LeBron James made his presence felt in Philadelphia Friday night, throwing down a thunderous alley-oop off a feed from Tyrese Maxey in front of a sold-out crowd at the Wells Fargo Center. The connection between those two looks real, and Philly is buzzing about what this pairing could become.
Shifting to the ice, the Pittsburgh Penguins looked like a completely different team after the first period in Denver. They built a two-nothing lead, then completely fell apart as the Colorado Avalanche rattled off five straight goals to take it five to two. The Penguins were outpaced, outworked, and outclassed once Colorado turned it on.
And on the college football front, Purdue got a painful reminder Friday night of exactly what they let walk out the door. Former head coach Ryan Walters came back to Ross-Ade Stadium as Washington's defensive coordinator and shut the Boilermakers down in a thirty-eight to twenty-six Huskies victory. Walters is now two for two against the program that fired him after last season.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
