Stephen Curry Broke a Ray Allen NBA Finals Record In Warriors’ Game 2 Win
Ray Allen set a a single-game NBA Finals record with eight 3-point shots made in Game 2 in 2010 against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Boston Celtics, led by Allen’s long-range shooting, won that game at Staples Center to even the series at a win apiece. Fast forward eight years and Allen’s record has been broken. Warriors guard Stephen Curry broke Allen’s mark in the fourth quarter of Golden State’s Game 2 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night. Here’s a look at all nine of Curry’s 3-pointers.

Rodney Hood Explains Why It’s Been ‘Tough’ To Play With LeBron James
Rodney Hood was expected to be a key role player for the Cavaliers when Cleveland dealt for the 25-year-old forward at February’s NBA trade deadline. But things don’t always go as planned. After averaging a career-high 16.8 points per game through 39 games to start the season with the Utah Jazz, Hood’s production has considerably dipped in Cleveland. In fact, Hood has failed to see the court in six of the Cavaliers’ playoff games, including Thursday’s NBA Finals Game 1 loss to the Golden State Warriors. That said, Hood’s tenure with the Cavs understandably has been tough, and being grouped into the intense spotlight that surrounds... NESN.com
Red Sox Notes: Tremendous Display Of Resilience Paves Way To Win Vs. Astros
It has been a chaotic couple of days for the Boston Red Sox. On top of the fact that in the past two days alone Mookie Betts and Dustin Pedroia have landed on the 10-day disabled list, the Sox visibly had been overwhelmed by the Houston Astros. The reigning World Series champs cruised to victory in the first two contests of the four-game set at Minute Maid Park. And in that stretch, Drew Pomeranz’s struggles continued, while Chris Sale was knocked around for the second straight outing. At points Saturday, it looked like it was going to be more of the same the Sox. But thanks to a nice show of resilience, Boston resolve
Red Sox’s Chris Sale Talks What Makes Houston Astros’ Offense So Good
Chris Sale knew he had his work cut out for him facing a Houston Astros lineup. The Boston Red Sox lefty gave up four runs on six hits in Friday night’s 7-3 loss at Minute Maid Park, but also was familiar with the Astros after facing them twice in the 2017 American League Division Series. After the game, he credited Houston’s offense, saying the team winning the World Series in 2017 speaks to just how good they are. To hear all of Sale’s comments, check out the “NESN Sports Today” video above, presented by People’s United Bank. ... NESN.com
Former Cav Isaiah Thomas Pokes Fun At Himself Ahead Of NBA Finals Game 1
Several players who were on the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Opening Night roster will be watching the NBA Finals from the couch, including Isaiah Thomas. The current Los Angeles Lakers point guard was one of five players dealt by the Cavs as part of their fire sale at the trade deadline back in February. But while Thomas’ tenure in Cleveland was short-lived and reportedly very tumultuous, the two-time All-Star isn’t afraid to laugh about the situation. Mere hours before Game 1 of the Finals at Oracle Arena, Thomas posted an Instagram photo from one of his 15 games played with the Cavaliers alongside LeBron James and J.R. Smith, coupled with the capti... NESN.com
