Warriors get superhero showing from Stephen Curry, but unsung heroes quietly save the day
Getty Images One night after LeBron James dialed up 38 points and scored 20 in a single half for the 100th time in his playoff career, Stephen Curry followed up with his own "How is he still doing this?" performance in Game 3 against the Rockets on Saturday. The only difference: Curry's masterpiece came in a win. Playing without Jimmy Butler, who was nursing a pelvic and deep glute contusion, Curry put on his cape to the tune of 36 points, nine assists, seven rebounds, five 3-pointers and even a pair of blocked shots as the Warriors -- who trailed by as many as 13 in the first half and managed just 18 first-quarter points -- pulled off a 104-93 victory to take a 2-1 lead in what continues to be a street-fight series. "In this series, no game is gonna be pretty," […]

Barcelona have taken their first step towards a treble. Can they do it?
Jules Kounde had already been one of Barcelona’s best players. It was extra time in an already intense match. Taking advantage of Ferran Torres’ substitution for Pau Victor, he took a breather. He crouched down and then put his hands on his knees, clearly exhausted. He was spent. So were the three forwards. But he had enough strength left to become the unexpected hero.AdvertisementHe intercepted a pass from Luka Modric to Brahim Diaz — who slipped a second earlier — lifted his head, looked at Thibaut Courtois’ goal and didn’t think twice. He fired a powerful shot from outside the area with all of his soul. The Belgian couldn’t stop it. The Frenchman took off the black band from his head that stopped his dreadlocks from falling on his face and ran towards the corner flag, shouting. It was 3-2 […]

Yankees remove Devin Williams from closer role ‘for right now’ as reliever’s struggles continue
Getty Images The New York Yankees have taken Devin Williams out of the ninth inning. Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced Sunday that Williams has been removed as closer following his latest poor showing in which he gave up three earned runs Friday."For right now, I'm going to take him out of that role," said Boone (via The Athletic).Williams, acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers over the offseason, turned in his worst effort of the year on Friday. He entered to a one-run read to begin the ninth inning, but promptly surrendered three runs on two hits and a hit batsman. Williams was subsequently charged with his first blown save, his second loss, and his fourth "meltdown." (The meltdown is a FanGraphs-tracked statistic that judges relievers based on their Win Probability Added.) Is Devin Williams' Airbender to blame for Yankees closer's struggles? What may be […]
