The defending Eastern Conference champions were up two in the waning stages of their game against the Celtics on Friday night.

It’s nice to see Nintendo reviving franchises lately. WarioWare in particular is an interesting but exciting choice to bring back, since it’s a little unorthodox in the current market as a minigame compilation. Nintendo does seem to like games like this, considering other franchises like Mario Party, so maybe Nintendo is trying to explore minigames again. If that’s the case, there’s another minigame series that it should look at. Rhythm Heaven hasn’t gotten a new game in quite a few years....

Warner said the tactic to put pressure on the spinner – denying him a chance to settle into a rhythm, putting pressure on his captain to remove him from the attack and, therefore, upping the workload on the seamers – had been a valid plan against Moeen’s predecessor Graeme Swann in the previous series. “When we talk about Graeme Swann, fantastic bowler. I think the difference with Swanny was he was very consistent and always in the same areas....

Warner, captain Steve Smith and young Cameron Bancroft were handed bans up to one year by CA last week following the ball-tampering scandal during their disastrous South Africa tour, which ended in an embarrassing 1-3 series defeat. CA had charged Warner for developing the plot and announced the 31-year-old won’t be considered for team leadership positions in the future. “I have today let Cricket Australia know that I fully accept the sanctions imposed on me....

The Warriors plan to visit with local students and tour the National Museum of African-American History and Culture on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday night’s game vs. the Wizards. MVP RACE: Can anyone catch James Harden? “The White House is a great honor, but there are other circumstances that we felt not comfortable going,” Warriors guard Klay Thompson told reporters Monday night. “We’re not going to politicize anything. We’re just going to go hang out with some kids and take them to the African-American Museum and teach them things we learned along the way, life lessons and hopefully give them some great memories....

Then, the second half started. The Warriors outscored the Mavs 68-45 over the final two frames on their way to a 126-117 win.

Dallas star Luka Doncic bounced back after a poor performance in Game 1, totaling 42 points, eight assists, five rebounds and three steals....

The Warriors inked the free agent center to a one-year deal in the offseason after he left the New Orleans Pelicans. But Kerr says it unlikely Cousins will be with Golden State in 2019-20, meaning the team’s aim is to win a championship with the 28-year-old and see him earn a move. “We made no bones about it when we signed [Cousins],” Kerr told reporters. “This is a one-year deal and we’re not going to have money to sign him next year....

And it doesn’t look like he’s scouting out a new place to play in 2015. Earlier this week, Paul Finebaum got things rolling when he said a source told him that there is a chance that the Ohio State quarterback could transfer to Tuscaloosa.

The Washington Wizards, who were without Russell Westbrook, were able to earn their second win in three games. The Wizards were led by their All-Star guard, Bradley Beal, who scored a game-high 32 points on 47.8% shooting. Meanwhile, the Miami Heat, who have been missing players all season due to health and safety protocols and other injuries, were finally back to full strength.

The left-hander seemed in good touch as he played some attacking strokes while batting in the nets. The player’s brother Hardik Pandya also reacted to the post with fire emojis.

Unfortunately for Petty, though, the play swung the game's momentum in the Cowboys' favor, not the Bears'.

Sala became Cardiff’s record signing when he moved from Nantes, but while crossing the English Channel his plane subsequently disappeared. Both Sala and pilot David Ibbotson remain missing, with the player’s family raising funds to launch their own private operation. Cardiff’s appeal for the Premier League to grant them an extension to the transfer window was turned down and Thursday’s deadline passed without a replacement arriving, although they brought in midfielder Leandro Bacuna from Reading for a reported £3million....

Cardiff was heading toward a key victory in its fight to avoid relegation, thanks to Victor Camarasa’s goal. But Cezar Azpilicueta headed in an equalizer from an offside position in the 84th minute after Marcos Alonso had flicked on Willian’s corner. Warnock was furious on the touchline and further enraged that Antonio Rudiger escaped a red card for dragging down Kenneth Zohore moments later with the striker breaking through on goal....

Perhaps the most famous and noteworthy bracket challenge of the last decade is Warren Buffett’s March Madness bracket challenge.

And, of course, there are smaller cash prizes available for the best brackets when a perfect one is inevitably not selected....

Sanders and Buttigieg both released preliminary and incomplete results compiled by their respective campaigns’ captains, with both suggesting that they had won in Iowa. Buttigieg took it a step further, declaring on Monday evening that he would go on to New Hampshire “victorious.” In Tuesday morning interviews, the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor doubled down on that claim. “Any campaign saying they won or putting out incomplete numbers is contributing to the chaos and misinformation,” Joe Rospars, Warren’s chief strategist, tweeted in an apparent criticism of the Massachusetts senator’s fellow contenders....
