Vettel wins Bahrain Grand Prix ahead of Hamilton
- April 17, 2017
In an exciting start to the season, both have one win and one second-placed finish each, with Vettel winning in Melbourne and Hamilton responding in Shanghai. Toto Wolff told Sky Sports after the race that a generator failure on the grid meant Bottas' tyres were over-pressured, which meant he was struggling with oversteer and degrading his tyres faster.

Rogic starts as Celtic drop points at Ross County
- April 17, 2017
Since moving to Celtic Park from Fulham last summer, Dembele has found the back of the net on 32 occasions in all competitions and Griffiths says he can have no complaints about losing his place to the 20-year-old Frenchman. The hosts looked lively in the opening stages of the second half and were rewarded five minutes after the break when Gardyne met Ryan Dow's inswinging cross and guided his header in off the crossbar.

Hamilton hopeful Red Bull can join title battle
- April 17, 2017
With Vettel sixth after the restart, he found himself stuck behind teammate Kimi Raikkonen, who was still on the Intermediate tire and working to pass Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo. And also with Ferrari at their best in a decade, I think. Raikkonen - who was unhappy with how his own strategy played out later in the race - also spent much of the first stint holding Vettel up while the pair were bottled up behind the Red Bulls, all while eventual race victor Lewis Hamilton built a lead out ...

National Basketball Association roundup: Cavs hang on to defeat Pacers in Game 1
- April 17, 2017
The credit goes to LeBron James for having a LeBron James-y kind of game, but he wasn't the only reason the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to escape with a Game 1 victory against the Indiana Pacers. If the Pacers had just run a play off of the missed James shot, they could have possibly made their way down the court for a quick bucket before Cleveland could set their defense. (more...)

That followed a particularly rough game against Washington on January 19 when Allen was pulled twice while giving up four goals on 10 shots. "It's tight. I mean, it's playoffs". We've told him that all year, shoot the puck. "Quit trying to put words in our mouths that make us look like we're bad because we're not". (more...)

TORONTO (AP) There will be no Battle of Ontario in the first round of the National Hockey League playoffs. "It's going to be an exciting challenge for us". The Capitals and Maple Leafs have never met in a playoff series. This is not a typo: the Toronto Maple Leafs are a playoff team.
