Golden State Warriors beat San Antonio Spurs to reach NBA Finals
- June 03, 2017
But the same can be said for the prior series, during which the Cavaliers were missing much more fire power after Kevin Love went down for the season in the first round and Kyrie Irving followed his lead during Game 1 of the Finals. His presence has given the Warriors a deep and talented roster headlined by four All-Stars in Durant, Curry, Thompson and Green. Golden State responded with an 11-3 surge of its own to end the period and took a 96-78 cushion into the final period. (more...)

Penguins stress need for fast start to pivotal Game Three
- June 03, 2017
But, as I mentioned before, nothing sticks out like a sore thumb. Murray made 31 saves in that span as the Predators consistently dictated play. With all that being said , it's not because Fleury is better than Murray but, Fleury is 32 years old, has served 13 years with the Penguins and deserves a fresh start elsewhere instead of being known as that guy that backed up a 22 year old goalie for two years while the Penguins went onto to win a Stanley Cup (possibly two).

- June 03, 2017
So while he was tweeting Thursday about Santa Claus and Australian Rules Football, Durant was dunking on the sort of nonexistent defense typically seen at an All-Star Game. "When you're playing a good team like this, you can't give them 20 more shots than you have", Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said. "Just get focused on Game 2", James said. (more...)

No extra pressure while facing Pakistan : Virat Kohli
- June 03, 2017
It is a big match we understand but in our heads there is no difference. "I would never play for redemption". It might be in the subcontinent, might be England, Australia and South Africa. Pakistan have yet to lift this particular trophy, but come to England with a sense of freedom as they look to reach a first-ever final - with excitement the main emotion heading into the tournament.
