CNN — The Oklahoma City Thunder evened up the NBA Finals on Sunday by rolling the Indiana Pacers, easing to a 123-107 victory that washed away some of the bad taste left by the Pacers’ dramatic win in the series’ opening game. The Thunder broke away from the Pacers in the second quarter with one of the team’s patented extended runs, the kind of sequence that made OKC the NBA’s best team in the regular season and saw them lead the league in point differential. Led by MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s stellar performance and a strong showing by guard Alex Caruso…
CNN — The first nine days, Will Goodge says, felt like a “revolving nightmare,” an unending cycle of running and eating, running and eating until it was eventually time to sleep. Except when he did try to close his eyes, sleep would rarely feel restorative, only feverish and restless. Hallucinations became an unpleasant and regular occurrence – “kind of like you’re dreaming but awake at the same time,” says Goodge – and a deep, aching sensation had settled into his muscles and bones. At this point, the British influencer and endurance athlete had barely scratched the surface of his record-breaking…

CNN — Brad Marchand is making NHL history at the ripe old age of 37 in the Stanley Cup Final, and his Florida Panthers look well on their way to a second consecutive championship after a dominant 6-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers that was marred by a wild brawl late in the game. The Panthers now lead the best-of-seven series two games to one. Less than a minute into Game 3 Monday night, Marchand dented the scoreboard again to get the scoring started for the Panthers. The 16-year NHL veteran has scored four goals through three games so far…
CNN — Hall of Fame coach Don Nelson is clearly not a fan of how the Dallas Mavericks traded Luka Dončić earlier this year, and he found a novel way of expressing his disapproval. The 85-year-old was at Game 2 of this year’s NBA Finals on Sunday to pick up the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award winner, recognition for his 31 years as one of the most successful coaches ever. But it was Nelson’s choice of footwear which made the headlines, with the former Mavericks coach wearing Dončić’s signature Jordan Brand sneakers. “I want everybody to know I’m wearing Luka’s…
CNN — We’ve seen plenty of sports stars make movie cameos throughout the years, from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in “Airplane!” to Dan Marino in “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” and finally Michael Jordan and a plethora of NBA stars in the iconic “Space Jam.” And we could see another one soon thanks to a bet between Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry and actor Adam Sandler. Henry, who is a self-professed superfan of Sandler’s work, agreed to a wager during an appearance on “The Dan Patrick Show” where if he reaches 2,000 rushing yards in the 2025 season, Patrick would get the…
London, England CNN — Less than a month away from the start of the Women’s Euros in Switzerland, England heads into the tournament as defending champion, ranked No. 4 in the world and with memories of success lingering. Sitting in the Wembley Stadium dressing room where those Euro 2022 celebrations took place, Lionesses head coach Sarina Wiegman remembered seeing a group of players and a nation that were not only ready to win, but desperate to lift some silverware. However, she recalled being keen to extinguish that sentiment pre-Euros. “I’ve talked to many people before the tournament even started then,…
