On a night where things went from bad to worse for Dillon Brooks, the Grizzlies guard found himself on the receiving end of a scathingly honest assessment from ESPN analyst Doris Burke during Saturday’s 111–101 Game 3 loss to the Lakers.
With Memphis trailing 10–2 early in the first quarter, Brooks was preparing to inbound the ball when Burke and fellow analyst Mark Jones got into a conversation about the 27-year-old’s game.

Giannis Antetokounmpo did individual work on the court Sunday as he recovers from a back contusion. Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said the team will continue to monitor him.

After their best performance of the series in Game 3, without Draymond Green in the lineup, the Warriors decided to have the veteran forward come off the bench in Game 4, sources confirmed to ESPN.

You don’t need good pipes to sing; just a bit of Hart.
There’s guys in the NBA, such as Dillon Brooks, who make a career out of being despised by general basketball audiences. Then there’s New York Knicks guard Josh Hart, who’s just down to have fun and win basketball games.
Hart was feeling euphoric on Sunday as his team prepared to take a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Have you heard that ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith is a Knicks fan?
The veteran analyst has waxed poetic about his native New York in the past, mostly in miserable circumstances. This Sunday, however, was different.
The Knicks torched the Cavaliers in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference first-round series, throwing Cleveland into reverse in a 102–93 win. Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell was rendered a non-factor with 11 points, while New York guards Jalen Brunson and RJ Barrett combined for 55 points between them.

It was a very big deal when DJ Uiagalelei committed to Clemson. The five-star, top-10 recruit was set to take over for Trevor Lawrence and continue the Tigers’ reign near the top of college football.

Three years later, at the end of the 2022/23 season, the tide had completely changed. It was if Uiagalelei couldn’t get out of town fast enough.
Clemson lost three games in back-to-back years, with Uiagalelei at the helm, and the quarterback play played an undeniable role in their struggles.

Here’s how the purse was paid out for champs Davis Riley and Nick Harday, and all those who made the cut at the Zurich.

It was Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia.
Only it was all about Tank Davis.
It was two fighters with knockout power. But only one showed it.
It was a super fight … that turned out super one-sided.
The stars were out inside T-Mobile Arena on Saturday. Mark Wahlberg and Michael B. Jordan. Manny Pacquiao and Mike Tyson. Damian Lillard and Dr. J. On the same night the Lakers faced the Grizzlies in Los Angeles, the marquee event was in Las Vegas. In front of north of 20,000 fans, Davis and Garcia battled for the spotlight. Over seven rounds, Davis was the one who took it.

There are few things in life that are more passionate than the rivalry between Army and Navy. Although both sides could one day walk into battle alongside one another as Americans, they are enemies until that day comes.
Take Saturday’s lacrosse game for example. The grittiness of the two sides was on full display.

When @NavyMLax and @ArmyWP_MLax play you can expect % PURE EFFORT!

Regardless of the sport, regardless of the records, Army vs. Navy means everything to both military institutions.

Lakers guard D’Angelo Russell went viral for a hilarious press conference sequence following his team’s Game 3 victory over the Grizzlies on Saturday night.
Russell was told by an unidentified Lakers or league staff member to put his drink away during the postgame press conference because it isn’t partnered with the NBA. The drink, coco5, is partnered with several big names like Russell, Derrick Rose, Charles Barkley and Devin Booker, who is the majority owner and ambassador. 
But, instead of putting it away, Russell said, “You gonna have to fine me.
