Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray finished with triple-doubles as Denver set the tone in Miami and moved within a pair of wins of their first Larry O’Brien Trophy.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game. The King of Staten Island or the hardwood court? Don’t sleep on Pete Davidson’s basketball skills.
Though mostly known for bagging A-list bachelorettes and telling PETA to screw off, Davidson ain’t that bad a basketball player either.
The SNL alum visited the UNLV Rebels for a hooping session on Wednesday. Davidson broke out the smooth handles and clean finishes at the rim — moving like a real baller.
Sad but true.
UNLV posted on social media: “Introducing our newest walk-on.. Pistol Pete Davidson.
The Jacksonville Jaguars released renderings of a proposed redesign of TIAA Bank Stadium on Wednesday. And they are massive.
The Jaguars have frequently been considered a target for possible relocation, given attendance challenges and their extremely small market.
But team owner Shad Khan certainly seems committed to remaining in Northeastern Florida.
Renderings of what the team is calling the “stadium of the future” are impressive and show a complete reimagining of the facility.
Shortly after it was announced Wednesday that Lionel Messi would be joining MLS’s Inter Miami, his longtime former club, FC Barcelona, released a statement wishing the player “the best of luck.”
A reunion with Barcelona was considered to be in play for Messi after he concluded his tenure with Paris Saint-Germain last week. It was confirmed in the club’s statement that the team offered Messi a proposal to return to the club where he played for 21 years.
But the brief statement seemed a tad petty in its wording in the estimation of some fans.
Mets slugger Pete Alonso exited Wednesday night’s game against the Braves after getting hit near his left wrist during his first-inning at-bat by starting pitcher Charlie Morton.
Alonso received attention from the New York training staff before leaving the field. He was replaced in the lineup by Tommy Pham. Alonso returned to the Mets dugout later in the game. He appeared to be wearing a bandage on the area where he was struck by Morton’s pitch.
It’s the NBA Finals, and the series between the Heat and Nuggets is tied at one game apiece. Chris Paul appears to be on the way out the door with the Suns.
To some basketball fans, however, there was no bigger story Wednesday than a bizarre, extraordinarily NSFW sequence of tweets from adult film star Moriah Mills slamming Pelicans forward Zion Williamson in the wake of the announcement of his girlfriend’s pregnancy.
“Part of me doesn’t feel like I should really be here right now.
The Polar Bear’s gonna need plenty of ice. New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso did not finish Wednesday’s Game 2 against the Atlanta Braves. Alonso took a mean 97 mph fastball to the left arm from Braves pitcher Charlie Morton.
The 28-year-old hit the deck but quickly got up. Alonso thought about walking to first but stopped to speak before manager Buck Showalter before exiting the game.
Morton’s fastball made direct contact with Pete Alonso’s left wrist, despite him wearing gear on the arm. The ball snuck in between Alonso’s glove and arm pad.
If you haven’t checked in on New York and neighboring northeastern states, everything’s up in smoke.
NY’s air quality has been so poor that a WNBA indoor basketball game was canceled. The New York Liberty were set to host the Minnesota Lynx at Barclays Center before the game got postponed.
Hold your breath; it gets worse.
Check out this almost unbelievable time-lapse of wildfire smoke consuming the World Trade Center and the New York City skyline.
Those vulnerable to poor air quality, including seniors and young children, should limit time outdoors if possible.

The Reds rookie notched his first MLB home run on Wednesday night and it might not have landed yet
Excitement built throughout the day Tuesday, and into Tuesday night, when word broke that the Cincinnati Reds were calling up dynamic shortstop Elly De La Cruz for his first taste of big league action.
The hype train will only continue after tonight.
The switch-hitting shortstop recorded his first MLB hit in his debut on Tuesday, driving a liner into the gap in right-center field and, using his incredible speed, legging it out for a double.
