In the second period with the Kings trailing 3-1, a slight disagreement in front of the penalty boxes broke out.

NBA awards races will include a new wrinkle this upcoming season: a minimum games played requirement.
Players are required to be on the floor for at least 20 minutes for a minimum of 65 games in order to qualify for individual honors, such as All-NBA and MVP. That could make things interesting in a league in which rest has become rampant to the point that new rules have been implemented aimed at curtailing load management.
This new requirement would have altered the Defensive Player of the Year race last season as Jaren Jackson Jr. appeared in only 63 games.

ESPN’s Pat McAfee brought his hit television show over to the network as part of his five-year, $85 million contract that he signed earlier this year.

They’re paid. Handsomely.
The Diamondbacks won Game 3 on Wednesday night to sweep the Dodgers, in large part thanks to a huge third inning. Arizona hit four home runs off Lance Lynn in one inning, becoming the first team in MLB history to do that in the postseason.
Arizona’s rally started when No. 9 hitter Geraldo Perdomo hit a solo shot, and he was followed by Ketel Marte, Christian Walker and Gabriel Moreno all doing the same. Outfielder Tommy Pham, who grounded out in the middle of the inning, humorously described what it was like to watch the big inning from his teammates.
