Judge agrees to toss Aaron Hernandez's murder conviction
- May 10, 2017

How Celtics Are Finding Their Playoff Identity Amid Comeback Vs. Bulls
- May 10, 2017
That night, Thomas' reaction was basically to laugh and shrug. Rondo broke his thumb in a Game 2 win on April 18, the second straight victory for the Bulls to start the series. After shooting 23 free throws in Game 4, Butler shot just one in Game 5. A miss followed from Paul Millsap, who had 21 points and 11 rebounds, but after Wall's jumper was off the mark, the Hawks seemed to waste too much time at the other end and the buzzer sounded.

- May 10, 2017
Ryan Johansen is the big center landed with Nashville's first big trade, a move nearly forgotten in all the wake of the deal that brought P.K. Subban to Music City.

- May 10, 2017
The Sixers played the Lakers in the Finals in 1982 and 1983. A Portland team with a disastrous defensive scheme and an offence based primarily on their backcourt of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum going toe-totoe with Golden State.
