Last time out, the New York Knicks threw a block party on the Trail Blazers and an 80th birthday party for “Clyde.” They take midtown Manhattan to follow up on Tuesday night, seeking a fifth win in six tries while hosting the white-flagged Philadelphia 76ers.

Four Knicks had multiple blocks on Sunday. Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby each notched 28 points. The wings are coming on in the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle) — across their last 10, Bridges is scoring almost 23 per game on 54/38/90 shooting splits, and Anunoby is averaging a tick under 24 per game and three full stocks (steals + blocks).

The usually excellent Karl-Anthony Towns is mired in a mini-lull. He stumbled to 14 points, three turnovers and five fouls in Friday’s defeat of the Bucks, and went 4-of-13 in Sunday’s win. March was his worst shooting month of the season.
Of course, almost anyone can get right against the 23-52 Sixers. Tyrese Maxey has a sprained finger and hasn’t played since March 3. Philly has dropped eight straight — five by double-digits, even one to the Washington Wizards (!). The Raptors just Fetty Wapped them, shooting 17 of 38 behind the arc. The Knicks should cook here.
At least Quentin Grimes can get up for a revenge look against his former employer. He rested in that Raptors loss but was not listed on Tuesday’s injury report. Grimes averaged 8.6 points in three Knicks seasons and started six playoff games, but he’s up to 21.8 as a high-volume option for a hapless team.
New York is 25-9 as a home favorite this season. Between Mike Breen, Walt Frazier and Kenny Albert, few League Pass broadcasts rival MSG’s pageantry.
Buzzer-beaters:
- Philadelphia has one against NY: T.J. McConnell’s icy heartbreaker in 2017.
- New York has two against Philly: Jim Barnes at the rim in 1965, and Nate Robinson from 23 feet out in 2005. From The New York Times’ Howard Beck: “Robinson, a rookie guard, scored a career-high 17 points yesterday, 10 after halftime, and effectively checked the 76ers’ Allen Iverson for much of the afternoon. And he made his greatest mark in the final second. Iverson had hit a 3-pointer to tie the score at 102-102 with 6.2 seconds left. The Knicks inbounded immediately, and Stephon Marbury, cut off near the top of the key, zipped the pass to Robinson in the right corner. His 3-pointer passed through the rim as the buzzer sounded. Pandemonium erupted.”

Kyle Manzardo’s walk-off homer lifts Guardians over Twins after lengthy rain delay
CLEVELAND — Chris Paddack and the Minnesota Twins pitching staff were very good in a rain-delayed game on Tuesday night. The Cleveland Guardian pitchers were just a little better.Tanner Bibee and two high-leverage relievers shut down a hot Twins offense, and Bo Naylor and Kyle Manzardo each went deep, the latter with a walk-off home run, as the Guardians won 2-1 at Progressive Field. Manzardo’s solo homer off Louie Varland to start the ninth inning snapped the Twins’ four-game winning streak and evened the four-game series.AdvertisementThe teams waited out a 190-minute rain delay during which it only rained for roughly five minutes.“We were playing good baseball,” Twins shortstop Carlos Correa said. “It was a good game. We didn’t come up with a win. Come back (Wednesday) and keep up the same spirits. We’ve been playing great ball for the last […]

Fluminense x Aparecidense: só motivação não basta mais para evolução do tricolor; leia análise
Com força máxima, o Fluminense esperava encaminhar a classificação às oitavas de final da Copa do Brasil na última terça-feira. Mas não foi isso o que se viu no Maracanã. O time de Renato Gaúcho venceu a modesta Aparecidense-GO, da Série D do Campeonato Brasileiro, por 1 a 0, graças a um gol de Keno aos 35 minutos do 2º tempo e deixou o campo sob vaias da torcida.

Trainersuche bei Leverkusen – Ex-Bayern-Star als Alonso-Nachfolger im Visier!
Nach der Niederlage im spanischen Pokalfinale gegen Barcelona (2:3 n. V.) kam Bewegung in die Trainer-Entscheidung bei Real Madrid. Vor allem das fiese Gesicht der Verlierer-Stars um den deutschen Verteidiger Antonio Rüdiger (32) mit insgesamt drei Roten Karten in den Schluss-Sekunden für Real beschleunigten den Trennungs-Prozess von Trainer Carlo Ancelotti (65). Am Sonntagabend hieß es aus der spanischen Hauptstadt, dass die Verkündung nur noch eine Frage von Stunden sei. In Leverkusen verfolgten sie die Entwicklung mit Spannung – je schneller es geht, desto besser. Der Grund: Xabi Alonso ist der Top-Favorit auf den Job bei Real. Der Bayer-Trainer kann seinen Wechsel-Wunsch mit den Bossen Simon Rolfes (43) und Fernando Carro (60) erst dann konkret besprechen, wenn Real seine Entscheidung öffentlich verkündet hat und offiziell mit Alonso in Kontakt tritt. Anschließend kann es schnell gehen bei Bayer mit der Alonso-Nachfolge.Lesen Sie auch<!-->[-->Leverkusen: […]
