Tatum scores 37 points and Celtics hold to beat stubborn Pistons 124-118

by with No Comment Uncategorized

(AP) — Jayson Tatum scored six of his 37 points in the final 65 seconds and the Boston Celtics held on for a 124-118 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night.

The Celtics led by as many as 23 points in the first half, but trailed for much of the third quarter. Jrue Holiday tied the game with back-to-back 3-pointers, and Tatum put the Celtics up 116-114 by hitting a pair of free throws with 1:05 left.

The Pistons missed two shots on the ensuing possession and Tatum’s jumper made it 118-114 with 29 seconds left.

Malik Beasley’s 3-pointer pulled Detroit within one, but Derrick White hit two free throws and Boston clinched the game from the line.

Jaylen Brown had 24 points and 10 rebounds for Boston. Jaden Ivey had 26 points for Detroit while Cade Cunningham finished with 21 points and 10 assists.

Takeaways

Celtics: Boston started the game looking like they would break the NBA record of 29 3-pointers they tied on Tuesday against the Knicks. They had 15 in the first 18 minutes of the game, building a 64-44 lead. In the next 18 minutes, they went 4 of 14 on 3s.

Pistons: A young team could have rolled over when they were getting blown out by the defending champions, but Detroit outshot Boston 59.1% to 33.3% in a 31-point third quarter. But they couldn’t create good shots down the stretch.

Key Moment

After cutting Detroit’s lead to 110-106 with 8:16 left, the Celtics failed to score on their next six possessions until Holiday hit a 3-pointer with 3:32 to play. However, the Pistons only scored two points in the stretch.

Key Stat

The Pistons led 110-106 with 8:16 to play, but only scored eight more points.

Up Next

The Celtics play host to the Milwaukee Bucks while the Pistons face the Heat in Miami on Monday night.

After one quarter, Richardson was just 1-of-7 for 15 yards and led the team with four carries for 30 yards.

The Colts and the Dolphins traded possessions throughout the second quarter with nothing to show for it until the Dolphins connected on a 33-yard field goal to go up 10-0 with 22 seconds left in the half.

But the Colts quickly got into field goal position with a touchback and a 33-yard completion to wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., and kicker Matt Gay sent a 52-yard kick straight through the uprights to put the Colts on the board heading into halftime.

Richardson completed four passes for 61 yards in the half and the Colts combined for 74 total rushing yards. By comparison, the Dolphins had 115 rushing yards and Huntley completed seven passes for 87 yards.

Sixers beat Hawks, but Paul George’s knee injury overshadows everything

Sixers beat Hawks, but Paul George’s knee injury overshadows everything

by with No Comment Uncategorized

So, what does everyone want to talk about?

The Sixers knocked off the Atlanta Hawks 104-89 in a preseason contest Monday night, but did not come away unscathed. Paul George scored eight points tonight before leaving with what the team called a left knee hyperextension.

Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. led the Sixers with 14 points each, though neither did it efficiently. Maxey shot 5-of-18 from the field while Oubre went just 4-of-12 from the field and 1-of-8 from three.

Eric Gordon started the game in place of Caleb Martin, though that feels significantly less newsworthy than it did pregame.

Here are some thoughts at the buzzer.

First Quarter

  • For the third straight game, the Sixers’ offense got off to an abysmal start. They made one shot over the first five minutes of the game and turned it over four times. This start was certainly more understandable — three games in four nights in the preseason in absurd.
  • So it happens in other arenas too. There was a slight delay early on thanks to a broken clock above one of the rims. They seemed to get it fixed right when an arena employee set a clock on the floor in the mean time, the poor guy.
  • That interruption seemed to do the trick, as the Sixers ripped off a 9-2 run when play resumed. George shot the ball well, primarily on pull-up jumpers, going 3-of-4 in the quarter.
  • The first subs off the bench tonight were Caleb Martin, Kyle Lowry and Guerschon Yabusele — not really any surprises there. Martin and Oubre were each able to get a bucket in transition, tying the game up at 23 at the end of one.

Second Quarter

  • In a unit with a good blend of starters and backups, the Sixers moved the ball (and off the ball) really well to open the quarter. The first six field goals they made in the second were all assisted
  • For the first time this preseason, Yabusele got to play some four as he shared the floor for a minute and a half with Andre Drummond. He is not the quickest rotating over or closing out to the three-point line, perhaps why he hasn’t played there until now. He did have a good shift on offense though, knocking down a three and filling the lane for Lowry who rewarded him with a fast break layup.
  • As if the clock breaking in the first quarter wasn’t bad enough, there were two whole challenges in the second. Straight to jail immediately for everyone involved.
  • There were some interesting plays in the two-man game between Maxey and Drummond towards the end of the half. Drummond found Maxey for a floater on a give-and-go that looked nice, even if it just rimmed out. This lob was a nice sign as well. It feels like Maxey could continue to get more comfortable throwing lobs this close to the rim. The Sixers led by six at the half.

Third Quarter

  • Paul George did not return for the second half, nor was he on the bench. Hopefully it’s nothing more than a “it’s the third game in four nights and still the preseason” type of thing, than anything actually serious.
  • Meanwhile on the floor, the Sixers were once again off to a sloppy start; opening the half shooting 3-of-9 from the floor. Maxey seemed to emphasize hoisting up as many threes as he could, but he was just 2-of-9 on the night. Drummond got up two threes tonight as well, though he missed both and was very hesitant to get the second one up.
  • Lowry is able to help a lot of guys that struggle to figure out where to be with his passing. He threw a more traditional lob to KJ Martin in transition, but this one he threw here as the Hawks’ defense was getting back was so creative.
  • Jared McCain checked in around the four-minute mark. That probably gives us a good sense of who’s in the regular rotation to start things, as he was the first new sub in quite some time. He was short on both of his threes but got a scoop layup to go. The Sixers led by eight after three.

Fourth Quarter

  • The end of the bench continued to trickle in as Reggie Jackson and Ricky Council IV checked in for the first time. Council, who hasn’t played his best ball to start the preseason, came into the game and almost immediately ran over Vit Krejci for a charge.
  • By this time of the night, the team had announced that Paul George had left the game due to an injury, but there was still basketball going on as well. Yabusele continued to play well offensively, hitting another three and slipping down the lane for a dunk on a roll.
  • Adem Bona, Jeff Dowtin Jr. and Justin Edwards were the last Sixers to check in for the night. Edwards had a nice layup and knocked down a three. McCain had some nice bully ball moments on drives, something he’s done well this preseason. Council put a bow on things by knocking down a three from the logo, so it wasn’t all bad tonight!
  • The Sixers are back at home for their next preseason game, meaning it will be televised on NBC Sports Philadelphia. They’ll take on the Brooklyn Nets Wednesday night at 7 p.m. ET.

How the Lynx rallied to beat the Liberty, win WNBA Finals Game 1

How the Lynx rallied to beat the Liberty, win WNBA Finals Game 1

      Charlie Creme projects the women’s NCAA tournament bracket for ESPN.com.

Are you not entertained?

A four-point play in the final 6 seconds of the fourth quarter. A missed free throw that could have won it in regulation. The first team in WNBA postseason history to win after trailing by 15-plus points with less than 5 minutes to play.

Overtime in the opening game of the WNBA Finals.

And now, the Minnesota Lynx have stolen Game 1 in Brooklyn, beating the top-seeded New York Liberty 95-93 in overtime Thursday.

The Lynx trailed by as many as 18 points in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals. But the No. 2 seed rallied to take a one-point lead, 84-83, with 5.1 seconds left in regulation on Courtney Williams’ four-point play.

But it wasn’t over yet. With 0.8 seconds to play, Breanna Stewart converted one of two free throws to knot the score and force overtime, just the sixth WNBA Finals game to need extra time.

Williams added five more points — she led the Lynx with 23 — to seal the win.

New York fell to 0-6 all-time in Game 1 of the Finals, but the Liberty looked in control after pouring on 32 points in the opening period.

ESPN looks at how Minnesota made an improbable rally to take a 1-0 lead in Sunday’s Game 2 (3 p.m. ET, ABC) in Brooklyn.

How did the Lynx pull off one of the greatest comebacks in WNBA playoff history?

Call it belief. Call it resilience. Call it mental toughness. Minnesota had it all to win a game that appeared lost numerous times.

The Lynx were down by as many as 18 and matched the largest comeback in WNBA Finals history, largely on the spark lit by Williams, who scored 12 of her 23 points in the final 2:33 of regulation and overtime. Her four-point play gave Minnesota its first lead with 5.1 seconds left in regulation. It was the first four-point play in the final 10 seconds that gave the team the lead with the free throw in WNBA history — regular season or playoffs.

Notably, that play came off an offensive rebound and pass to the perimeter by Alanna Smith. It was just one of five offensive rebounds for Minnesota — New York had 20 — but it was the biggest one of the game.

Lynx overcome 18-point deficit to steal Game 1 from Liberty

The Lynx mount a remarkable comeback to wipe away an 18-point deficit and take Game 1 of the WNBA Finals from the Liberty.

What does the Lynx’s Game 1 win mean for the rest of the series?

Not only did the Lynx win in shocking fashion, they did it on the road. That gives Minnesota a huge advantage mentally — from the comeback — and historically. The winner of Game 1 of the Finals has won 20 of the 27 WNBA titles (the last to lose the series after winning Game 1 was the 2017 Los Angeles Sparks).

The Liberty have to find a way to recover from a loss they likely still can’t believe happened. New York can focus on the fact that Jonquel Jones scored 24 points and had 10 rebounds (this was just the Liberty’s fourth loss in 33 games in which Jones had a double-double) and that Leonie Fiebich made 5 of 9 3-pointers.

If those kinds of performances can be duplicated, and just one of Stewart (6-of-21 from field) or Sabrina Ionescu (8-of-26, though 3-for-9 beyond the arc) shoots better, the Liberty can recover.

It’s a long series. As we saw Thursday, things can change in an instant. But if the Lynx go on to win their fifth championship, this game will be remembered in Minnesota and the league, and perhaps haunt New York, for a long time.

What adjustments need to be made by both teams?

Minnesota won despite being dominated on the glass 44-32. New York took 19 more shots thanks to 20 offensive rebounds. The result would have been different if New York had shot better than 37.8% from the field.

Credit Minnesota’s defense for much of that. Stewart and Ionescu combined to shoot 14-for-47. Stewart’s missed free throw at the end of regulation and missed layup at the buzzer in overtime were nearly as big as Williams’ heroics. Napheesa Collier had 21 points on 10-for-16 shooting, but she also showed why she won WNBA Defensive Player of the Year with her work on Stewart, who was just 1-of-9 when Collier was the primary defender. Collier also blocked six shots, the third most in Finals history, including one each on Jones and Stewart late in the fourth quarter.

But Minnesota used plenty of secondary help to contain Stewart. New York coach Sandy Brondello will have to counter in Game 2 to get her star more open looks.

Napheesa Collier stuns Brooklyn crowd with OT go-ahead jumper

Napheesa Collier buries a turnaround jumper with a hand in her face to put the Lynx back in front late in overtime.

How does New York shake off this loss?

These will be a long 2½ days for New York until Game 2 tips off. Following the disappointment of losing to the Las Vegas Aces in last year’s WNBA Finals, this will test the mental toughness of the Liberty players.

What might help is if all of their film sessions in the next 48 hours focuses on the first quarter. The Liberty dominated the first 10 minutes and led by 13. Their 32 points were the most they scored in any quarter this season. The offense looked smooth and efficient. Jones was dominant early and Ionescu hit two 3-pointers late.

The offense had good moments the rest of the game, but got ragged in the fourth quarter and overtime. It’s always surprising to see comebacks like Thursday’s. Seeing a veteran team like the Liberty lose a game like this is even more shocking.

Packers take down Rams, 24-19, to move to 3-2

Karl Brooks sacked Stafford for a loss of eight on third-and-6 to start the fourth quarter, forcing the Rams to punt.

Starting from their own 7, the Packers converted their first two first downs off a 10-yard pass to Wicks and a 9-yard throw to Kraft. Love gave Green Bay its first third-down conversion with a 12-yard scramble on third-and-12 to the Green Bay 42.

Braden Fiske jumped offsides on third-and-5 to give the Packers a first down at the Rams’ 36. Green Bay punted from midfield with a little more than six minutes remaining.

Stafford led a 11-play, 91-yard scoring drive that ended with a 1-yard TD pass to DeMarcus Robinson with 3:30 left. The Packers maintained a 24-19 lead after stopping the two-point conversion on Carrington Valentine’s tackle of Tutu Atwell on an end-around.

Green Bay started the series with a 13-yard run by Josh Jacobs but were forced to punt with 3:10 left after Love’s deep ball for Wicks fell incomplete. The Rams took over at their 29 and converted on third-and-1 with a 7-yard Williams run.

Kenny Clark pressured Stafford into an incompletion on second-and-10 from the Rams’ 45. On the next play, Parkinson was tackled inches short of the first down as the game reached the two-minute warning.

Williams converted the fourth-and-1 run to the Green Bay 43. There was a 10-second runoff to 1:24 after it was ruled Whittington caught a 5-yard pass to the Packers’ 38. Brooks and Preston Smith registered a second sack of Stafford on the next play, causing LA to use its third and final timeout facing third-and-12 with 1:11 left.

After a 7-yard pass to Parkinson set up fourth-and-5, Cooper hit Stafford while he unsuccessfully fired a pass to Parkinson on a slant for the turnover on downs. Love kneeled out the win.

Colts QB out with a hip injury; Colts beat the Steelers

by with No Comment Uncategorized

Indianapolis started Week Four of the NFL season by suffering a notable loss. 

A few hours later, it earned a significant win.

Despite second-year Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson leaving the game in the first quarter with an apparent hip injury, Indianapolis held on to beat previously undefeated Pittsburgh (3-1), 27-24, behind backup Joe Flacco and a final defensive stand.

Richardson’s injury marred an otherwise dream start to the game for the Colts (2-2).

Richardson completed three of his first four passes for 71 yards and added 24 more rushing yards but was injured after being hit near the right hip on a 14-yard scramble downfield with 5:42 to play in the first quarter, Richardson immediately was seen reaching for the area and missed the next two plays before returning. 

More Sports from NBC News

But on his first play back, Richardson struggled to run to his left on first-and-goal just 6 yards from the end zone and immediately left the game again. The team initially ruled Richardson as questionable to return, but he was soon downgraded to out for the rest of the game.

The fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, Richardson’s brief NFL tenure has been marked by injuries, starting with a concussion in only his second career game. Shortly after he returned, he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in October 2023 that required surgery.

Flacco completed 16 of his 26 passes, including two touchdowns, and didn’t turn the ball over in relief of Richardson. Pittsburgh is dealing with its own quarterback injuries. Starting for the fourth consecutive week in place of Russell Wilson, Steelers QB Justin Fields threw for 312 yards with a touchdown and ran for two touchdowns while rallying Pittsburgh from down by as many as 17 points in the first half.

The Steelers had the ball in the final minute with a chance to either tie or take the lead, but Fields’ final pass was incomplete on fourth down with 37 seconds left.

Panthers get a needed road win, beat the Raiders 36-22

by with No Comment Uncategorized

There was a sense of equilibrium restored with the win because having a passing game that worked set up the other stuff and allowed them to show the progress that head coach Dave Canales talked about seeing in other areas.

They gained 437 total yards, after gaining 359 combined in the first two games of the season (193 in New Orleans, 159 last week at home against the Chargers).

Chuba Hubbard ran for 114 yards on 21 carries, and caught one of the first-half touchdown passes from Dalton (finishing with 169 yards from scrimmage). He also passed Stephen Davis for seventh on the franchise’s all-time rushing list during the game.

Diontae Johnson and Adam Thielen had the other two receiving touchdowns in the first half, as the Panthers added the downfield element to the passing game. They had five passes of 20 yards or more in the first half alone (they had none in the first two games).

Johnson finished with eight catches for 122 yards and the score, the kind of lead-receiver production they were hoping for when they acquired the former Steelers wideout in a March trade.

It was one game, to be sure. But it was one they very much needed.

Erik ten Hag hails ‘perfect night’ as Man United beat Barnsley

by with No Comment Uncategorized

  • Rob Dawson, CorrespondentSep 17, 2024, 05:59 PM ET

MANCHESTER, England — Erik ten Hag hailed a “perfect night” after Manchester United beat Barnsley 7-0 in the Carabao Cup.

Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Christian Eriksen all scored twice while Antony found the net from the penalty spot as Ten Hag recorded the biggest win of his reign.

It was also United’s largest margin of victory since beating Southampton 9-0 in February 2021 under former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

“Not for me but for the team this is the perfect night,” Ten Hag said afterwards. “I think we could do everything that we planned to do; how we win, next round, scored some great goals, entertained the fans, we worked on our game model so we are happy.”

Ten Hag was able to rotate his squad against League One Barnsley, making eight changes from the team that beat Southampton 3-0 on Saturday.

Rashford was one of three players to keep his place and followed up his goal at the weekend with another two.

It was the first time the England forward has scored more than one in a game since scoring twice in a 3-0 win over Leicester in February 2023.

“I know from my first season here that when he scores then, for the team, it’s more easy,” said Ten Hag. “When you have a player in your squad who is a guarantee for goals then it can make the difference. You can do a lot of things very well between the boxes but football matches are decided in the box.”

United have bounced back from the 3-0 defeat to Liverpool by scoring 10 goals without conceding against Southampton and Barnsley.

“I was not devastated after Liverpool and I am not celebrating now,” said Ten Hag. “It is a never-ending process. I know where I want to go, in which direction. I know we have a lot of speed, dynamic and we have seen this today and we have players capable of dominating possession. We have to work even harder to get all the stages of the game right.”

Champions League live reaction: Manchester City held by Inter Milan, PSG beat Girona late

by with No Comment Uncategorized

Sometimes you watch matches like these, with the home side strong favourites but failing to score, and instinctively think, “Hmm, maybe they just need a proper No 9 to provide a penalty box presence?”.

But, of course, having scored eight goals in his previous three games, Erling Haaland is precisely that man for Manchester City. Haaland had a decent attempt roll just wide in the first half, but Inter deserve credit for largely shackling him.

Still, City might feel they could have caused them more problems, particularly in the wide spaces where Inter were undermanned in their 3-5-2 shape.

There was some good combination play, particularly involving Rico Lewis in the right channel, and various players offer a long-range shooting threat, with Josko Gvardiol and Rodri trying their luck.

City’s xG ended up above 1.5 — and yet you still felt that Inter’s defending had merited a clean sheet.

Football Erases 17-Point Deficit to Beat South Carolina, 36-33 – LSU

by with No Comment Uncategorized

COLUMBIA, S.C. – After falling behind 17-0 at the 12:19 mark in the second quarter, the No. 16 Tigers fought until the final whistle to defeat South Carolina at Williams-Brice Stadium, 36-33, on Saturday in Columbia.

Today’s victory marked the second-largest (tied) comeback win in program history away from home. The program record is 21 points versus Ole Miss in Jackson on Oct. 29, 1977.

LSU returns to Tiger Stadium next Saturday for a 2:30 p.m. CT kick against UCLA. The game will be televised on ABC.

Sellers and the South Carolina offense saw early success in the passing game, completing back-to-back passes to move across midfield, and would not look back. Running back Rocket Sanders would then break open a 27-yard gain for the Gamecocks, bringing the ball down to the LSU 4. Sellers would find paydirt in with a four yard QB keeper, putting a bow on an a seven play opening scoring drive, spanning 75 yards and just two minutes and 46 seconds.

On 3rd-and-11, with South Carolina threatening once again in LSU territory, Sellers’ pass to the end zone was intercepted by senior cornerback Zy Alexander, giving the Tigers the back back with 8:15 to play in the first quarter.

LSU’s offensive line surrendered their first sack of the season as Nussmeier was brought down for a 12-yard loss on 3rd-and-10 by Kyle Kennard. The Gamecocks were getting pressure early and often from edge rushers that are rated among the top in college football. LSU trailed 7-0 with 5:13 to play in the first quarter.

With 13:49 to play in the second quarter, South Carolina added to their lead with a 28-yard field goal from Alex Herrera, however, the Tigers defense made a stop on 3rd-and-7 as Ashton Stamps forced an incomplete pass, limiting the damage to three points instead of seven.

On 4th-and-21 from the LSU 41, Peyton Todd’s punt was blocked by Maurice Brown and recovered by Buddy Mack III and returned 16 yards to the LSU 10. Sanders then rushed for a 10-yard gain up the muddle for a touchdown to extend their lead to 17-0 with 12:19 to play.

The Tigers finally got on the board midway through the second quarter as freshman running back Caden Durham broke a 26-yard rushing touchdown on 3rd-and-9, cutting the deficit to 17-7 with 8:08 to play in the first half.

LSU got another massive stop from its defense in a big moment. On 3rd-and-12 from the USC 20, Sellers was sacked by Sage Ryan and Harold Perkins for a loss of 14 yards and a fumble, which was recovered by Perkins at the South Carolina 18.

The Tigers advanced to the USC 11, but on 3rd-and-3, Nussmeier’s pass to CJ Daniels fell incomplete, forcing a field goal. Placekicker Damien Ramos got LSU closer by connecting on a 28-yard field goal, making it a 17-10 game at the 4:28 mark.

The momentum was quickly halted as Sellers broke a 75-yard touchdown run over the middle of the field, extending South Carolina’s lead to 24-10 with 4:15 to play in the half. The Gamecocks had 232 yards of total offense to LSU’s 89 at that point.

Nussmeier responded with some big time throws to Daniels and Aaron Anderson. Back to-back-to-back throws of 18, 23, and 20 yards brought the Tigers inside SC territory to the Gamecock 16.

Nussmeier would then find Kyren Lacy for a 12-yard touchdown score, cutting the deficit to 24-16 with 1:20 to play. The PAT attempt was no good.

Bradyn Swinson brought Sellers to the ground for a sack to end the half. LSU trailed SC 24-16.

Kaleb Jackson opened the second half with a big 19-yard gain to the LSU 44. Nussmeier then found Anderson for a 44-yard pickup near the sideline, bringing the ball down to the USC 16. On 3rd-and-10 from the Gamecock 14, Nussmeier’s pass to Anderson was incomplete, but a flag for pass interference was called, giving LSU a first down at the 2-yard line. However, on 4th-and-1 from the 1, Nussmeier’s pass to Williams was incomplete, forcing a turnover on down.

On the next possession, after LSU’s defense forced a quick stop, the freshman Durham continued to flash, rushing for a 20-yard gain to the USC 25. On the next play, Nussmeier found Mason Tayor for a 16-yard gain to the USC 9. Durham then rush left for a 9-yard touchdown score, cutting the deficit to 24-24 with 6:47 to play in the third quarter. LSU elected to go for two-point conversion, but was not successful.

LSU captured its first lead of the game as Nussmeier found Taylor for a 2-yard touchdown completion, putting the Tigers up 29-24 with 14:56 to play in the contest. It capped off a 10 play, 80-yard drive that spanned five minutes and three seconds.

In a game full of explosive plays, Sanders provided another one with a 66-yard rushing touchdown on a defensive bust for the Tigers, giving the Gamecocks the lead back, 30-29, with 13:51 to play. South Carolina tried for two points, but the attempt was no good.

On 1st-and-10 from the LSU 25, an unexpected snap hit Nussmeier in the chest, causing a fumble, which was recovered by Dylan Stewart of South Carolina at the LSU 24. However, the Tigers were able to force a quick stop and a field goal, making it 33-29 with 10:34 remaining.

With 7:02 to play, Robby Ashford was sacked for a loss of 12 yards as Swinson, the defensive end from Douglasville, Ga., caused a fumbled, which was recovered by Major Burns at the USC 12. However, on 3rd-and-11, Nussmeier threw an interception to Nick Emmanwori, negating the chance at points.

With 2:03 to play, Nussmeier found Lacy on 1st-and-10 from the USC 33 for a critical 29-yard pickup, advancing the ball down to the USC 4. The sixth-year senior Williams would put the Tigers back on top with 1:12 remaining with a 2-yard touchdown rush, giving LSU the 36-33 lead.

With the chance to for overtime on the line, Alex Herrera’s 49-yard attempt with five seconds to play was wide left, giving LSU the 36-33 victory in Columbia.
