Mbappé makes history to put PSG on brink of Ligue 1 title

Kylian Mbappé scored twice to make more history with Paris Saint-Germain and put the team on the verge of a record-extending 12th Ligue 1 title, with a 4-1 away victory versus second-from-bottom Lorient on Wednesday. Luis Enrique’s side will now seal the Ligue 1 crown if they defeat Le Havre at home on Saturday after nearest-challengers Monaco delayed their title celebrations by defeating Lille later on Wednesday. Mbappé’s brace took his tally for PSG to 255 goals in all competitions, breaking a tie with Roger Courtois for the most top flight goals with a single club in the history of French football. Courtois scored 253 in all competitions for […]

Ryan Garcia scores 3 knockdowns in wild upset of Devin Haney

Ryan Garcia’s fitness to fight was questioned in the lead-up to his fight with Devin Haney, a turbulent promotion that was highlighted by Garcia’s erratic comments. Garcia (25-1, 20 KOs) was a major underdog and virtually counted out entering Saturday evening. His blinding, powerful left hook turned the tide as Garcia scored three knockdowns to pull the upset via majority decision at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. One judge scored the fight 112-112 but was overruled by scores of 114-110 and 115-109 for Garcia. However, Garcia wasn’t eligible to win Haney’s WBC junior welterweight title after he weighed 143.2 pounds Friday for the […]

D’Angelo Russell falters late as Lakers drop Game 1

As much as the story of the Los Angeles Lakers’ season has been centered on the team looking to make up for its flameout in the Western Conference finals a year ago to pursuit a championship, there’s also been a personal redemption arc for point guard D’Angelo Russell. However Saturday’s 114-103 Game 1 loss to the Denver Nuggets, where Russell missed 13 of his final 16 shot attempts and scored 13 points, brought to mind some of his past struggles. “D-Lo is a huge reason why we’re here in the first place,” Lakers coach Darvin Ham said. “I’m not going to bail out on my […]

Lakers survive Pelicans’ rally, advance to matchup vs. Nuggets

LeBron James posted 23 points, 9 assists and 9 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers secured a playoff berth with a 110-106 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans in the Western Conference play-in tournament on Tuesday night. Zion Williamson had 40 points and 11 rebounds in his NBA postseason debut. But shortly after tying the game at 95 on a driving layup with 3:19 to go, Williamson went to the locker room, throwing a towel to the floor in disgust as he walked into the tunnel with an apparent injury. After the game, Pelicans coach Willie Green stated Williamson had “left leg soreness.” “He’s going to have some […]

Max Holloway wins BMF with last-second KO of Justin Gaethje

The BMF title is not a real championship, but Max Holloway did the gimmick proud on Saturday night with an explosive last-second knockout of Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 in Las Vegas. Holloway (26-7), a former featherweight champion competing at lightweight in this fight, was in control from the start, with faster hands and elusive footwork that made it difficult for Gaethje (25-5) to find him. For Gaethje, the defending BMF belt holder, the fight became increasingly difficult after Holloway connected with a spinning back kick to the face right before the horn to end Round 2. The kick busted up Gaethje’s nose, and […]

Lottie Woad clutches out Augusta National Women’s Amateur

Bob Shoemaker stood under a tree near the Augusta National Golf Club clubhouse on Saturday shortly after his daughter, Bailey, made a clutch 5-foot par putt on the 18th hole to maintain a 1-stroke lead in the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. Shoemaker put a plastic Snoopy golf club in Bailey’s hands when she was 1½ years old, and now the USC freshman was on the verge of possibly winning the premier event in women’s amateur golf. After Shoemaker carded a bogey-free 6-under 66, the lowest final round in the five-year history of the ANWA, there was only one player left […]

Danielle Collins wins first Miami Open as career nears end

Danielle Collins had the perfect send-off at her final Miami Open, defeating Elena Rybakina 7-5, 6-3 on Saturday to capture the title in her home state before an adoring crowd that included Andre Agassi and Martina Navratilova. The 30-year-old Collins announced at the Australian Open that this season would be her last because she’s suffering from endometriosis, an ailment that affects the uterus. On her fourth match point, Collins hit a backhand crosscourt winner, then bent over for 10 seconds without moving. “That game took a lot out of me and Elena was pushing me all around the court,” Collins said. “At the […]
