The back-to-back NBA champions appeared set to move up 2-0 in their Western Conference first-round series when they led by 31 in the third quarter, but the Clippers rallied to win, 135-131, and complete the biggest comeback in NBA playoff history. Golden State suffered big home losses in the regular season to the Celtics, Mavericks and Lakers, and Curry was at a loss to explain their latest misstep. “If I had the answer for it, a night like tonight wouldn’t happen,” he told reporters....

Taking the Golden State Warriors to the playoffs and breaking into his first All-Star team, Stephen Curry established himself as one of the best guards in the league last season. Last year, Curry led the NBA with 261 3-pointers during the regular season, which was 38 more than any other player and his average of 24 points per game stood as the seventh best in the league. Well his good performance and the praises heaped on him seem to have given his confidence a boost....

Damary Dawkins, a Crystal Palace youth team player who had been fighting acute lymphoblastic leukaemia for four years, died on Sunday aged 13. Sterling’s t-shirt under his England jersey had a photo of Dawkins and the message “May your soul rest in peace.” But the tribute in the European Championship qualifier, which England won 5-0, could lead to action by governing body UEFA. The laws of football state that “players must not reveal undergarments that show political, religious, personal slogans, statements or images, or advertising other than the manufacturer’s logo....

Raheem Sterling was back on a football pitch and ready to entertain against Hoffenheim From this side of the touchline, it is impossible to imagine what these past few days might have felt like for the England forward, whose thoughtful and pointed post to Instagram after suffering alleged racist abuse during City’s loss at Chelsea has caused no end of discussion.

Nearly everyone I met in New York thought Mamaroneck was a terrific school because its parents were rich and its state scores high, even though its building was in bad shape and its policy of reserving AP only for students with top grades made no sense. Nearly everyone I met in Los Angeles thought Garfield was a terrible school because its parents were poor and its state scores low, even though it was doing much more to prepare average and below-average students for college than any other school I knew....

While Ridley went into the season expecting to get a heavy load, one that was expected to increase when change-of-pace complement Shane Vereen went on the shelf with a wrist injury, he's now in a full committee with LeGarrette Blount and Brandon Bolden. So, if he can't go this week at Cincinnati, it's something the Patriots are equipped to handle with Blount taking over the power-back early-down duties and Bolden seeing the third-down snaps....

Bannon, a former advisor to Donald Trump, arrived at the FBI’s field office in Washington D.C. on Monday morning. Before entering the building, Bannon addressed his supporters in a livestream posted to the social media platform GETTR. He also posted a livestream of his surrender to his website “War Room,” where he posts a daily podcast. “I don’t want anybody to take their eye off the ball of what we do every day,” Bannon said....

Of late this game has been as one-sided as it gets as the Rams have reeled off nine straight wins against the mighty whites. Those were already potent ingredients for an exciting game but adding the extra twist of the sacking of Clough junior and replacing him with the “Wally with the Brolly” has brought this recipe to an intriguing boil. Will McClaren benefit from the “new manager” syndrome or will he become the first manager to lose to Leeds in 10 games?...

Moreover, in his last 50 innings, the master batsman has scored 3019 runs in Test cricket.

“We thought, ‘Oh, crap, what kind of year is this going to be?’” Bird reminisced. The answer came nearly four months later with a championship. Stewart led the Storm to their third WNBA title Wednesday night, scoring 30 points in a 98-82 victory over the Washington Mystics in Game 3 of the best-of-five series. Natasha Howard added career-high 29 points and 14 rebounds for the Storm. Seattle won 26 games during the regular season — 11 more than the 2017 campaign — entered the playoffs as the No....
