The NBA deemed no issues with the ruling over Al Horford’s foul on Jimmy Butler late in Game 6 in its Last Two Minute report.

Emiliano Grillo didn’t care if he was waiting to play in a playoff or not — he made these two kids’ day and the golf world praised him for it.
Emiliano Grillo was on the verge of capturing his second career PGA Tour win Sunday at the Charles Schwab Challenge. However, his wayward tee shot that rolled endlessly down a stream led him to a double bogey. He was left hoping for a chance at a playoff. That would have left most golfers in a bad place mentally. Not Grillo.

Plenty of NBA fans were confused by the ending of Game 6 between the Heat and Celtics. 
After a late foul from Al Horford during a Jimmy Butler three-point attempt, officials reviewed the play and awarded the Miami forward three free throws. Additionally, the referees added 0.9 seconds back to the clock, leaving Boston with 3.0 seconds to save their season.
Of course, they managed to do just that, as Derrick White tipped in a missed jump shot from Marcus Smart to lift Boston over Miami, 104–103. 
Fans were up in arms over the decision to add 0.

I’m not sure roller coaster even begins to describe the ending to Emiliano Grillo’s Charles Schwab Challenge victory on Sunday evening. I’m going to do my best to recap the craziness, but I’m not sure I have the linguistic skills to truly capture the insanity.
Heading into the final hole of his tournament, Emiliano Grillo held a two-shot lead over Harry Hall and Adam Schenk. With his competitors still on the course, Grillo thought he needed to lock in that -10 score.

In the never-ending debate regarding who’s the best player in the NBA, only one name stands above the rest in the eyes of Damian Lillard. And, given the recent run of dominance from said player, it’s not hard to understand why he’s earned the Blazer star’s respect.
Lillard cast his pick for who he thinks “might be the best player” in the NBA while speaking with fans Saturday on Instagram Live, and went with none other than Nuggets center and two-time MVP Nikola Jokić. The 11-year veteran even offered his own breakdown of Jokić’s skillset just to drive his point across.

Josef Newgarden finally captured his long-awaited Indianapolis 500 on Sunday and gave team owner Roger Penske his 19th and first since buying Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

USA Today columnist Nancy Armour wrote over 800 words this Memorial Day Weekend attacking ESPN host Sam Ponder. What did Ponder do to upset Armour that much? Ponder had the audacity to call for “fairness” in women’s sports.
It’s getting difficult to track all the things that make one a “bigot” in 2023. But, apparently, it’s time to add wanting “fairness” in sports to the list.

Scottie Pippen made his disdain for Michael Jordan known, once again, over the weekend on the heels of his latest scathing remarks critiquing the legacy of his iconic Bulls teammate.
In an Instagram post shared on Saturday, Pippen took a moment to congratulate himself with a recap of his journey to becoming one of the greatest NBA players of all time. While the post may’ve appeared harmless, the timing suggests it was anything but, considering Pippen—the No. 5 pick in 1987—recently claimed Jordan was a “horrible player” before he arrived in Chicago.

The Greatest Spectacle in Racing delivered — as it always does — with Josef Newgarden taking his long-awaited first-ever Indianapolis 500 win.
The two-time IndyCar Series champion finally got the monkey off his back by taking the lead on the backstretch in a one-lap shootout.

And to say he was pumped is an understatement. He parled his No.
