Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry felt the highest of highs leading his team to an NBA championship over the Boston Celtics two years ago. On Sunday night, the emotional pendulum swung in the other direction.
Curry’s Warriors got thumped by the Celtics, 140–88, at TD Garden in Golden State’s fourth-worst blowout in franchise history. On a night when Curry went ice-cold from deep, going 0-for-9 on three-pointers, the Warriors saw their midseason momentum come to a screeching halt.
After the 52-point defeat, Curry had an incredibly blunt reaction to how the game played out.

Draymond Green admitted after the Golden State Warriors’ 140–88 loss against the Boston Celtics that the team’s defensive gameplan was implemented “like 15 minutes” before tipoff.
It’s safe to say that their strategy—which appeared to be to simply let Jaylen Brown take uncontested shots—backfired massively, during what was ultimately a 52-point blowout. 
Brown led the game in scoring, dropping a highly-efficient 29 points in just 22 minutes while shooting 11-of-19 from the field, including 5-of-10 from three-point range. He put up 19 points in the first quarter alone.

College basketball is a game of runs. Teams go up big only to blow leads. Andy Kennedy, a longtime college hoops coach, knows this very well. His UAB Blazers completely dominated the Memphis Tigers in the first half on Sunday night. 
The Blazers entered the game as seven-point underdogs, but came out firing on the road against the Tigers. Memphis is fighting for its NCAA Tournament life as a team currently on the outside looking on. 
But for the first 18 minutes and 55ish seconds, UAB looked like the team battling for its season.

Tiger Woods will play in a tournament in Florida, but it is at an event he has never played in before.
Tiger Woods is teeing it up again.
He will play in the Seminole Golf Club Pro-Member Tournament alongside Seth Waugh, the PGA of America CEO, on Monday, Mar. 4.
That’s quite the departure of expectation after we all witnessed the ambulances at his Genesis Invitational a couple of weeks ago.

Tom Kim walked after his par putt and immediately jogged to the next tee box. Billy Horschel sprinted to the 17th green. Rory McIlroy hit his approach into the treacherous par-5 18th at PGA National in conditions that were probably darker than last week’s “under the lights” primetime Match. 
It’s not a sight you see often, but the players in the field at the Cognizant Classic did everything they could to finish as much golf as possible before play was ultimately suspended on Sunday evening in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

What kind of effect would Swift have on the LPGA as women’s golf is currently on the rise and gaining popularity?
Taylor Swift and her Eras Tour has taken over the world.
She left quite an impact on the male-dominated sport of football. The question is how much influence could she have on a female sport like women’s golf?
She doesn’t necessarily play, but Swift consistently uses a neon golf club when she sings the song “Blank Space” at her shows.

The Iowa star delivered another classic performance Sunday, beating No. 2 Ohio State and passing Pete Maravich as the NCAA’s all-time scoring champ.

We all know NBA players are soft, but do NBA refs feel even more entitled than the players they govern?
MLB isn’t the league wrecked by the ‘human element’ among officials. NBA referees had a s***ty run this week: starting with a baffling no-call on Monday between the Knicks and Pistons; then a game Saturday night when Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray received one of the most absurd technical foul calls in recent memory.
Murray’s tech prompted serious questioning.

The Golden State Warriors entered play on Sunday as winners of six of their last seven games, but their hopes of continuing that strong run of form were quickly dashed against the Boston Celtics, who dismantled them by 52 points, 140–88. 
It was a birthday to remember for Jayson Tatum, as the Celtics broke out on a huge 50–11 run during the first half, turning what was once a 21–21 game in the first quarter into an 82–34 blowout come halftime.
