You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get right to it.
LeBron James and the Lakers are one win away from moving on. Down late in regulation, LeBron drained a tying three-pointer with thirteen seconds left, forced overtime, and Los Angeles closed it out one twelve to one oh eight. The series lead stands at three to nothing, and the Rockets are doing this without Kevin Durant.
Shifting to baseball, Adley Rutschman put on an absolute show in Baltimore. The Orioles catcher went deep twice, drove in six runs, and Baltimore hung ten on the slumping Red Sox in a dominant ten to three rout. Six home runs total for the O's, and Boston's problems are piling up fast.
Meanwhile, the Cubs are becoming a walking injury report. Reliever Caleb Thielbar hit the IL Friday with a strained left hamstring, making him the eighth Cubs pitcher to go down this April alone. Eight pitchers in one month is a crisis, and Chicago's front office has to be burning the phone lines trying to find solutions.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
