Jamal Murray scored 37 and Nikola Jokic was the closer as Denver put LeBron James and Los Angeles on the brink of a sweep in the West finals.

It’s official, NBA referees are the toughest guys on the court. Exhibit A: Scott Foster, who was trucked by LeBron James to the point of drawing blood.
And yet he stayed in the game.
It happened late in the first half of Game 3 between the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets. The Lakers inbounded the ball after a Nuggets basket. However, as LeBron turned to run upcourt he didn’t check to make sure the coast was clear and ran directly into Foster.

Two-time MVP Nikola Jokić is the clear headliner for the Nuggets, but Jamal Murray has arguably been the best player on the floor for Denver so far in the Western Conference finals. The 26-year-old guard has taken things to another level so far on Saturday night.
Murray leads all scorers with 30 points in the first half, leading the Nuggets to a 58–55 halftime lead over the Lakers. He’s 13-for-20 from the field and 4-for-8 from three-point range, adding four rebounds in 21 minutes.

Katherine Legge is the only woman in this year’s Indianapolis 500 field, and just the 10th to ever qualify for the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.
Saturday was the first day of qualifying for the Indy 500. All 34 drivers vying to make the 33-car field had around six hours to lay down 4 laps as fast as they possibly can. The top 12 will compete for pole on Sunday, while the bottom 4 will compete for the three places on the back row of the grid, with one of them going home.
So, the only positions on the grid set in stone Saturday afternoon were P13 through P30.

Clayton Kershaw has been the Dodgers’ only healthy starting pitcher this season.

The Toronto Blue Jays made an easily avoidable mistake that forced them to pull starting pitcher Alek Manoah much sooner than they would have liked.
There were quite a few new rules introduced at the start of the 2023 MLB season. Yeah, it’s May, but some of the rules are still sinking for some teams, and in this case, managers.
The Blue Jays were hosting Baltimore Orioles and in the sixth inning, Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker visited Manoah after he gave up a single with one out.
