Jamal Murray leads way for Nuggets in his return to playoffs

Jamal Murray had to sit and watch from the sideline for the Denver Nuggets’ past two postseason appearances. So when he finally got back on the court for a Denver playoff match Sunday night, emotions were running a little high. “I haven’t felt that much excitement in a minute, probably since the beginning of the season,” Murray said. It was Murray’s first playoff game since Sept. 26, 2020, which came in the NBA bubble, and his first playoff game at home since May 12, 2019 — back when Ball Arena was still called the Pepsi Center. After missing his first five shots […]

Canada through to Billie Jean King Cup finals with 3-2 win over Belgium

Grinding through adversity made a big victory that much sweeter for some of Canada’s top women’s tennis players this weekend.

It’s the first time in four meetings that Canada has bested Belgium in the women’s World Cup of tennis competition. “A lot of ups and downs, a total roller-coaster ride,” doubles specialist Gabriela Dabrowski said of the two-day competition. “We thought we were down and out.

Thunder oust Pelicans in play-in, to face Wolves for 8-seed

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had been here before. The Oklahoma City Thunder guard had been in big situations and the playoffs before and had a poise about him Wednesday night when his team traveled to New Orleans as the No. 10 seed to take on the Pelicans. “When your leader is not flustered and under control out there, it’s a spiral effect,” Thunder guard Josh Giddey said. “Guys see that and feed off it.” After one of his worst first halves of the season statistically, Gilgeous-Alexander had 25 second-half points and led the Thunder to a 123-118 victory to let Oklahoma City to play for the No. 8 seed in […]

Max Muncy hits 2 HRs for 7 RBIs to power Dodgers past Giants

The way his season started in the batter’s box, Max Muncy realized he had to find a rhythm again. He had abandoned the step-back move with his left leg in a remake of his mechanics. But, suddenly, he was thinking too much, chasing pitches and struggling to correctly recognize what pitchers were throwing his way. Anxiety hit hard as the Los Angeles Dodgers slugger started 1-for-16, then 4-for-33 as he studied film and made tweaks — until everything finally felt right again Monday night. And the tried-and-true move with his left leg, he brought that back, too. Muncy hit a grand slam and a […]

Jessica Pegula, Madison Keys cruise into 2nd round at Charleston

Top-seeded Jessica Pegula and past champion Madison Keys easily won second-round games at the Charleston Open on Wednesday.
