Charles Oliveira made quick work of Justin Gaethje Saturday at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona, winning by submission at 3:22 of the first round. The former lightweight champion, who was stripped of his belt after missing championship weight Friday by a half pound, becomes the division’s No. 1 contender and will compete for the vacant title in his next fight. In the co-main event, Carla Esparza did just enough versus Rose Namajunas to win via split decision and regain the strawweight… Source link

SAN FRANCISCO — Draymond Green is enjoying Golden State’s return to NBA prominence after a two-year sabbatical, believing the break helped his mind and body recover and realign his hunger. After five straight NBA Finals and three titles, the Warriors had an injury-riddled 2019-20 season and were eliminated in the play-in tournament last season by the same Memphis Grizzlies they’re facing now. Green called the last two years “miserable” but felt they were valuable — he was able to… Source link

BOSTON — The Milwaukee Bucks did to the Celtics what Boston did to the Brooklyn Nets, bullying them. Rarely did the Celtics see open shots in their 101-89 loss in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. When they did, the Bucks dared a role player to beat them. Boston will need more fight from their stars than they showed in front of their home crowd on Sunday to unseat the defending champions, because 32% shooting and 33 points combined on 31 shots from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown… Source link

Bad plays in baseball happen every day. But bad plays like this one absolutely do not happen every day. On Tuesday night, the Detroit Tigers handed the Minnesota Twins a walk-off win in the ugliest and most spectacular way possible: a thoroughly botched play. Let’s set the stage. It’s the bottom of the ninth at Target Field and the Tigers are up 4-3, but the Twins are threatening with runners on first and second and only one out. Miguel Sano, who was hitting .083 coming into Tuesday night’s… Source link

Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert sometimes eat lunch together, and they sometimes save the Utah Jazz‘s season together. After a season marked by whispers of discord between the Jazz’s two stars, the pair connected for a game-winning alley-oop in a 100-99 win over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 4 of their first-round series. The series is now tied 2-2. The Jazz appeared on the verge of a 3-1 series hole in the final minute of the game when Mavericks star Luka Doncic, making a return from a calf… Source link

No matter which projection system you prefer, they’re in agreement on the most likely team to win the NBA championship. And it’s not the Phoenix Suns. The Boston Celtics have captured the hearts of the computers. The Celtics are favored to win the NBA title by three different projections sites, and by a wide margin in two of them. That’s a reason the odds at BetMGM have moved from Celtics +1000 to +750 since Monday. If the projections are right, even those new odds still hold some value. Celtics… Source link

Phillip) AUGUSTA, Ga. – Ninety players combined for thousands of shots at this year’s Masters. But in the end, the entire tournament turned on just two.

The Tarpons fell behind early, but rallied in… Source link
