Keldon Johnson took home Sixth Man of the Year, and he earned every bit of it — but the San Antonio forward was candid this week, admitting it was a genuinely tough year away from the hardwood. The hardware is real, the road to get there was harder.
Shifting to the ice, Philadelphia is one win away from sending Pittsburgh home. The Flyers dominated the second period of Game Three with three goals on just four shots — Trevor Zegras, Rasmus Ristolainen, and Nick Seeler doing the damage — finishing off a five-two victory that has the Penguins staring down elimination.
And in baseball, Oneil Cruz delivered one of the wilder moments of the young season. His three-run shot in the ninth inning struck the very top of the right-field foul pole — the hardest-hit homer in the majors this year — and it powered Pittsburgh past Texas eight to four. The Pirates needed every inch of that ball.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
