Plus: Suns get blown out in a home elimination game for the second-straight year
Tatum, Celtics hang on for 95-86 win over Sixers to force game 7
With their backs against the wall, Boston came out hungry, blazing out to a 15-3 start. Malcolm Brogdon’s 11 first quarter points and Marcus Smart’s nine second quarter points both contributed to getting the Celtics as large as a 16-point lead in the first half. And that was all despite Jayson Tatum starting 0-11 from the floor.

NFL legend Tom Brady is in deep discussions to become a limited partner of the Las Vegas Raiders, sources told ESPN’s Seth Wickersham and Adam Schefter.
Kevin Durant and the Suns had their season come to a crushing end Thursday night with a 125-100 loss to the Nuggets in game that was never close.
The Nuggets won the series, 4–2, and will play the winner of the Lakers-Warriors series in the Western Conference Finals.
Durant joined the Suns in a trade midway through the season and the team seemed to have all the pieces in place to make a run to the NBA Finals.
Instead, the Suns are now on vacation.
There are quiet moments, like midnight waves, when it seems like Sauce Gardner recedes and Ahmad Gardner comes to the forefront.
Take the day last year, during a starlit season that ended with a Defensive Rookie of the Year award, when Gardner found himself outside a row of designer stores in downtown Manhattan with a brick of cash in his pocket. Gardner doesn’t like to use credit cards, so wherever he goes he always arrives with a predetermined amount of spending money.
Olympic cyclist Inga Thompson does not believe that transgender women (biological men) should compete against biological women. Thompson recently called on fellow women cyclists to protest against a policy allowing biological men to race against women, and as a result, was removed as director of Cynisca Cycling team.
Saying men shouldn’t compete against women is not only a controversial opinion in the eyes of those who do not possess common sense, but a fireable offense as well.
It was always assumed that Tom Brady would remain close to football even in retirement, and the latest news surrounding the quarterback only confirms that assumption.
First, it was Brady’s 10-year television contract with Fox to become the network’s lead color analyst. On top of that, Brady is now reportedly pursuing an ownership stake in the Raiders, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Seth Wickersham.
Per the ESPN report, Brady is in deep discussions to become a limited partner in the franchise.
It’s Friday, and that means it’s time to start planning your waiver wire bids. I’ve got five players you should add right now for your fantasy baseball team.
Top pitching prospect Eury Perez gets the callup for the Marlins tonight! If you don’t have to wait until Sunday for waivers, consider adding him today. He has the potential to carve up the Reds tonight in Miami.
Also, we have a clear closer for Texas!
As the weather warms, we will continue to see players get into a groove and offensive numbers will also likely improve.
Jayson Tatum was very bad for most of Thursday night’s Game 6 against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Until he wasn’t.
The Celtics star was 1-of-14 from the floor through three-and-half quarters and it looked like his poor performance was going to be a major reason why his team was going to lose the series.
But then Tatum lit up in the final minutes, hitting three huge three-pointers and leading the Celtics to a come-from-behind win on the road to force a Game 7 back in Boston on Sunday.

Could Tom Brady be headed to the owner’s box?
Tom Brady could be coming back to the NFL.
In the owner’s box, with the Las Vegas Raiders.
According to a report from ESPN’s Seth Wickersham and Adam Schefter, the retired quarterback is in discussions with the Raiders about joining as a limited partner.
“Discussions between the two sides have been going on for weeks and could soon be reaching a resolution, yet sources say it’s still an extremely sensitive and fluid negotiation.
It’s done. The NFL released its 272-game schedule Thursday night.
And I studied and memorized every single team’s schedule.
Fine, so I didn’t commit the behemoth to memory. But I did study it.
And as a result of that examination, I can tell you where the NFL schedule presents stumbling blocks for all 32 teams during the 2023 season.
What follows is the notes and factoids from my research:
