The Lakers lost a crucial Wednesday night game to the Clippers on the heels of a grueling overtime win over the Jazz in Salt Lake City on Tuesday. After the game, LeBron James said scheduling played a role in their loss.

Two weeks following a bizarre play that cost the Mavericks during a two-point loss to the Warriors on March 22, the NBA announced Thursday it has denied Dallas’ protest of the game.
The Mavericks took action after their 127–125 defeat due to a strange play in which, coming out of a timeout, Dallas incorrectly believed that they were in possession of the ball and set up on the wrong side of the court, leaving the Warriors unguarded on the other end. That led to an easy layup, which proved costly in the two-point defeat.
Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale was on the mound Thursday in Detroit and the left-hander had some good stuff going against the Tigers.
Sale, who has dealt with injuries the past few years, struck out all three batters in the first inning and had seven strikeouts through five innings. He threw a bunch of pitches that had just a ridiculous amount of movement on them, which left many Tigers hitters looking silly.
Sale threw one of those pitches to Jonathan Schoop, who was able to lay off it. The umpire called it a ball, which didn’t make Sale happy.

The details surrounding an altercation last summer between Grizzlies star Ja Morant and a teenage boy in Shelby County, Tenn., are coming to light.
The altercation between Morant and Joshua Holloway, who was 17 years old at the time, occurred during a pickup basketball game outside of Morant’s home.
According to a report from Molly Hensley-Clancy of The Washington Post, Morant hit Holloway so hard that it “knocked him to the ground and left him with a large knot on the side of his head.
Seeing as the 87th edition of The Masters is being played on four days that end with “y,” Tiger Woods is the talk of the tournament. The 47-year-old golf legend returned to Augusta National to be apart of a tradition unlike any other for the 25th time in his storied career, and second time since suffering a harrowing, near-fatal car accident in 2021.
Woods is amongst the most polarizing figures in sports, and the interest in his every move was exemplified by a massive crowd during Monday’s practice round. It did not waver as the first round got underway on Thursday.
