Understanding that “everything is magnified in the playoffs,” Golden State coach Steve Kerr addressed some of the key stretches in which the Warriors struggled on Saturday, in their Game 3 loss to Los Angeles, a win that gave the Lakers a 2-1 series lead.

Aljamain Sterling won his title fight and then another almost broke out in the Octagon, as he and challenger Sean O’Malley started jawing at each other on the microphone.

Against the backdrop of 51,000-plus fans who waited nearly 12 years for their hero to return, Canelo Alvarez — in a feat he labeled “a historic moment for me” — retained his undisputed super middleweight title, defeating John Ryder Saturday in Mexico.

The moves Rob Pelinka engineered right before the trade deadline are paying off in a big way, including Saturday’s Game 3 rout of the Warriors.

Russell Westbrook caught an unexpected stray Saturday night during UFC 288, and he wasn’t even in the building at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. 
During the broadcast for Saturday’s UFC event, which was headlined by Aljamain Sterling and Henry Cejudo, Daniel Cormier revealed his keys to victory for Gilbert Burns in his co-main welterweight clash against Belal Muhammad.

Muhammad dominated No. 5 Gilbert Burns to win a one-sided unanimous decision.

LeBron James spoke about his son Bronny’s commitment to play college basketball at USC, and he didn’t hide his pride when talking to reporters after the Lakers’ Game 3 win against the Warriors. 
Speaking to Mike Trudell on the court after the game, James called Saturday “one of the best days of my life,” expressing his joy over his son making his college commitment.
“One of the best days of my life. First of all, Congratulations to Bronny on his decision he made. Super proud of him, our family is proud of him,” said James.

The Warriors took a Brow-beating in L.A. as Anthony Davis controlled the action on both ends of the court in a 127-97 rout.

A couple of heavy hitters ran into each other at the Kentucky Derby this year, as sports betting machine Mattress Mack pressed the flesh with Super Bowl champ Patrick Mahomes.
Mattress Mack — despite having the nickname “Mattress” — is known more for making gigantic sports bets than he is for selling mattresses.
Last year, Mack set a U.S. sports-betting record when he won $75 million betting on the Astros to win the World Series.

Bronny James finally made his college recruitment decision on Saturday, opting to stay close to home and join USC. 
After finally announcing his intention to become a Trojan in 2023 via an Instagram post, LeBron James took to his own Instagram account and shared a congratulatory message for his eldest son. 
Bronny had interest from various top programs around the country, though it was reported his top options were Oregon, Ohio State, and USC. His final decision generated a loud reaction from his father before LeBron took the court in Game 3 against the Warriors.
