This was amazing.
Rumors of the Nuggets demise were greatly exaggerated, and on Sunday night Denver went off to even their series against the Timberwolves and turn it into a best-of-three.
The best moment from the Nuggets’ 115-to-107 win wasn’t Nikola Jokic’s MVP-worthy game, or Aaron Gordon ascending to another plane where he couldn’t miss a shot — but a sequence at the close of the first half featuring Jamal Murray, which is truly destined to be iconic.

The Nuggets found the ultimate counter to the Timberwolves’ suffocating defense in the NBA Playoffs
No sequence can be more backbreaking than a series of events where a team not only was forced into making a mistake by their opponents — they started forcing themselves into boneheaded decisions that all but crippled their chances of winning the game.
That’s exactly what happened to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4 of their Western Conference Semifinals series against the Denver Nuggets.

Do people only like Caitlin Clark because she’s white?
As insane as it might be to read that line, it’s apparently a very real belief Las Vegas Aces forward A’ja Wilson has. Clark makes her WNBA regular season debut in Connecticut Tuesday night with the Fever against the Sun, and you’d think all the talk would be about the game.
It’s not. Instead, Wilson has decided to make the Indiana Fever rookie being the most popular women’s basketball player in the country about race.
“I think it’s a huge thing.

Former USMNT star Eric Wynalda was named in a battery report that took place at a youth soccer game earlier this month.
Wyanlda, who made 106 appearances and scored 34 goals in his international career from 1990-2000, was coaching his son’s youth soccer game when his son got injured. According to video obtained by TMZ, Wynalda was predictably displeased with the player who hurt his son (he did not return to the match).
After the tackle took place, players from the opposing team evidently started to trash talk Wynalda (also seen in clips from TMZ).

No prospect went through more adversity this season than Bronny James at USC.

The Washington Huskies’ shocking $2 million NIL player payment shows they’re ready for Big Ten
Washington Huskies men’s basketball wasted little time hiring a new head coach after firing Mike Hopkins late in the season. The program identified Danny Sprinkle as their top candidate after his tremendous debut season leading Utah State, and the two sides agreed to a deal once the Aggies were eliminated in the round of 32 of the 2024 NCAA tournament.

The PERFECT game to kick off the season.
The full NFL schedule will finally release on Wednesday after an unspecified delay led to the league holding off until May 15 — but we already know the big game kicking off the 2024 season. We will get an AFC Championship game rematch between the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs.

F1 is back this week, and so is Ollie Bearman
Earlier this season Ollie Bearman delivered a stunning result in his Formula 1 debut.
Now the young driver is “looking forward” to returning to F1 action.
Bearman, a member of the Ferrari driver program and a reserve for both the Scuderia and Haas, is set to drive in FP1 in this week’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix for Haas.

Things escalated quickly for Xander Schauffele, and not in a good way, during Sunday’s final round at the Wells Fargo Championship. While his struggles down the stretch were just as noteworthy as Rory McIlroy’s dominance around Quail Hollow, we didn’t learn anything we didn’t already know.
Also, McIlroy’s win deserves an asterisk next to it because of one man’s absence from the field.
