With the Warriors trailing the Spurs by three points and only 8.7 seconds left on the clock, Golden State clearly wanted to find Stephen Curry because, you know, he’s the greatest shooter in basketball history. San Antonio guard Dejounte Murray did a nice job of denying Curry, though, so the ball found its way to Green.

Boston received good performances from both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in Game 2; however, Golden State made sure that the trio of Al Horford, Marcus Smart, and Derrick White was held in check. Golden State leaned on Steph Curry, who led the team with a game-high 29 points and is now the betting favorite to win Finals MVP. The Warriors also saw Jordan Poole snap out of his Game 1 slump and play a major role in one of their patented third-quarter runs....

The Warriors were not one of the favorites to come out of the West at the beginning of the season, but a hot start to their 2021-22 campaign ensured they returned to their status as one of the most feared teams as Steph Curry also found some of his MVP form. Curry did not have his best shooting night against the Mavs, but finished with 21 points and a game-high 12 rebounds as the Dubs cruised to a 112-97 win to take a 1-0 lead....

Fans always find it difficult to choose the best weapons and best class set-up because of the arsenal that the game possesses.

Well, not quite. Last week the Catholic Theological Society of America passed a resolution that politely begged to differ. “There are serious doubts regarding the nature of the authority of this teaching,” the society held. “There is serious, wide, spread disagreement on this question not only among theologians, but also within the larger community of the Church.” It was the first time that any official body of Catholic theologians in the world had dared to question the pope’s judgment on women priests....

After Sunday’s beatdown at Carolina, in which Kirk Cousins committed three turnovers in a 44-16 loss, we’re still wondering why the team reportedly has entered preliminary contract discussions with the quarterback. His refined play this season can’t mask the fact that he’s still Kirk Cousins. MORE: What we learned about Panthers, ‘Skins | PHOTOS: Best of Week 11 “I think when you are evaluating anybody on this football team, it’s hard to give anybody a positive grade,” coach Jay Gruden said after the loss when asked about Cousins’ performance....

The team’s gritty fourth-line forward received a three-game suspension prior to the game for spitting on Ducks defenseman Erik Gudbranson on Monday following a punch to the face. He had a hearing on Tuesday, where he had a “fair chance to explain my side” of the story before the decision came out a day later. According to Hathaway, the league categorized the situation under “intent to injure.” The NHL rulebook cites intent to injure in Rule 21....

To get right to it, there is no way to perform a traditional character respec in Wasteland 3, which means that once skill points have been spent there is simply no going back. While this is certainly not extremely unusual, and indeed some of the most-popular RPGs of all time do not allow for respecs, it does mean that characters can be put into an irreparable state in Wasteland 3....

As many fans no doubt know, the Iron Throne was forged by Aegon the Conqueror after 6 of the 7 independent kingdoms of Westeros submitted to his rule. Many would sit on the throne over the years, but it was often a symbol of foreboding and Mad Kings. For example, Joffrey and Aerys II Targaryen both sat upon the throne and abused its power. Others would occasionally grace the chair, but wars were fought after Robert Baratheon’s death about who would sit on it, and Wasteland 3 builds on this similar premise....

During an intermission of a Montreal Canadiens game, a bunch of kids aged four to eight took to the ice to participate in a scrimmage. Unfortunately for one goalie, his equipment kept dragging him down and he couldn't get to his spot between the posts in a timely manner. A photographer stepped in to help usher him along, but it was to no avail. Finally, sensing the boy's struggle, a referee skated over and scooped him up, delivering him to the goal just before a flurry of activity....

Not a bunch of arrogant automatons–as generations of Yankee haters have called them–but an honorable, vulnerable, human collection of players. They celebrated, they wept, they embraced their children, the fans and each other. They doused each other with nonalcoholic champagne. Abner Doubleday, meet Oprah Winfrey. This was a team any mother could love; on talk radio, a few Red Sox fans even called to offer bittersweet congratulations. It was enough to make one wonder if all things were possible in baseball....

The national team has been in a form slump since a ball-tampering scandal in March and Cricket Australia has seen a clean-out of top executives after a scathing review blamed its culture as partly contributing to players cheating.

After seeing her husband hold an emotional press conference on Saturday, Candice Warner has said she blames herself for what occurred on day three of the third Test against South Africa. Batsman Warner was handed a 12-month suspension from all international and Australian domestic cricket for his part in the premeditated plan to alter the condition of the ball.
