The Washington Capitals advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs after eliminating the Montreal Canadiens in a 4-1 series.
Even with extra rest, Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery knew the Carolina Hurricanes, a shot-volume heavy team, would be difficult to defeat in Round 2.
“Eventually you break down, or they break teams down with those [shots], not necessarily the first one, but the fourth and fifth one,” Carbery told reporters.
“That’s where for us, we know what to expect, and we’re going to have to do a job. They know what they do well.
The Warriors were able to withstand a pelvic injury to star forward Jimmy Butler in Game 3 of their Western Conference opening-round playoff series against the Rockets thanks in large part to an epic 36-points performance from Stephen Curry.
After that game, coach Steve Kerr said he was out of adjectives for Curry, but went on to say, “He’s Steph Curry. He’s one much greatest players of all time. He’s 37. He’s one of the most well-conditioned athletes I’ve ever seen in my life.
Cleveland blew it, and something’s gotten hold of the Indiana Pacers this postseason; they’re winning convincingly.
And Indy’s star is feeling so confident about beating the Cavs this series, he dropped his clackers on them.
The Cavs may be in deep trouble.

Tyrese Haliburton is cold-blooded.
The Indiana Pacers trailed the Cleveland Cavaliers by 20 at one point during Game 2 of their matchup in the second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs. The Cavs had already dropped Game 1 and were playing without injured stars Darius Garland and Evan Mobley (as well as key reserve De’Andre Hunter). This was set to be a win that saved Cleveland’s season and maybe bought them a little time to get healthy.
The Pacers kept chipping away in the fourth quarter, but it seemed like they were going to run out of time.
The Golden State Warriors have had over 600 players don the more than 60 jersey numbers used by their players over the more than 75 years of existence the team has enjoyed in its rich and storied history.
Founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA — a precursor league of the NBA) era, the team has called home the cities of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.
The Brooklyn Nets have 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 different players over the course of their history since the franchise was founded in 1967 as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), when the team was known as the “New Jersey Americans”.
Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York Nets and New Jersey Nets before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today.
Cleveland Cavaliers superstar guard Donovan Mitchell made sure fans at Rocket Arena didn’t disrespect Indiana Pacers superstar guard Tyrese Haliburton on Tuesday night.
Game 2 of the second-round 2025 NBA playoff series between the Cavs and Pacers saw Mitchell make a very classy gesture Haliburton’s way after Cleveland fans chanted “overrated” at the Indiana standout.
