A women’s world championship game between Romania and Bulgaria erupted into mayhem on Sunday.

Tensions were high across the league on Sunday afternoon.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert wasn’t feeling forgiving on Easter Sunday — evidenced by an altercation with T-Wolves forward Kyle Anderson where Gobert unleashed his demons and tried punching his teammate.

Some teams get hot and surge into the NBA’s play-in tournament. The Timberwolves are doing the opposite.
Minnesota center Rudy Gobert appeared to take a swing at forward Kyle Anderson on the Timberwolves’ bench Sunday afternoon, adding to a frustrating 2023 for a Minnesota team struggling to follow up its ’22 success.
Anderson and Gobert engaged in a heated argument that appeared to culminate with Gobert stepping toward Anderson and attempting to strike him the face.

Patrick Reed is very, very unlikeable. Even before his move to the LIV Tour, golf fans despised the 2018 Masters champion.
He’s a known cheater who’s undeservedly smug and extremely cocky. Even his own family hates him.
But still, when long putts go down at The Masters, people cheer. Patrons sit around for hours and wait for big things to happen. In fact, the crowd is so loud it sometimes hurts the TV coverage.
Why? Because there’s nothing worse than when the broadcast is showing one players and massive roar comes from somewhere else on the golf course.

Rudy Gobert was sent home after the incident.
The Minnesota Timberwolves vs. New Orleans Pelicans game on the last day of the regular season was set to determine the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference standings. Both teams were going to the NBA play-in tournament regardless, but the No. 8 seed gets two chances to make the NBA playoffs, while the No. 9 seed needs to win consecutive elimination games to make the playoff bracket.
Midway through the second quarter, Timberwolves star Rudy Gobert was sent home by the team after throwing a punch at teammate Kyle Anderson.

Things got a bit heated in the sixth inning of Sunday’s game between the Pirates and White Sox after Pittsburgh shortstop Oneil Cruz suffered an injury following a collision with Chicago catcher Seby Zavala. Cruz was called out on the play and stayed on the ground in pain, eventually coming out of the game.
While he was being tended to by a trainer, Zavala exchanged words with Pirates first baseman Carlos Santana. Eventually, both benches and bullpens cleared, with the two sides coming together near where Cruz was on the ground.

After parting ways with head coach Stephen Silas on Sunday, the Rockets are set to begin their coaching search. 
According to The Athletic, Houston is expected to consider Raptors coach Nick Nurse, Warriors assistant Kenny Atkinson, former Lakers coach Frank Vogel, former Celtics coach Ime Udoka, former Hornets coach James Borrego and Raptors assistant Adrian Griffin. The team is reportedly expected to have a list of eight candidates for the job.

The Houston Rockets are declining to pick up the fourth-year option on coach Stephen Silas’ contract, ending his three-year run with the team, sources told ESPN.

Speaking after Detroit concluded its season with a 103-81 loss to the Chicago Bulls, Dwane Casey announced Sunday that he will step down from his role as coach of the Pistons and will move into a front-office role.
