- May 21, 2017
The Spurs play on because the National Basketball Association says you can't just call it a season at some painful, broken point and go home. The win was the ninth double-digit victory for the Warriors in their 11 playoff wins (in 11 games), which means between Golden State and Cleveland, 14 of the 21 games played by the favorites in each conference (not top seeds, but favorites) have been decided by double digits.

Friday's Stanley Cup Playoffs betting preview: Predators at Ducks
- May 21, 2017
Carlyle would have preferred an extra day off, but Honda Center is booked for the Stars on Ice touring show Saturday night. "It's going to take some time to get over it", said McDavid, the 20-year-old captain. He had 21 points in 12 games against the Ducks this season. If that happens, Silverberg could be the odd man out with Perry, Getzlaf, Ryan Kesler, and Rickard Rakell looking like locks for protection. (more...)

- May 21, 2017
The game kicks off at 1500 BST at Old Trafford . Sam Allardyce made a double change after the hour as Bakary Sako and Sullay Kaikai were introduced as they looked for a way back into the game. I spoke to them. "It's the only positive thing". I don't want to lose any fans in terms of what their expectations might be, but it's too early to talk about competing for sixth or seventh spot in the Premier League just yet. (more...)

McGirt had three birdies on the front nine and eagled both of the par-fives on the back nine to offset two bogeys. Among those at 68 were Spain's Jon Rahm . I felt a bit of stiffness on Sunday, hit a couple of drives that didn't feel quite right. "My day is kind of summed up on the first hole when I one-hopped it into the flag and it came off the green and I made bogey", Johnson explained. (more...)

IT cleared the Third-Team voting by a large margin as the next-highest vote receiver at the guard position was John Wall, who received 125 voting points.
