Things got tense on the track at Kansas Speedway Sunday afternoon as Denny Hamlin took the NASCAR checkered flag. But it was the ‘fight’ off the track between Ross Chastain and Noah Gragson that has garnered attention.
There were a ton of fireworks over the course of three hours on Sunday, with multiple lead changes and a last lap pass for the win. But the ongoing problems opposing drivers have with Ross Chastain proved to be noteworthy again, this time with punches being thrown.

Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla delivered a staunch response on Sunday when asked to explain how he handled the final play of the team’s wild 116–115 Game 4 overtime loss to the 76ers on the road.
A huge James Harden three-pointer gave the Sixers the lead with 19 seconds remaining in OT. With Boston in possession of two timeouts, Mazulla elected to have his group play out the closing moments as guard Marcus Smart gave the ball to Jayson Tatum near half-court.

Saturday’s mass shooting at a mall in Allen, Texas. sparked a reaction from Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, whose football upbringing went through the Collin County city.
The 25-year-old, who played attended Allen High School, framed the shooting as a recurring issue in America, while also offering help to those families affected by the tragedy.
Kyler Murray took to Twitter Saturday afternoon, posting, “This is sickening. Prayers to the mass shooting victims in Allen, Texas. If there is anyway [sic] I can help those affected by this tragedy please let me know.

The Celtics suffered a disappointing loss to the 76ers during Game 4, having battled back from down 16 points to force overtime before James Harden hit a late, game-winning three. 
Boston coach Joe Mazzulla had two timeouts in hand during the final possession of Sunday’s game but opted against using one. Instead, he let the Celtics’ offense bring the ball up the court and run a play, which resulted in Jayson Tatum driving to the basket and dishing the ball to Marcus Smart, who was just late on a three-point attempt to win the game.

On its own, 76ers guard James Harden’s monster 42-point, eight-rebound, nine-assist performance against the Celtics on Sunday afternoon was one for the ages. The future Hall of Famer hit game-tying and game-winning shots as Philadelphia evened its Eastern Conference semifinal series at two games apiece.
However, Harden’s interactions with Michigan State shooting survivor John Hao before and after the contest gave the win extra meaning.
After expressing a wish to bring the 20-year-old Hao to a game once he was well enough to attend, Harden fulfilled his promise.

Despite starting ninth, Max Verstappen rockets to the front to win in Miami
Thanks to a wobble during his first run during Saturday’s third qualifying session, and a late red flag due to a crash by Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen was forced to start ninth in Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix.
No matter.
Verstappen picked his way through the field, rocketing to the front on a set of hard tyres. He moved into P2 by Lap 15, and when race leader Sergio Pérez came into the pits on Lap 20, Verstappen pulled into the lead.
