Share this: Avery Bradley said “I know I’m going to bring it” when asked about Game 3 following his team’s 44-point loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals Friday night. The Boston Celtics guard certainly brought it in Game 3, as he hit the game-winning shot with 0.1 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to complete a 21-point comeback and secure the win at Quicken Loans Arena. Bradley scored 20 points with four assists in 42 minutes. He and Marcus Smart, who had a team-high 27 points, led the Celtics offensively with superstar guard Isaiah Thomas out for the rest of the playoffs with a hip injury.

Tim Tebow’s Errant Throw Drilled Unsuspecting Fan Right Where It Hurts
Share this: It appears Tim Tebow still needs to work on his accuracy. The former NFL quarterback turned baseball player was warming up before his game Tuesday night and one got away from him. Tebow, who now plays for the New York Mets’ Single-A team, the Columbia Fireflies, accidentally hit an unsuspecting fan below the belt before their game against the Lakewood Blue Claws, according to the New York Post. “I hear this guy behind me yell, ‘Watch out,'” Doug Brustman told the New York Post. “And as he’s yelling, the ball comes right through the railing and hits me right in the nuts. It was a direct hit.” Brustman brought his 13-year-old daughter, Morgan, to see her idol play and ended up getting a

Derby delight for Fenerbahçe and St-Étienne
Fenerbahçe and St-Étienne grabbed the spoils on a weekend of high-profile derbies against fellow UEFA Europa League hopefuls, and there were smiles too for a Manchester United team back on track. The Turkish Cup round of 16 brought a pair of UEFA Europa League sides together in Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe, and it was Fener who got the better of their Istanbul neighbours thanks to Robin van Persie's decider in a 1-0 victory. A place in the last eight proved beyond Osmanlıspor, on the other hand, as they succumbed to Kasımpaşa after extra time.
Lorenzo: “Best start possible: first and first!”
Movistar Yamaha MotoGP rider Jorge Lorenzo began his final weekend with the Yamaha Factory team in the best way possible: fastest in both the morning and afternoon sessions. Happy with the Michelin tyres brought to the venue and satisfied after a good day’s work, the ‘Spartan’ is aiming high for the top step in his final race with the team, and on home turf – the venue one on which the Spaniard has taken wins in 2010, 2013 and 2015.

Arsenal Transfer News: Phil Jones Pursuit Shut Down By Manchester United
Share this: Arsenal needs a center back to be a serious contender for the Premier League title after finishing second to Leicester City last season. The club’s defensive issues were glaring in an opening weekend loss to Liverpool at the Emirates, and improvement is unlikely to happen without outside reinforcements brought in through the transfer market. One center back who seems unlikely to come to Arsenal is Manchester United’s Phil Jones. The reason for it, according to the Manchester Evening Standard is “because (United manager) Jose Mourinho doesn’t want to do business with (Arsenal manager) Arsene Wenger.” Quite frankly, the Gunners dodged a bullet here, assuming this is actually how Mourinho feels. Jones has not come close to fulfilling his potential as the next great English
Who’s To Blame For The Boston Red Sox’s Late-Season Bullpen Woes?
Share this: The Red Sox’s bullpen has picked up a nasty habit of blowing leads in the latter part of Boston’s 2016 season, and everyone already is looking for someone to blame. Make no mistake, Thursday’s 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers did feel like the last straw in many ways. The Red Sox struck for two runs in the top of the eighth to take a 3-1 lead, and in the very next half inning, Junichi Tazawa and Brad Ziegler negated all that by giving up three runs, blowing a lead in the seventh inning or later for the third time in eight days. But at the end of the day, there’s not necessarily only one person to blame. The fingers Thursday immediately
