LeBron James, Cavs’ Big Three Dash Any Chance Celtics Had To Come Back
The Boston Celtics had to be feeling good at halftime Tuesday night. They had just played a great first half in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and LeBron James already was in foul trouble with the C’s leading by 10 at the break. “I thought we played as well as maybe we have the entire playoffs during the first half,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens told reporters afterward.

Oregon’s Marcus Mariota and Florida State’s Jameis Winston headlined day four of the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine, as the two are expected to be among the first players off the board in the NFL draft. Both Mariota and Winston performed capably in throwing drills, but when they toed the line for the 40-yard dash, the Duck left the Seminole in the dust. In case this video of the two sprints superimposed on each other didn’t clear it up for you, Mariota is a heck of a lot faster than Winston. In fact, the
