In his Stanley Cup playoff debut, New Jersey defenseman Luke Hughes, 19, had two points, and his brother, Jack Hughes, 21, had four more as the Devils defeated the Carolina Hurricanes, 8-4, Sunday in Game 3, cutting their series deficit down to 2-1.

The Dodgers–Padres matchup on Sunday Night Baseball included some late-game dramatics as Mookie Betts tied the game in the ninth inning with a solo home run. 
Betts’s brilliant piece of hitting forced extra innings between the NL West rivals, and prompted a surprising comment from one member of the broadcasting booth. 
After his Betts’s late heroics, ESPN analyst Eduardo Perez fired off a shot at San Diego outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr., seemingly suggesting that the 24-year-old wasn’t a true MLB superstar.

For UCLA softball utility Maya Brady, delivering her family’s biggest sports accomplishment in any given year is a tall order.
Such if life when your uncle is former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion and surefire Hall of Famer. However, Maya Brady may be well on her way.
Brady hit .456 in 2023 to win the Pac-12 batting title, the 16th won by a Bruin in the program’s 48-year history. She finished the season with a .456/.519/.873 slash line, 16 home runs, 56 RBIs and 59 runs—all career highs.
UCLA is 47–4 and ranked No.

Ladies and gentlemen … the Phoenix Suns. *eye roll*
The notoriously soft organization was back to pestering their opponents on Sunday, with their owner at the center of a tiff.
Things almost went sideways in Game 4 between Phoenix and the Denver Nuggets when a spat broke out between Nikola Jokic and new Suns owner Matt Ishbia.
Two minutes before the end of the first half, Jokic chased after the ball as it went out of bounds. The ball landed with Ishbia, who wouldn’t let go until Joker ripped it out of his hands.

A heated Game 4 between the Nuggets and Suns was unexpectedly interrupted on Sunday by a bizarre sideline interaction between Nikola Jokić and Phoenix owner Mat Ishbia that led to discipline for the Denver star center.
The incident occurred after Jokić tried to secure a rebound after blocking Deandre Ayton’s layup with Denver up, 56–55, at the 2:36 mark of the second quarter. Jokić and Suns guard Josh Okgie attempted to corral the ball before it tumbled out of bounds and into the hands of what appeared to be a fan in the front row.

Was this a flop?
Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic earned a technical foul for shoving Suns governor Mat Ishbia during the second quarter of Game 4 of the Denver Nuggets vs. Phoenix Suns second round series in the 2023 NBA Playoffs.
Jokic had just blocked a layup from Deandre Ayton, but the Suns touched it last and it was set to be Nuggets ball. Ishbia appeared to briefly hold the ball in the stands when Jokic ran over and tried to grab it so he could inbound it. Jokic ripped the ball out of Ishbia’s hands, and the ball landed a few rows back.
