Over 3 million people watched Norris get the first F1 win of his career.

Rudy Gobert was out.
And Minnesota’s defense was suffocating.
Anthony Edwards had four first quarter points.
And the Timberwolves ended it with an eight-point lead.
The Nuggets are the defending champs led by the presumptive MVP.
And faced with playoff-level physicality, they crumbled.
Minnesota 106, Denver 80.
And, really–it wasn’t that close.
This wasn’t a game. It was a message. This was George Foreman-Joe Frazier. Mike Tyson-Trevor Berbick. Rocky Balboa-Clubber Lang. A Denver team has not taken this kind of bludgeoning since the Broncos spotted the Dolphins 70 points last fall.

The Met Gala took place on Monday night, and it’s a chance for everyone in the world to see wild, cutting-edge fashion and pretend we know things about high fashion. With dresses that cost more than our cars, and the only appropriate venue for men to wear capes, the Gala is a symphony of clothes you could never wear anywhere but the steps of The Met.

The fact that forward Lauri Markkanen has raised his stock as a player in two seasons with the Utah Jazz is beyond debate.
Since coming over to the Jazz in the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ trade for guard Donovan Mitchell, Markkanen has raised his career scoring average by nearly three full points per game. In 2023, the Vantaa, Finland native made an All-Star team and was voted the league’s Most Improved Player.
Precisely how much Markkanen has improved in the eyes of the league appears set to be tested this summer.

The last week of news has been relentless for Red Bull. The team confirmed the departure of Adrian Newey, as well as the shocking news that he would be able to sign with another team immediately, before heading to America for the Miami Grand Prix. Then Max Verstappen placed second in an upset, with McLaren’s Lando Norris earning his first career F1 victory. Now, Christian Horner is fending off the vultures.

The field is out for next week’s PGA Championship, and as expected the top 100 players in the Official World Golf Ranking are all on the list.
Actually, the top 103 in the world are in the 156-player field for Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky., as well as a couple of intriguing names at No. 644 and No. 801 in the world.
No. 801 is Tiger Woods, the four-time PGA champion who won in 2000 at Valhalla in a thrilling playoff over Bob May.

Nelly Korda, who has won five consecutive events on the LPGA Tour, won the night at the 2024 Met Gala in New York.
Nelly Korda, who has taken the golfing world by storm in recent months with her historic play on the LPGA, drew the attention of many at the Met Gala in New York City.
She donned a stunning dress with red and green floral patterns while wearing elegant silver jewelry. Korda received an invite from Casey Wasserman to attend the Met Gala, her first time doing so.

Edwards says he doesn’t want to be compared to MJ, but he knew exactly what he was doing by hitting The Shrug.
Anthony Edwards is the breakout star of the 2024 NBA Playoffs, and his incredible play for the Minnesota Timberwolves is causing so many people around basketball to reach for the most hallowed comparison in the sport.
Edwards went off for another scoring explosion as the Wolves pummeled the reigning champion Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of their second round series of the 2024 NBA Playoffs. The Wolves now have a 2-0 lead with the series heading back to Minnesota.

Jamal Murray was not happy during the Denver Nuggets’ blowout loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night. During a contentious second quarter, Murray threw a heat pack on the floor in the middle of action. On Tuesday morning’s edition of Get Up, Jay Williams and Tim Legler both agreed that Murray should earn a suspension.
Williams called the move immature and Legler pointed out how bad the injury could have been if Karl-Anthony Towns had stepped on it.

Minnesota keeps climbing up the NBA Finals odds.
