ORLANDO, Fla. — When the Magic saw their 3-game winning streak come to an end against the Mavericks on Thursday, a key third quarter was what shifted the contest in favor of Dallas.
But Saturday night at Kia Center, Magic coach Jamahl Mosley‘s squad was not only able to weather the third quarter storm brought on by the Kings but actually rebuild and add onto its double-digit lead after halftime.

Major League Baseball legend Roger Clemens joined Fox News and “The Will Cain Show” this week to talk the 2025 baseball season. And his thoughts on President Donald Trump. 
“Let’s talk about the season, Roger what do you think? The easy pick, I’m not saying if you go this way you’re taking a layup, but it is the Dodgers again and maybe we are on the verge of another dynasty, the first time since the Yankees in the late 90’s,” Cain asked.

There are three things you can be sure about when you see Max Scherzer pitch: he’ll be super competitive, he’ll give everything he has – and he’ll probably be hurt.
In the off-season, Scherzer signed a contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, hoping to bring another world-class arm to their rotation. He got his first chance to pitch for his new team today against the Baltimore Orioles, but the start didn’t go so well.
Just 45 pitches into his Blue Jays debut, he was pulled from the game because he had soreness in his right lateral muscle.

There’s a reason why her nickname is “Paige Buckets.”
And Geno Auriemma and UConn women’s basketball are sure glad Paige Bueckers is on their side because of it.
As she has so many times throughout her career at UConn, the Huskies star guard took over the scoring in Saturday’s Sweet 16 win against No. 3 seed Oklahoma at Spokane Arena, sending UConn back to the Elite Eight for the fourth time in the last five years.
