Cade Cunningham put the Detroit Pistons on his back and refused to let them go quietly. The young star dropped a franchise playoff record forty-five points Wednesday night, capping it with a cold-blooded step-back jumper with thirty-two seconds left to beat the Magic and keep Detroit's postseason alive. That is a performance for the history books.
Meanwhile in St. Louis, the Cardinals needed a rookie to save them from heartbreak. Nathan Church went airborne at the left-field wall in the ninth inning and robbed what would have been a walk-off two-run homer, sealing a five to four win over Pittsburgh. Church is barely in the league and already making the kind of play veterans dream about.
And across the Atlantic, Kenya is celebrating a moment that rewrote what human beings are capable of. Sebastian Sawe returned home to jubilant crowds at Nairobi's international airport after becoming the first man ever to break the two-hour barrier in a competitive marathon at the London Marathon on Sunday. His parents were there, the cameras were everywhere, and an entire nation erupted.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
