The Nuggets have taken care of business in each of the first three games of the Western Conference finals, jumping out to a 3–0 lead in the series against the Lakers.
Despite their encouraging position, sitting just one win away from an NBA Finals berth, Nikola Jokić isn’t looking past Monday’s game. Needing a win in Los Angeles to close out the series, Jokić admitted he’s still worried about the task at hand. 
“To be honest, I’m not going to say that I’m scared.

People head to the ballpark hoping to see offense and home runs. But pitching and defense remain an incredibly important part of the game. On Sunday afternoon, Major League Baseball had defense on full display as several MLB players posted ridiculous plays.
Let’s start with Toronto Blue Jays centerfielder Kevin Kiermaier. Kiermaier is known for his glove work and is a three-time Gold Glove Award winner (2015, ’16, ’19). On Sunday, he tracked down a long fly ball, timed his leap perfectly, and stole an extra-base hit from Baltimore Orioles hitter Gunna Henderson.

Brooks Koepka won his fifth major championship by firing a 67 Sunday, giving him a 2-shot victory over Viktor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler.

After losing the first two games at home, Boston better figure out how to contain Jimmy Butler if it wants to avoid a huge hole in the East finals.

Chandler Stephenson scored early in overtime to lift the Golden Knights to a 2-0 series lead against the Stars on Sunday afternoon.

“It was really important to play like this in my debut,” Stewart said. “Because I want people to be here and I want them to come back.

PGA club pro Michael Block sank a hole in one on the par-3 15th during his final round of the PGA Championship and people can’t believe how he did it.
Michael Block was already the most amazing story of the 2023 PGA Championship. But what the 46-year-old did Sunday afternoon is truly amazing.
Block sank a hole in one on the fly on the par-3 15th. Rory McIlroy can be seen giving him a hug and breaking the news to him, as the club pro from Southern California is in disbelief.

It’s been a long road home for Mercury center Brittney Griner.
Incarcerated in Russia for nearly 10 months on drug smuggling charges, Griner was freed in a prisoner swap on Dec. 8. Much of the basketball world united around campaigning for her return, and she was greeted with an ovation before her first game against the Sparks on Friday night in Los Angeles.
Sunday afternoon, she returned home to Phoenix’s Footprint Center, where another thunderous welcome awaited her. It had been 585 days since Griner last played at home in the 2021 WNBA Finals against the Sky.

Michael Block’s fairytale week isn’t over yet as the PGA pro slam dunked a hole-in-one on the par-3 15th, as if this story couldn’t get any sweeter.
Michael Block isn’t finished winning over the Oak Hill Country Club fans as he slam dunked a hole-in-one on the par-3 15th. The ball didn’t roll in but went straight in on the fly. A hole in one is rare enough, but to do it that way is even more incredible.
Block couldn’t believe it either, and he kept saying, “No way. No Way.

It’s official: no matter who wins the PGA Championship, the story is Michael Block. The PGA professional, who isn’t even a member of the PGA Tour, has captured the hearts of America.
Not only did Block make the cut — an incredible accomplishment in its own right — but he’s remained in contention with some of the best golfers on the planet. Block told CBS reporter Amanda Renner that he spends so much time teaching golf to his students that he only hits about one bucket per week.
Talk about giving hope to all us amateur golfers out there.
