The Steelers nailed their draft, the Patriots made a head-scratcher of a pick and 3 playoff teams fumbled a golden opportunity to improve.

Steph Curry delivered the greatest speech of his career before the Warriors’ film session Saturday and ahead of Game 7 against the Sacramento Kings.

The Suns entered Game 1 of their series with the Nuggets with the best offensive efficiency of any team in the first round of the playoffs. They left Game 1 with a resounding 125–107 loss and their worst offensive performance of the postseason so far. Denver, not exactly known for its defensive prowess, was able to limit the output of a team featuring three generational offensive talents. The Suns helped their opponent’s cause, though, because for some reason, a team stacked with great shooters isn’t shooting any threes.
Okay, Phoenix is shooting some threes.

If you anticipated a Mike Perry–Conor McGregor showdown this year, you know exponentially more than the rest of us.
Most of us were not that clairvoyant, yet that is exactly how Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship ended its tremendously successful BKFC 41 pay-per-view Saturday night. Perry defeated Luke Rockhold in the BKFC 41 main event, then had a squared circle showdown with the UFC icon.
“What a great way to end the night,” says Perry. “Conor’s a fan of boxing. Maybe he’ll be a fan of real, bare-knuckle boxing without the pillows on his hands. He got aggressive with me.

Receiving a phone call from an NFL team during the draft is one of the most significant moments in a football prospect’s career.
However, for Pittsburgh safety Erick Hallett, he might remember the moment for a less sentimental reason.
When the Jaguars tried to call Hallett to inform him that they had selected him in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL draft Saturday, the team couldn’t reach the safety right away.
“One guy we couldn’t get on the phone,” Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke said, via Jags Wire. “I believe it was … let me see if I can recall.

Major League Baseball fans have long had issues with umpires who either make bad calls or make themselves too much of the game. 
That happened again Saturday night after home plate umpire Adam Beck made a terrible call that led to the ejections of the hitter and the team’s manager. 
It all started when Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames wasn’t granted a timeout before a pitch. Then the subsequent pitch sure looked like a ball high out of the zone but was called a strike by Beck.

The Bills are adding a new running back to their roster with the signing of former Broncos tailback Latavius Murray to a one-year deal on Monday.
Murray is coming off one of his best statistical seasons in several years, having rushed for 703 yards and five touchdowns in 12 games with Denver last season. He led the team in rushing yards, with more than double the total of runner-up Melvin Gordon III (318 yards).

Phillies slugger Bryce Harper will have his repaired right elbow checked Monday, and if cleared, he is expected to make his season debut Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, 160 days after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Patrice Bergeron said he will step back and talk with his family about his options after the Bruins’ season ended Sunday night in a Game 7 loss to the Panthers.

Stephen Curry dropped 50 to help the Golden State Warriors eliminate the Sacramento Kings, scoring the most points in a Game 7 in NBA history.
