NBA playoffs: Russell Westbrook enjoys himself with hanging dunk tech in Nuggets’ blowout of Clippers
Amid the carnage that was the Denver Nuggets' Game 7 blowout of the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday, it had to feel pretty good to be Russell Westbrook.The veteran guard had a solid two-season career with the Clippers, but was jettisoned last offseason as part of a trade to the Utah Jazz that landed defensive specialist Kris Dunn.

Botafogo sente ausências do time e perde para o Bahia pelo Brasileiro
Com muitos desfalques (sete, ao todo), o Botafogo até que tentou fazer frente ao Bahia. Mas não conseguiu resistir aos donos da casa e perdeu por 1 a 0, na Fonte Nova. Uma derrota que freia a reação da equipe no Brasileiro. Com nove pontos, o atual campeão caiu na tabela e passou para a metade de baixo. Dorme em 11º e pode perder mais posições no complemento da rodada. No próximo domingo, o Botafogo vai tentar se recuperar diante do Internacional, no Nilton Santos. Antes, contudo, fará jogo decisivo contra o Carabobo, na Venezuela, pela Libertadores, na terça-feira. O gol da partida foi de Cauly, aos 38 da primeira etapa, concluindo ótima jogada individual de Erick Pulga. Na etapa final, já na base do abafa, o Botafogo conseguiu equilibrar a partida, e a disputa ficou aberta. Os dois lados […]
