Pacers Completely Blow It Thanks To Dumbest Possible Pass
Victor Oladipo and Kyrie Irving treated everyone to an enthralling late-game duel tonight, combining for 20 points in the final two minutes of the game and swapping huge threes down the stretch. The Pacers trailed for the first 47 minutes of the game and struggled to stop Boston in the first half (J...

Louisville Defender Eats It On Tremendous Crossover
Kentucky’s Maci Morris had the crossover of the season yesterday. It looks like Morris basically trips Louisville’s Sam Fuehring while crossing the ball over, but upon closer examination a slow motion replay shows that… maybe Morris’s foot doesn’t make contact with Feuhring’s? Maybe. Either way, it ...

Indiana Knocks Off Notre Dame In Overtime Finish That Left Gus Johnson Hoarse
We’re used to Gus Johnson unleashing Gusgasms, but Indiana’s overtime comeback to beat Notre Dame that improved their season record to 6-5 and knocked off the 18th-ranked Irish took the Fox announcer to another level....

Borussia Dortmund claimed a 2-1 win over Hoffenheim today when Christian Pulisic juggled his way past Oliver Baumann in the 89th minute to score yet another game-winner for his side, keeping them in third place in the Bundesliga....

Brook Lopez And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Second Quarter
Yes, yes, you’re probably more interested in LeBron vs. Lonzo (James 25-12-12 despite a slightly off shooting night, and tied Larry Bird for sixth all-time with his 59th triple-double; Ball’s was overall very good, with 13 points, 11 assists, and eight boards, but six turnovers), or what James said...

This Never Happened
Click through for the ultra-slow-mo of a play the rules say never happened after being called back due to penalty:...

Luka Doncic Belongs In The NBA And Possibly Jail
Luka Doncic is an 18-year-old Slovenian who plays for Real Madrid in the Euroleague; a 6-foot-8 do-everything phenom; a feverishly touted 2018 prospect; and a bad, bad man. Just look at what he inflicted on poor Victor Claver in today’s game versus FC Barcelona....

White Sox Acquire Cash Considerations
The hot stove is burning to the touch, and the Chicago White Sox are, as usual, stoking the flames. In today’s Rule 5 draft, they used the fourth overall pick on Carlos Tocci, a frail-looking outfielder in the Philadelphia Phillies’ system who’s hit .266/.317/.377 in his minor-league career. Somewha...

The Canucks Let The Predators Put On A Show
Sure, in any seven-goal game you’re going to see some fluke goals. Like P.K. Subban half-whiffing on a giveaway one-timer and the goalie never seeing the knuckling shot; or Subban scoring from center ice; or Filip Forsberg banging in a centering pass off a Canuck’s skate....

Hot Damn, P.K. Subban Scored From A Million Miles Away
P.K. Subban put the Predators up 3-0 in the second period of tonight’s game against the Canucks, getting his second goal of the evening by scoring from a point that just logically seems like it should be near impossible to manage. (From center ice, if you want to get all technical about it)....

Giannis Had Two Dope Slams And Would've Had A Third If Not For John Henson<em></em><em></em>
Giannis Antetokounmpo produced some top-tier highlight clips despite a 115-108 loss to the Pelicans. Early in the night, he contorted himself on a drive and used his long arms to flush it....

Superpowered High Schooler Annihilates A Layup
North Miami High’s Donte Innocent, who’s listed at just six feet tall, somehow gained the power of flight as he went for a chasedown block, completely devouring an opponent who probably though he had an easy bunny....

Soccer Player Crumples In Shame After Sending Penalty Kick Straight To The Moon
When standing over a late, potentially match-winning penalty against top-of-the-table opposition, as Zwolle captain Bram van Polen found himself in yesterday’s game against AZ Alkmaar, the last thing you want your resulting shot attempt to inspire in the crowd is an immediate wave of shocked horror....

Dunk Attempt Ends In Flying Knee
At the Sturgeon Heights Pros vs. Joes event last week, former CFL player Jordan Reaves attempted to entertain attendees by dunking a basketball over Ismail Zaid. He certainly entertained everyone (except for maybe Zaid), though he did not come close to actually accomplishing the dunk....

Nick Kyrgios Played Some Actual Tennis This Year, Too
You can lead Nick Kyrgios to a Slam, but you can’t make him win matches. Maybe he takes two sets against an overwhelmed second-round opponent before deciding that tennis was not a particularly fun way a way to pass the time, and gets booed off home court. Maybe it was time to return to basketball, h...

Jozy Altidore Leads Toronto To Championship In MLS Title Game Rematch
A 67th-minute Jozy Altidore goal led Toronto to a 2-0 win over Seattle that earned his team its first-ever MLS championship and avenged last year’s MLS title match loss to the Sounders....
