Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo shouldn’t have much to complain about after his team’s 103-101 win over the Boston Celtics in Game 3 on Saturday. Antetokounmpo was upset about one aspect of the contest, but saved himself some money by not commenting on it during a post-game presser. Antetokounmpo made it clear he wasn’t a fan of how the refs officiated the game, but wisely did not get into specifics so he could save some money. Is that enough to warrant a fine anyway? Sure,… Source link

The NBA suspended Memphis Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks for one game following his Flagrant 2 foul on Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II in Tuesday’s Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals. Brooks swiped his arm across Payton’s head on a transition layup attempt early in the first quarter of Memphis’ 106-101 victory. Officials deemed the foul “unnecessary and excessive,” ejecting Brooks from the game. Payton, who took a hard fall, made one of two free throws before exiting the… Source link

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic had a big game Tuesday, but it wasn’t enough to lead his team to a win over the Phoenix Suns. Doncic let his frustrations boil over during the contest, confronting a fan who heckled Doncic with “reckless” language. The incident occurred at halftime. As Doncic was walking to the Mavericks’ locker room, he stopped to confront a fan wearing a Devin Booker jersey. Doncic was clearly upset, but did not get too heated. Team officials immediately stepped in to hold… Source link

(AAron Ontiveroz/MediaNews Group/The Denver Post via Getty Images) Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors hadn’t been in this position in, well, years. And it showed. Despite trailing entering the fourth quarter, the Warriors rallied in the final period to knock off Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, 102-98, in Game 5 of their opening round playoff series. That win officially closed out their series 4-1 and pushed Golden State to the next… Source link

The Minnesota Timberwolves had no answer for Ja Morant on Tuesday night. The Memphis star, with a ridiculous poster that could go down as the dunk of the postseason and a last-second layup, led the Grizzlies to a 111-109 win in Game 5 of their series with the Timberwolves on Tuesday. He nearly had a triple-double in the win, too, with 30 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists on the night. “He was huge, he just kept staying the course,” Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said, via Bally Sports….

Though he is improving, Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic is reportedly “unlikely” to play in Game 2 of their opening-round playoff series against the Utah Jazz on Monday night. Doncic, who strained his calf in their regular season finale last week, has not been officially ruled out of the game. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, however, he will need “dramatic” improvement in order to be cleared to play. “Yesterday was another good day, and today he’s back on the court, so… Source link

Chiba Lotte Marines pitcher Roki Sasaki captured the attention of baseball fans around the globe when he tossed a dominant perfect game with 19 strikeouts last Sunday. It was, arguably, the most dominating pitching performance ever in professional baseball. When these types of stories register, MLB fans usually take note, appreciate the accomplishment and expect they won’t hear about Sasaki again until he’s ready to come to the United States. Turns out, Sasaki is not the type of player who’s… Source link

Clayton Kershaw looked jovial in the Los Angeles Dodgers dugout, slapping backs and shaking hands. The scoreboard showed it was the eighth inning, and zeros remained in every slot except errors for the Minnesota Twins, but Alex Vesia was taking the mound. A bid for MLB’s first perfect game since 2012 was abandoned. By the time many heard that a living legend was throwing a perfect game on a Wednesday afternoon, Kershaw was done throwing anything at all. If you scrambled to a television or… Source link

Clayton Kershaw faced a shot at baseball history on Wednesday. He came up two innings short. Not because of his performance on the mound. But because of a decision by Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. The three-time Dodgers Cy Young winner had a chance to add a coveted line to his already illustrious résumé with a perfect game through seven innings against the Minnesota Twins. But 80 pitches into his start, Roberts pulled him, opting to prioritize Kershaw’s health over a chance at… Source link

A fan at the Target Center on Tuesday night interrupted the Minnesota Timberwolves’ play-in game against the Los Angeles Clippers with an attempted on-court protest. Though the protester used a new method to try and get her message across, it didn’t stick very well. In the second quarter of the play-in game in Minneapolis, while a free throw was happening at the other end, officials quickly halted the game after a protester ran onto the floor and apparently started trying to glue herself to… Source link
