilliant work of coaches Eric Nicksick and Dewey Cooper that the sport’s most fearsome fighter could win a bout by grappling. He was a… Source link

What comes to mind when you think of Cam Newton? The Superman pose? Handing footballs to kids in the stands behind end zones? Failing to dive on that crucial Super Bowl fumble? The curious, eye-melting font in his Instagram posts? Outfits that split the difference between the Met Gala and a Marvel movie? All of those images, combined — none of which involve Newton’s actual football gifts — are what make Newton’s impending return to Carolina so compelling. Maybe he’ll lead Carolina… Source link

Boxing legend Mike Tyson may have pulled off an impressive return from retirement last year with an unofficial draw with Roy Jones Jr., but unlike ageless wonder Tom Brady, the heavyweight champion is being less secretive about his methods to fight father time. Iron Mike credits cannabis. Speaking with Yahoo Finance about the debut of his eponymous Tyson 2.0 cannabis line in partnership with cannabis company Columbia Care, the 55-year-old said he wished he smoked cannabis his “whole career”… Source link

The Washington Football Team drafted running back Bryce Love in 2019, spending a fourth-round pick on the Stanford running back who suffered a torn ACL in his final college game. On Monday Washington waived Love after he failed to log an NFL carry in two seasons. The hope in Washington was that Love could spend a year recovering from the devastating injury and contribute by his second season. But he didn’t play a single snap in 2020, and a Ron Rivera regime that didn’t draft Love cut ties with… Source link
