James Harden lifts 76ers over Celtics with 45 points, late 3

As one second after another ticked off the clock, Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden continued to eye both the basket and his defender, Boston Celtics center Al Horford, with the Sixers trailing by one in the closing seconds of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Monday night. And, like he has countless times before in his Hall of Fame career, Harden saw the moment when he could create the separation necessary to get off his patented step-back jumper — and took it. When the ball softly dropped through the net for the final time for Harden on the night — tying his playoff career high of […]

Jimmy Butler has 56 to lead Heat comeback, put Bucks on brink

Jimmy Butler has heard the nickname before. He smiled and shook his head during his postgame news conference Monday night at the mention of the moniker “Playoff Jimmy.” “It’s not a thing,” he said with a laugh following the Miami Heat’s 119-114 win over the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference first-round series. “It’s not. I just be hooping.” Yet, Butler’s 56-point masterpiece is making it impossible to deny his playoff excellence. Butler matched the fourth-best scoring performance in an NBA playoff game to lead the Heat back from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit, stun the Bucks and push the NBA’s top overall seed […]

Jon Berti, Marlins avoid arbitration with $2.125M deal

Jon Berti reached an agreement Monday with the Miami Marlins for $2,125,000 that avoided an arbitration hearing.

Cavs’ Donovan Mitchell scores franchise-record 71 points in OT win

Already an All-Star, Donovan Mitchell added his name to one of the NBA’s most rarefied lists Monday night. Mitchell set a Cleveland record with 71 points, most by an NBA player in 17 years, and the Cavaliers rallied from 21 down to ddefeat the Chicago Bulls 145-134 in overtime Monday night. It was the most points in a game by any player since Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant had 81 versus Toronto on Jan. 22, 2006. Wilt Chamberlain owns the NBA record with 100 for Philadelphia versus New York on March 2, 1962, at Hershey, Pennsylvania. “To be there in the record book with guys like Wilt is truly humbling,” […]

Ravens say QB Lamar Jackson ‘week-to-week’ with knee inju

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is “week-to-week” with a knee injury after undergoing MRIs on Monday, coach John Harbaugh stated. “As the week goes on, we’ll see for this week,” Harbaugh said. “It’s probably less likely for this week but it’s not impossible. Then, after that, it’ll become more and more likely.” If Jackson is sidelined this week, backup Tyler Huntley would start for the Ravens (8-4), who play at the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-7) on Sunday. Huntley is 1-3 as a starter, throwing two touchdowns and four interceptions. In Sunday’s 10-9 triumph over the Denver Broncos, Jackson was hurt on the last play of the first quarter when […]

Nets’ Ben Simmons sounds off after fouling out for 2nd time in 3 games

Brooklyn Nets swingman Ben Simmons called several of the whistles he received “bulls—” following a 134-124 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night, noting that “refs make mistakes too.” While Simmons, who fouled out for the second time in three regular-season matches, was frustrated with many calls, the one that drew most of his ire was his sixth foul, called by official J.T. Orr with 3:52 left in the contest. Grizzlies guard Ja Morant slowly let the ball roll up the floor then collected it and stood there waiting for Simmons to make a move. Once Simmons came closer to Morant — who was standing a little over […]

Valdez pitches 1st shutout, Astros blank Tigers 7-0

Framber Valdez pitched his first career shutout and the Houston Astros defeated the Detroit Tigers 7-0 on Monday night. Valdez (15-5) posted his 24th consecutive quality start, tying New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom (2018) for the longest single-season streak. “This means a lot to me, because it means I’m helping the team when I’m pitching,” Valdez said through a translator. “They help me with their great defense and their offense, and I know I’m giving them a chance to win.” The All-Star left-hander gave up six hits and struck out eight with one walk. “That’s a monumental streak — a lot of great pitchers have never come close […]
