The Islanders pulled out yet another overtime win — their eighth in eight tries this season — and another two points from a game where they didn’t have their best and their opponent left feeling like they deserved better.
Trailing 2-0 early in the second period, Ilya Sorokin kept the Isles in the game long enough for them to mount a comeback, tying it with two goals in 22 seconds and even taking a 3-2 lead five minutes later.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealander Daniel Hillier held off a late charge from Australian Lucas Herbert Sunday to defend his overnight lead and to win the 105th New Zealand Open by two shots.
Hillier also overcame strong winds and cold conditions to post a final round 67 for a 22-under four-round total of 262 at the par-72 Millbrook Resort. Herbert shot 67, finishing 20 under at 264.
The winner of the New Zealand Open receives automatic entry to The Open Championship but as Hillier already has qualified that prize passes to Herbert who will now play at Royal Birkdale from July 16.

In a shocking UFC Fight Night 268 main event, Lone’er Kavanagh master-classed former titleholder Brandon Moreno in enemy territory of Mexico City en route to a unanimous decision (49-46, 48-47, 48-47).
Coming off a loss, Kavanagh (10-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) was not the promotion’s first option as a replacement when original headliner Asu Almabayev withdrew.

INDIANAPOLIS — Coming into the NFL’s scouting combine, the quarterback spot was best summed up as Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza and then a lot of guys in need of development. After Saturday’s QB throwing session — which Mendoza skipped — that analysis held firm … but with some added intrigue.
The arm of Drew Allar? Didn’t disappoint, particularly on deep throws. The accuracy and mechanical efficiency of Ty Simpson? Evident. The athleticism of’ Taylen Green? Beyond absurd.

Michigan State and Ohio State played an absolute thrilling game on Saturday night, where regulation and overtime were not enough, but a shootout was needed to decide this high level Big Ten matchup.
After 13 rounds of a shootout, very fitting to the game that the two teams played on Saturday night, it was defenseman Colin Ralph that proved to be the hero for the Spartans, scoring the all-important go ahead goal, paving the way for Trey Augustine to make the game sealing save.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are collapsing for all to see.
If there had been any hope of them avoiding a trade deadline sell-off, it’s long gone now.
On Saturday, they were blitzed by the Ottawa Senators in a not-close 5-2 loss.
Ottawa outshot the Leafs by a 40-23 margin in a game that Toronto never really seemed to stand much of a chance in.

Khamzat Chimaev finds himself in hot water following the recent accusations flying his way. The UFC middleweight champion is considered one of the best fighters in the world, but that doesn’t give him the right to attack a veteran of the United States Air Force, as he’s being accused of.
‘Borz’ is one of the few elite-level fighters under the UFC banner that remain undefeated, boasting a 15-0 record.

Puyallup knew Lake Washington could shoot the three. The defensive gameplan coming into Saturday night’s Class 4A state tournament regional game at Bellevue College, in fact, was to limit open looks for the Kangs from deep.
Sometimes plans go awry.
Lake Washington knocked down eight 3-pointers in the second half and 11 total, running away from Puyallup, 72-56.
“We were trying to limit threes,” Puyallup senior forward Will Nasinec said. “We had a hard time with that.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr issued a mea culpa on Saturday, after appearing to question one of his newest players’ medical issues.
The Warriors acquired center Kristaps Porzingis from the Atlanta Hawks at the NBA trade deadline, only a few months after the 7-footer revealed he dealt with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) while playing for the Boston Celtics in last year’s playoffs.

You know things are going poorly for the Democratic Party when even Stephen A. Smith can see their obvious mistakes coming from a mile away.
At the recent State of the Union address, President Trump made some comments and statements so popular that almost anyone could agree with him. For example, saying that it should be the priority of United States politicians to put American citizens first ahead of illegal aliens. Well, when we say “almost” everyone, we’re obviously excluding the overwhelming majority of the Democratic Party who bothered to show up to it.

Mississippi State’s Brenen Thompson clocked a 4.26-second 40-yard dash Saturday, the third fastest by a wide receiver at the combine since 2003.

Marc Stein: Khris Middleton intends to finish the season with the Mavericks, sources close to the process tell @TheSteinLine. Middleton told me earlier this week that he would keep his options open into the weekend ahead of Sunday’s buyout deadline to be playoff-eligible with a new team.

Marc Stein: Denver was among the playoff teams with interest in signing Middleton via the buyout market but there has been pessimism all week that the former Bucks All-Star and champion could be lured away from Dallas, where he has settled quickly since arriving via the Anthony Davis trade.

Justin Russo: Kawhi Leonard missed today’s practice due to illness and we were told he would be listed as questionable for tomorrow’s game. However, Leonard is not listed on the official report the Clippers just submitted and thus appears good to go for tomorrow’s game.

The Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday night by a final score of 71-69.
The Tide entered the matchup fresh off an elite performance against Mississippi State, as Alabama defeated the Bulldogs 100-75. Alabama got off to a slow start offensively against the Volunteers, but the Tide were able to heat up in the second half of play to secure a massive road victory in Knoxville.
Here are three takeaways from Alabama’s thrilling victory over Tennessee.
