In the Western Conference finals, Colorado is feeling the sting of a missed opportunity. The Avalanche dropped Game two to the Golden Knights three to one, and coach Jared Bednar made no secret of his frustration, pointing to stretches where his team had the momentum and the chances to pull away but couldn't convert. Vegas now controls the series and the Avs have some serious answers to find.
Shifting to the hardwood, Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs made NBA Playoffs history in Game three against the Thunder — and they still lost. That's the kind of season San Antonio has been navigating, watching their young phenom etch his name into the record books while the wins remain elusive. Wembanyama says the Thunder's physicality is a challenge, but one he's ready to absorb and answer.
And in Anaheim, a storybook debut for Wade Meckler. The hometown kid suited up for the Angels on Friday night, launched a three-run homer in the first inning, and then Mike Trout was right there at home plate to greet him. The Angels won nine to six over Texas, and Meckler said it all felt surreal — which, honestly, it should.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
