Congrats Duke basketball, you no longer have the most mortifying collapse of the month.
The Vancouver Canucks erased a three-goal lead in the final minute of regulation on Tuesday, then stunned the Dallas Stars in overtime for an unprecedented win. Per the NHL, no team had ever lost after holding a three-goal lead in the final three minutes, let alone one.

What makes the comeback even more absurd is the Stars entered the third period with a three-goal lead. The Canucks had the deficit cut to a single goal within five minutes, but goals from Mavrik Bourque and Mikael Granlund in the final minutes should have put the game out of reach, theoretically.
Down 5-2, the Canucks got a goal from Aatu Raty with just less than a minute left. Then Pius Suter to cut the deficit to one again. Then Suter scored one more time to stun the American Airlines Center.
Because no historic comeback is complete without a win, the Canucks finished the job in overtime. The game was less than two minutes from a shootout when Kiefer Sherwood put it to bed.
“I love the fight. The third period, to do that, it’s a character win for the team,” Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet said after the game. “My son texted me ‘You looked like last year’s team.'”

Comebacks were something of a theme Tuesday night, as the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks also erased a 23-point lead in the fourth quarter against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The win allowed the 36-29-13 Canucks to stay alive in the playoff race, but they still need plenty of help with six points separating them from the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference and four games to play. If their season ends next week, they can at least say they did something no other team did.
The Stars, meanwhile, have already clinched a playoff spot. So they have that going for them.

Cruzeiro e Vasco fazem duelo de SAFs em reformulação e com diferença de gastos que não se vê na tabela
O Vasco visita o Cruzeiro às 16h em Uberlândia no duelo entre duas SAFs em reestruturação. Apesar do modelo de gestão distinto e de uma política de gastos bem diferente para a formação de equipes competitivas, os dois clubes amargam o meio da tabela do Brasileirão e sofrem com críticas de suas torcidas. Depois de o Vasco pedir recuperação judicial para aliviar as despesas para administrar a SAF — há um ano o clube está sob controle do associativo e do presidente Pedrinho, ainda sob liminar da Justiça do Rio contra a 777 Partners — a direção investiu de forma controlada em reforços, que somados aos atletas mais caros que já estavam no clube tentam cumprir bom papel. Hoje o time ocupa a nona posição. Foram 7,5 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 45 milhões) gastos pela diretoria até abril, […]

Noční děkovačka mistrů! Na fotbalisty Slavie čekaly v noci u Edenu stovky fanoušků
Když před nedělní druhou hodinou ranní vystoupili Chorý a spol. z vlaku na zastávce u Edenu, mohli nabýt dojmu, že Praha právě slaví příchod nového roku. Oblohu i podchod od stanice ke stadionu ozařovaly světlice.Příznivci vytvořili hráčům a realizačnímu týmu tradiční uličku slávy, se svými hrdiny si plácali a skandovali jejich jména. Vystřihli několikrát také oslavný chorál vítězů „Tak jsme první no a co“.Než slávisté vklouzli do stadionu, kapitán Jan Bořil, obklopený fanoušky, vedl známou pozápasovou děkovačku. Příznivci po ní ještě pár minut vyvolávali jména čerstvých mistrů, kteří v té chvíli už pokračovali v mistrovských oslavách v útrobách Edenu. Vítězný pohár dostanou slávisté po závěrečném duelu nadstavby, po domácím utkání s Baníkem Ostrava (v sobotu 24. května). Mistrovské oslavy zažívají červenobílí po čtyřech letech.
Stephen Curry plays superhero, with help from unsung heroes, as shorthanded Warriors take 2-1 lead vs. Rockets
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," […]
2025 NBA playoffs: How the Warriors stepped up to take Game 3 without Jimmy Butler
SAN FRANCISCO — Game 3 of the Golden State Warriors' first-round series with the Houston Rockets on Saturday was nothing short of a slugfest. They took part in a physical battle all night with bodies hitting the floor from the opening tip through the final buzzer.Missing Jimmy Butler, the Warriors relied on their depth and defense, while the Rockets couldn't contain Stephen Curry or buy a bucket late in the contest. By night's end, one team's poise and a familiar superstar's brilliance proved to be the difference as Golden State secured a 104-93 victory and a 2-1 series lead.Another 'Stephortless' performanceCurry did that thing where he takes over a game in its most pivotal moments — hitting dagger 3s, converting crafty layups and exploiting any mismatch on a big.Game 3 was no different. While both teams had their struggles early […]
