The Heat dominated in the first half of Game 3 against the Celtics on Sunday, running up a 15-point lead by the halftime buzzer. Much of their scoring came from players who weren’t drafted, including Duncan Robinson, Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin, who combined for 31 of Miami’s 61 first-half points.
That trio is just three of nine players on the Heat who didn’t hear their names called on draft night. That tidbit was a topic of discussion during the TNT broadcast throughout the game, but their conversations didn’t seem to have sat well with Draymond Green.

Shohei Ohtani notched another impressive feat on Sunday during his start against the Twins. The 28-year-old accomplished something no Angels pitcher has done in 45 years, dating all the way back to the 1978 MLB season.
After fanning nine batters in a stellar outing against Minnesota, Ohtani became just the second player in franchise history to strike out 80 batters in their first 10 starts. He was the first to do so since Nolan Ryan, who recorded 97 strikeouts in his first 10 appearances in 1978, one of his final seasons with the Angels, according to ESPN Stats and Info.
NBA players have feelings, too … and Twitter accounts to keep up with their haters.
Twitter has become a scathing real-time review for athletes as major American sports remain a constant trending topic on the site.
If a professional has an incredible or incredibly terrible performance, Twitter is always the place for people to vent their reactions. So naturally, athletes want to keep an eye on their praises and critiques.

The La Liga match was stopped for nearly 10 minutes on Sunday while Vinícius called out a fan behind the goal for yelling racial slurs.
Michael Block (or is it Mike Block, that’s still not been made clear) became the story of the 2023 PGA Championship. He won the hearts of America by competing against the best in the world, even though he’s not a professional golfer — at least not in the sense of the guys on the PGA Tour.
Then, he made a hole-in-one Sunday and just completely took over the crowd. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a roar like the one Block received when he dunked that ace on 15.
And thanks to finishing in a tie for 15th place, he earned exemption into next year’s PGA Championship.
How can you not be romantic about baseball?
Anybody who’s ever been to a ballpark more than a few times has likely bore witness to a mid-game marriage proposal. But an actual wedding ceremony? That’s reserved for the true baseball diehards. And that’s exactly what fans in attendance at Sunday’s game between the Giants and Marlins at Oracle Park got to see when one couple decided to take the plunge with America’s pastime as their backdrop.
New York got its first look at the city’s vaunted superteam Sunday.
The festivities in Brooklyn began with a message from new addition Breanna Stewart, who took center court to tell the Barclays Center crowd, “It’s good to be home.”
The spotlight stayed on Stewie after tipoff, with the star forward hammering the Fever early, dishing a dime down low to fellow 2023 acquisition Jonquel Jones. She went on to sink four of her five attempted threes in the opening frame.
Brooks Koepka already had his name etched into the Wanamaker Trophy twice before winning his third PGA Championship on Sunday. He was expected to get the job done at Oak Hill as he began the final round with a one-shot lead, but just because Koepka met his expectations doesn’t make his victory any less special.
Most would argue that the next major championship of every multi-major winner is their greatest accomplishment, and Koepka’s fifth major title certainly checked that box.
Parts of the country have already experienced summer-like temperatures this spring, but certain regions could be in for a rude awakening this week
