New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein stated he heard the roar from the locker room. Jalen Brunson, who had exited with a right foot injury late in the first quarter of Wednesday night’s Game 2 versus the Indiana Pacers, had returned to the Madison Square Garden floor during halftime to see if he could push through the pain. The moment he walked through the tunnel, the crowd erupted.

Kylian Mbappé takes blame for PSG Champions League exit

Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappé gets the credit when his team wins. And to his credit, he took the blame when they lost on Tuesday. The France international stated his team’s loss to Dortmund in the Champions League semifinals — which concluded 2-0 on aggregate after PSG’s 1-0 loss in the second leg — was down to missed opportunities, a few of which came from him. “I tried to help my team as best as I could but I didn’t do enough,” Mbappé said after the game at Parc des Princes. “When we talk about being efficient in the boxes, I think I’m the one […]

McLaren’s Norris says Miami GP win was a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if’

Lando Norris stated he knew his first Formula One conquest was a matter of when, not if, and that he never shared the doubts of his harshest critics. Norris won at the Miami circuit which snakes around the outside of the Hard Rock Stadium, his first in 110 starts. Before Sunday he had the unenviable record of the most podium finishes without winning. The Englishman has for a long time been considered one of the sport’s most exciting talents but until Sunday had been unable to convert it to a victory.

Liverpool finally found some form in a 4-2 Premier League triumph over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in much-loved manager Juergen Klopp’s penultimate game at Anfield. Strikes from Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott secured a much needed victory for Klopp’s men, who had won one of their previous five league matches and seen their title challenge crumble. While still mathematically in with a chance finishing top of the pile, they are five points off leaders Arsenal in the table with two games left and four points behind holders Manchester City, who have a game in hand over both. “It was a disappointing few weeks where the results were not what we […]
