Stephon Gilmore Flew In To Spoil The Jaguars' Fun
It probably won’t enter the annals of all-time great postseason plays, mostly because it was done in service of extending the Patriots’ exhausting run of dominance and only served to thwart Blake Bortles, but Stephon Gilmore’s fourth-quarter swat is one of the finest plays you’ll ever see in a big m...

Early in Saturday’s tilt in Minnesota it looked like the Raptors might pull away from the home Timberwolves, who were missing Jimmy Butler due to soreness in his right knee.
