Every time the Lakers plugged a hole in the dike, the Nuggets only seemed to come back with a sledgehammer.
Through three games of a Western Conference finals series, in which Denver holds a commanding 3–0 lead after 119–108 win, Los Angeles has found different ways to defend the Nuggets’ rollicking offensive attack.
Two-time MVP Nikola Jokić dominated Game 1 in historic fashion, prompting the Lakers to seek a counter defensively with Rui Hachimura the following contest.

Jordan Spieth made the cut right on the line to play the weekend at the PGA Championship, and despite him fighting a wrist injury, he insists it’s okay.
Jordan Spieth has not had a great time at Oak Hill Country Club, but with one round of play left, at least his wrist seems to be in better shape. After withdrawing from the AT&T Byron Nelson last weekend, it was uncertain whether he could go full force at the PGA Championship.

Phoenix Mercury coach Vanessa Nygaard was baffled that Brittney Griner’s first game of the season wasn’t sold out.
The Mercury traveled to Los Angeles for the WNBA opener and it was Griner’s first game since she was released from Russian custody following a Soviet-style show trial on drug charges.
It was such an important night for the WNBA that Vice President Kamala Harris even made an appearance, and 10,396 fans bought tickets to attend the game at Crypto.com Arena.
However, it wasn’t a complete sellout, and that seemingly fried Griner’s coach.

The upcoming LeBron James film “Shooting Stars” looks unbelievably bad.
The Peacock movie will chronicle James’ rise to superstardom in high school at St. Vincent–St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio.
James was the top prep player in the country and faced unbelievable expectations before playing a single second of NBA action. His prep career is genuinely interesting whether you like him or not, but “Shooting Stars” looks like a parody of a bad “SNL” sketch, judging from the trailer.

“Shooting Stars” about LeBron James looks like hot garbage.

University of Nebraska president Ted Carter sounds ready and willing to add more teams to the Big Ten.
Expansion and realignment remains one of the biggest stories in college sports as the PAC-12 fights for survival. Oregon and Washington have reportedly been vetted and cleared to join the B1G, but no official invite has come yet.
If it does come, the PAC-12 could collapse in a matter of days. If Carter has his way, the Big Ten is definitely not stopping with just USC and UCLA.
Nebraska president Ted Carter predicts massive expansion.

KCP was a key member of Los Angeles’ 2020 title team. Three years later, he’s one win from the NBA Finals with Denver.

Devin Haney survived his toughest test to date, taking a close unanimous decision over Vasiliy Lomachenko to retain his undisputed lightweight championship Saturday night.

Even on an off night by Nikola Jokić, the Nuggets proved they’re too good for the Lakers. Now they’re on the verge of their first NBA Finals berth.

Unlike Game 1, Matthew Tkachuk didn’t need four overtimes to score the winner in Game 2, as the winger posted a power-play tally in the first OT Saturday, giving the Panthers a 2-1 win and a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Final over the Hurricanes.
